What is the best layout configuration for your installation?

How will you run and conceal the wires to your LED tape
light?
□
Temporarily mounting the LED tape light using painter’s
tape allows you to experiment with tape light positioning
before permanent installation.

Things to consider before installing

Preparing the assembly location
NOTE:
Using painter’s tape or masking tape,
temporarily place the LED light strip into your desired
mounting position. Power on the LEDs to make sure
you are achieving the desired lighting effect before
removing the 3M paper backing for final installation.
□
Remove any surface dust from the area where you will be applying the LED tape light. A brush (not included) is recommended to
remove any surface dust.
□
Power the LED tape light and temporarily hold or tape into position with painter’s tape or masking tape - do not remove the 3M
paper backing.
□
Adjust the lighting to various angles and positions to get the desired level of illumination and lighting appearance. If the LEDs create
undesirable light spots on walls, or reflections, reposition the tape light strip farther away from surfaces or try a different mounting
angle.
□
Once you have determined your final mounting position, clean the surface to ensure the 3M self-adhesive backing will adhere
properly.
IMPORTANT:
Before removing the 3M paper
backing, it is important to test the LED strip in the
space you intend to light. Once the 3M paper backing
is removed and the lighting is fully installed, you
cannot reposition or move the LED tape light to another
location. The tape may not stick securely.
