How to hang led strip lights without adhesive.

They can be cut to specific lengths using just a pair of scissors along the cutlines located every 1 2 inches. Our led strip lights come with a self adhesive tape backing from 3m. The other factor that needs to be taken into consideration is that sometimes lighting strips can be quite long. Rough surfaces or too many grooves will limit the contact between the surface and the 3m tape backing.

Check the product label to see how many watts per 1 ft 0 30 m the lighting uses. As the title suggests i have installed 8 lots of led gel strips for under cupboards look great problem is they don t stick the so called 3m adhesive backing is crap i bought them from a company that sounds like a pizza restaurant but sells led s you know the one i mean when i contacted them they told me to send them back they have been cut and soldered etc so will be a right ball ache. Each led light strip consumes a specific amount of wattage or electrical power. Then multiply the watts by the total distance of the strip you plan on installing.

Before installing your lights clean the surface where you ll hang them with a window cleaning solution or a mixture of vinegar and warm water. An led strip light is typically half an inch 10 12 mm in width and up to 16 feet 5 meters or more in length. A cleaning agent such as methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol may be useful but allow time to dry. If you want to install led light strips in your car make sure to purchase strips that plug into the cigarette lighter so you don t have wire them directly to the fuse box.

It depends on how long the strip is. Determine the maximum power consumption of the led strips. Led potting normally requires clear adhesive with as close to 100 light transmittance as possible with excellent optical properties as well as good resistance to wear and tear weathering water resistance and sunlight aging. Make sure to firstly clean the surface that the led strips will be mounted onto from all dust water moisture grease or otherwise.
