4. Setup and Installation

The Brightever Under Cabinet Lights offer three convenient installation methods:

Method 1: Magnetic Attachment

The lights have built-in powerful magnets. If your desired mounting surface is ferromagnetic (e.g., a metal refrigerator or shelf), you can directly attach the light to it.

Method 2: Adhesive Metal Plate

For non-ferromagnetic surfaces, use the provided adhesive metal plates.

  1. Clean the installation area thoroughly to ensure it is dry and free of dust.
  2. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the metal plate.
  3. Attach the metal plates to the desired location. Ensure they are aligned with the magnets on the back of the light.
  4. Snap the light onto the attached metal plates.

Method 3: Screw Mounting

For a more permanent installation, use the provided screws and expansion anchors.

  1. Mark two holes at the mounting spot, spacing them to match the width of the light bar's mounting points.
  2. Drill holes at the marked spots. Insert the expansion anchors.
  3. Secure the metal plates with screws into the anchors.
