Tools and Materials Needed

  1. 110V 2835 276D Flexible Strip Light
  2. Power Source
  3. Mounting Clips (if necessary)
  4. Wire Strippers
  5. Electrical Tape
  6. Measuring Tape
  7. Scissors (for cutting strip light)
  8. Screwdriver
  9. Drill (optional, for mounting)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Measure the Area: Use a measuring tape to determine the length of the area where you plan to install the flexible strip light. Make sure to account for any bends or turns.
  2. Cut the Strip Light: If the strip is longer than needed, use scissors to cut it at the designated cutting marks. Ensure you only cut when the strip is unplugged.
  3. Prepare the Surface: Clean the surface where you’ll be attaching the strip light. Removing dust and grease will help the adhesive stick better.
  4. Attach Mounting Clips (if necessary): If the installation requires additional support, use the drill and screws to attach the mounting clips at equal intervals along the measured area.
  5. Connect to Power: Identify or install the power source where you will plug the strip light. Ensure that it complies with the strip light’s voltage requirements (110V).
  6. Strip Wire Ends (if needed): If your strip light has bare wire ends for connection, use wire strippers to expose about half an inch of wire for a solid connection.
  7. Connect the Strip Light: Connect the wire ends of the light strip to the power source. Typically, black connects to black (positive) and white connects to white (negative). Use electrical tape to ensure a secure connection.
  8. Test the Light: Before securing everything in place, plug in the power source and turn on the light. Check to see if the entire strip lights up as expected.
  9. Secure the Light Strip: If everything is functioning correctly, carefully peel off the adhesive backing on the strip and press it firmly against the surface. If using mounting clips, attach them to secure the strip further.
  10. Final Checks: Make sure that all electrical connections are tight and that there are no exposed wires. Tuck away any loose wires to prevent them from getting damaged or creating hazards.

Safety Precautions

  1. Always ensure that the power source is off before starting installation.
  2. Wear safety goggles when using tools like drills and scissors.
  3. Check for any local electrical codes or regulations before installation.
  4. Do not exceed the maximum allowable length of the strip light, as it may cause overheating.

Maintenance Tips

  1. Regularly check for any damaged sections of the strip light.
  2. Dust the strip with a soft cloth to keep it clean.
  3. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the adhesive or the light itself.
