3. Test Lights: Before peeling off the adhesive, plug in the lights to ensure they function correctly.
4. Adhesion: Carefully peel off the adhesive backing from the LED strip. Press the strip firmly onto the prepared surface, working in small sections to ensure smooth and secure attachment.
5. Corners and Bends: For corners, avoid sharp 90-degree bends that can damage the strip. Instead, create a small loop or fold the strip gently to navigate corners. This ensures the LEDs lay flat and prevents damage to the internal circuitry.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DAYBETTER RGBW IC LED Strip Lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strip with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
