4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Lichaser LED Backlight Sheets. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning installation.
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface where the LED sheets will be installed is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Plan Layout: Determine the desired layout for your LED sheets. The sheets are flexible and can be cut along designated lines to fit specific shapes or sizes.
- Connect LED Sheets: Use the provided connection cables to link multiple LED sheets. Ensure correct polarity (V+ to V+, V- to V-).
- Connect to Wi-Fi Controller: Connect the LED sheets to the Wi-Fi controller using the appropriate connection cables. The controller has multiple output ports for connecting several sheets.
- Connect Power Supply: Connect the Wi-Fi controller to a compatible 24V power supply (not included). The power supply should be sized according to the total wattage of the connected LED sheets.
- Secure Sheets: Peel off the adhesive backing from the LED sheets and firmly press them onto the desired surface. Use the included silicone cushions for additional support if needed.
- Power Calculation: To determine the required power supply wattage, use the formula: Power supply = (36W × number of panel lights) ÷ 0.8. This accounts for an 80% efficiency factor for the power supply.
