- Cleaning cloth
- Scissors (if trimming is necessary)

Preparation Before Installation
Ensure the surface under your cabinets is clean and dry. Use a cleaning cloth to remove dust, grease, or any debris that could affect adhesion. Measure the length of the area where you plan to install the light strips to determine if trimming is necessary.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Plan Your Layout
Decide the exact placement of the light strips. Consider the power source location and how the wires will be routed for a clean look.
Step 2: Measure and Trim
Use your measuring tape to determine the length needed. If necessary, trim the light strips carefully at the designated cutting points, which are usually marked on the strip.
Step 3: Clean the Surface
Wipe the underside of the cabinet with a clean cloth to ensure a dust-free surface for optimal adhesion.
Step 4: Attach the Light Strips
Peel off the adhesive backing and press the light strip firmly onto the cleaned surface. Use adhesive clips or mounting brackets if additional support is needed, especially in areas with uneven surfaces.
Step 5: Connect and Power
Connect the light strip to the controller and then to the power adapter. Plug into a nearby outlet, ensuring the wires are neatly routed to avoid tripping hazards or damage.
Final Checks and Usage
Turn on the lights using the controller to verify proper installation. Adjust the position if necessary. Explore different color and lighting modes to customize your ambiance.
Additional Tips
- Use extension cords or connectors for longer runs.
- Avoid placing the light strips in areas exposed to water unless they are waterproof.
- Regularly clean the surface to maintain adhesion and appearance.
- Follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions during installation.
