Avoid Bending on LED Beads

The bend should be avoided just in the position of the LED components, so as not to damage the product and affect the life of the product.

Avoid Sharp Turns

Carefully roll the Light Strip into a clover or use a gentle hill when making 90° turns like those need behind a TV. Sharp bends can damage your Light Strip.

Avoid Sharp Corners

Use gentle weeps when bending Light Strip around corners and avoid creases as they may cause damage.

Step 1. Choose Location

Choose a dry, clean, and smooth surface. Wipe off the dust. Otherwise, the Light Strip will be easily fall off.

Note: Choose a location that avoids static and stays away from water splashing.
