Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and durability of your Gefolly outdoor lights. Follow these steps carefully:
- Surface Preparation: Clean the installation surface thoroughly with a cloth or tissue. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding to ensure optimal adhesion.
- Positioning: For an optimal wall-washing effect, install the light strip 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) away from the wall surface. Use the provided positioning card to maintain consistent spacing.
- Adhesive Application: Remove the VHB adhesive backing from each light module. Press each light firmly against the cleaned surface for at least 5 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
- Secure Mounting: While adhesive provides initial hold, it is highly recommended to use the provided screws and anchors for permanent and long-term secure mounting, especially in areas exposed to harsh weather. Each light module has a designated screw hole.
- Connecting Light Strips: Connect individual light strips using the waterproof connectors. Ensure all connections are securely fastened to prevent water ingress. Do not overstretch the wires between lights; allow for slight flexibility.
- Power Connection: Connect the control box to the power adapter, then connect the entire light strip assembly to the control box. Plug the power adapter into a suitable outdoor power outlet.
- Testing: Before final placement, plug in the power supply and confirm that each light strip is working properly.
