LED INSERTION FOR IN-FIELD ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
STRIP IN EXTRUSION
Using a 50/50 alcohol mix throughly clean, the surface of the extrusion and the multi-tray surface. Allow time to dry (about 5 minutes).
Peel back 0.5″ of the VHB tape’s protective film on one end of LED and use firm pressure to adhere it to the desired surface, avoiding air bubbles. Continue peeling the film and adhering the strip in small sections until the entire length is installed.
Flat Lenses: Apply uniform pressure until the extrusion and lens snap securely together.
Optical Lenses: Starting from one end of the extrusion, slide the lens into the grooved lip of the extrusion until secured in place.
Add glue inside the end cap and glue around edges to secure end cap in place. Do not allow glue to come in contact with LED.
SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: VHB ADHESIVE MOUNT
SURFACE PREPARATION
Temperature and environmental concerns:
- Ideal application environment is 70-100ºF in 50% humidity or less.
- Minimum application temperature: 50ºF
- This temperature and humidity should be maintained for 72 hours after application for maximum bonding.
For porous materials (Wood, Brick, Concrete etc.) apply two layers of paint or primer to the surface. This will help create a better bonding surface for these materials. These can be purchased from a local hardware store.
a. Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean surface area where LED will be installed. Allow 5 minutes to dry.
b. Peel back 0.5″ of the VHB tape’s protective film on one end of LED and use firm pressure to adhere it to the desired surface, avoiding air bubbles. Continue peeling the film and adhering the strip in small sections until the entire length is installed.
