Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your CINOTON Permanent Outdoor Lights. Ensure safety by using a stable ladder and having assistance if needed.
- Plan Your Layout: Before installation, plan the desired path for your lights. The lights are designed to be permanent and are not cuttable. Consider the length needed for each section of your house.
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the installation surface (e.g., eaves, walls) with a damp cloth to ensure optimal adhesion of the 3M adhesive strips. For certain surfaces like tin siding, glass cleaner may provide better results than rubbing alcohol.
- Connect Light Segments: Connect the 25ft light segments together. Align the arrows on the connectors and twist to secure. Use the provided 12ft extension cable if additional length is needed between segments.
- Test Lights Before Mounting: Before permanently mounting, connect the entire light string to the control box and power adapter. Plug it into an outlet to test all lights and ensure they function correctly. This also allows you to familiarize yourself with the app and remote control.
- Mount the Lights: Peel off the 3M adhesive backing from each light puck and firmly press it against the cleaned surface. For enhanced security and long-term stability, use the provided accessory clips and screws to secure each light.
- Optimal Placement: For the best lighting effects, install the lights approximately 2-4 inches away from the wall. This allows for a wider and more even glow.
