3. Safety Instructions
Please observe the following safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product or personal injury:
- Indoor Use Only: This product is designed for indoor use and is not water-resistant. Avoid exposure to moisture or outdoor elements.
- Power Supply: Use only the provided power adapter. Ensure the voltage matches the product specifications (24 Volts).
- Heat Management: While COB LEDs are efficient, ensure adequate ventilation around the strip and controller, especially during prolonged use. Do not cover the strip with materials that could trap heat.
- Installation Surface: Install on clean, dry, and smooth surfaces. Poor adhesion can lead to the strip falling and potential damage.
- Cutting: Only cut the LED strip at designated cut marks. Cutting elsewhere may damage the circuit and render sections inoperable.
- Children and Pets: Keep the product and its components out of reach of children and pets.
- Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the product components. This will void the warranty and may pose a safety risk.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1. Planning Your Installation
Before installation, plan the layout of your LED strip. Measure the desired length and identify the power source location. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris for optimal adhesive performance. Consider the path for the strip and where the controller and power adapter will be placed.
4.2. Physical Installation
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the surface where the LED strip will be applied. Use a dry cloth to remove any dust or grease.
- Connect Components: Connect the COB LED strip to the controller, and then connect the controller to the power adapter. Do not plug the power adapter into an outlet yet.
- Test the Strip: Before peeling off the adhesive backing, plug in the power adapter to a wall outlet to test if the LED strip lights up correctly.
- Apply the Strip: Unplug the power adapter. Carefully peel off a small section of the adhesive backing from the LED strip. Press the strip firmly onto the cleaned surface, working in small sections. Avoid stretching the strip.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are secure. The controller should be placed in a location where the RF remote can easily communicate with it.

7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | Power adapter not connected, loose connection, faulty power outlet. | Ensure power adapter is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check all connections between the strip, controller, and adapter. |
| Remote control not working. | Remote battery depleted, obstruction between remote and controller, remote out of range. | Replace remote battery. Ensure clear line of sight to the controller. Move closer to the controller (RF range is approximately 15m). |
| App cannot connect to the strip. | Bluetooth off, app not paired, controller issue. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Re-attempt pairing in the app. Restart the app and/or power cycle the LED strip. |
| Lights turn on/off unexpectedly. | Interference from other RF devices, timer setting enabled, faulty controller. | Check for other RF devices nearby that might cause interference. Verify and adjust any timer settings in the app. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| LED strip or controller gets excessively hot. | Poor ventilation, incorrect power supply, internal fault. | Ensure the strip and controller are not covered and have adequate airflow. Verify you are using the provided power adapter. If overheating continues, immediately disconnect power and contact customer support. |
| Adhesive not sticking. | Surface not clean or smooth, dust/debris. | Ensure the installation surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. For rough or uneven surfaces, additional clips or adhesive may be required (not included). |
