6. Specifications

7. Troubleshooting

• Lights not turning on:
  Ensure all connections are secure, the power adapter is plugged in, and the power outlet is functional. Check if the controller is properly connected.
• App connectivity issues (Google Sync buggy):
  Verify your mobile device is connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network (5 GHz is not supported). Restart the app and the lighting controller. Check for app updates. If issues persist, try re-pairing the device in the 'Surplife' app.
• Weak adhesive, lights falling:
  Ensure the installation surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before applying the strips. For porous or uneven surfaces, or if the adhesive weakens over time, consider using additional mounting clips or a stronger adhesive suitable for your wall material.
• Remote control not working:
  Check the battery in the remote control and replace if necessary (1 C battery required). Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the controller.
• Lights are too narrow for slat wall opening:
  If the LED strips are narrower than your slat wall grooves, they may not fit snugly. Consider using thin shims or spacers on one side to secure them, or explore alternative mounting methods that do not rely solely on the width of the strip.
• Cable lengths are too short:
  Plan your layout carefully to minimize cable length requirements. If necessary, consider purchasing compatible extension cables (check with the manufacturer for recommended accessories) or repositioning the controller closer to the strips.
