Measure & Trim to Size (If desired)

- NOTE:
- Cutting anywhere else will permanently damage the strip.
- WARNING!
- Do not bend near LEDs.
- Do not bend more than 90°.

  Prep the Surface & Install Your Strip

- Use the cleaning wipe to remove dust.
- NOTE: Make sure the surface is dry & free of dirt, dust and oils.
- For best results, tape the strip in temperatures above 50°F/10°C.
- Working in 6-inch sections, peel off the adhesive backing.
- Stick to the surface, 6 inches at a time, pressing and holding each section for 10 seconds.
- NOTE: Adhesive may damage walls or painted surfaces if removed. The adhesive is single-use, so don’t peel lights and try to re-stick to a wall. You will need to use double-sided tape if re-application is needed.
