LED Strip Installation Guide | 16.4ft & 32ft

How to install 16.4ft or 32ft LED Strips

For the best LED Lights, checkout our Affiliate:

Step 1: Pre-Planning
Make sure to measure the length of the area you want to place the lights on
We recommend having the lights go up your wall, but if you prefer to start the line of lights from the top of your wall, you will need LED strip clips to help hold up the power supply against the wall.

Step 2: Preparing the Surface
Use a dry rag or a dry paper towel to clean the area you'll be applying the lights onto. This will ensure the area is clean so the adhesive can hold on strongly.

Step 3: Revealing the Adhesive
Peel back the plastic on the back of the LED strip to reveal the adhesive.
Only peel about 2 feet ahead to make sure the rest of the LED strip doesn't catch debris

Step 4: Installation
Start applying the beginning of the strip against the wall.
We recommend staying as close to the corner where the wall and ceiling meet to make sure the lights stay in a straight line when applying them.
Having someone else hold the other end of the lights and peel the plastic from the adhesive will help make this process easier

Step 5: Make them Stick
Once fully installed, go back and press flat along the LED strip to make sure the adhesive strongly stays onto the wall
Step 6: Powering your Lights
Connect the Controller Receiver (white box) to the LED strip
The LED Strip and Controller Receiver (white box) both have arrows at the connection point. Make sure those arrows are facing each other so the lights receive the correct signals.
If needed. use a screw or LED strip clips to help hold up the power supply. The adhesive can be slightly pulled down if the power supply end is too heavy

Step 7: Powering your Lights (2)
Connect a power supply to the Controller Receiver (white box) and plug it into the closest socket
If you need a power supply, there are a couple options which you can use. Click here to view all the powering options for your lights

Step 8: Check your Controller
Make sure you've purchased a battery at your closest retailer. The Remote uses a CR2025 battery.
Once you've installed the battery, check the remote by pointing it at the Remote Receiver.
If nothing happened, please check that the battery was not inserted upside down. Try flipping it over and check if it works
You can check if the controller is working also by using your phone's camera. If you open your camera app, point the controller at your camera. A working controller will have a light when you watch it through your camera

This was really helpful thanks!! My only advice to everyone is MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT SIZE!! and... DON'T PLUG IN THE LIGHTS WHILE THEY ARE ROLLED UP!!

Hey, I was wondering if you could make a video or explain to me how to cut a strip of the LED lights and connect that strip so it could still function, I’m kind of confused on the cutting the LED lights, if you could explain that would be real helpful.
