- Test the Lights: Before final adhesion, briefly power on the lights using the remote or app to ensure they function correctly.
- Adhere the Strip: Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Carefully press the strip onto your desired surface, applying gentle pressure along its length. Avoid pressing directly on the LEDs.
- Secure the Controller: Position the controller box in a location where the IR remote sensor has a clear line of sight if you plan to use the remote.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DAYBETTER LED Strip Lights, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | Power connection issue, faulty adapter/controller. | Check all connections (strip to controller, adapter to controller, adapter to outlet). Ensure the power outlet is functional. Try a different outlet. |
| Remote control not working. | No line of sight, dead battery, remote too far. | Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the IR sensor on the controller box. Replace the remote battery. Move closer to the controller box. |
| App cannot connect to lights. | Bluetooth/Wi-Fi issue, incorrect network. | Ensure Bluetooth is on. Verify your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Restart the app and try pairing again. Unplug and replug the LED strip power to reset. |
| Lights show incorrect colors or sections are off. | Strip connection issue, damaged LEDs. | Check the connection between the strip and controller for proper alignment (arrows). If a section is permanently off, that part of the strip may be damaged. |
| Adhesive is not holding. | Improper surface preparation. | Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Use additional adhesive clips or strong double-sided tape for reinforcement. |
