5. Setup & Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your UPONELED Eaves Lights:

1. Plan Installation: Determine the desired placement for your lights. It is recommended to install the lights 2-4 inches away from the wall surface for optimal lighting effect.
2. Test Lights: Before permanent installation, connect the light string to the power supply and plug it in to ensure all lights are functioning correctly.
3. Clean Surface: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. For temporary fixes or smooth surfaces like glass or metal, the adhesive tape can be used. For long-term permanent fixing or irregular walls, screws are recommended.
4. Attach Lights:
   • Using Adhesive Tape: Peel off the adhesive backing from each light. Firmly stick the light to the wall, pressing for over 5 seconds to ensure a secure connection.
   • Using Screws: Drill screw holes according to the installation position on the wall. Fix each light with the provided screws through the designated holes.
