Installation Instructions
SPECIALTY LIGHTING - HIGH OUTPUT LED TAPE LIGHT
READ PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION
ALWAYS TURN OFF MAIN POWER BEFORE INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICIAN
Installation Instructions:
1. Decide where you want to place the LED tape light.
2. The tape light has a 3M™ self-adhesive backing, ensure the surface area that you intend to adhere the tape light to is clean and dry. Simply
remove the backing strip and carefully lay the tape light in place working from one end to the other ensuring there are no raised sections.
3. Using a lint-free cloth gently press between the LEDs on the tape to remove any air bubbles and activate the adhesive, make sure you do
not press on the LEDs themselves as this could damage the joint.
