You will need an LED strip light, an AC/DC power supply, a dimmer or controller, (optional) solderless connectors, a mounting channel (optional but recommended), pliers, scissors, a wire stripper, and a small screwdriver. 4:30 Step 1 - Do a Mock Installation Roll out your LED strip light and inspect for any defects. Repeat this process with the other components. Connect your LEDs to your dimmer and power supply and make sure everything works. Be careful and confirm the polarity is matched correctly through the setup. Always start from the indicators in the solder pads and make sure that every wire going out of the strip light goes into the associated indicator in the controller. Turn the power “on”. Using your controller, go through all of the colors and verify that the color you select in your controller matches the output. If not, you might have some wires crossed. 7:30 Step 2 - Measure and Cut If you need to cut your LED strip light, measure the length needed and only cut along the indicated cut marks with sharp scissors. Follow the installation guide that comes with your reel and the specific instructions. 8:40 Step 3 - Attach Solderless Connectors Make sure the polarity matches throughout the setup and all wires coming out from the strip go to their associated marking on the controller, regardless of the wire color. Remove 1/2“ of the tape cover and adhesive backing, inserting the LED strip light in the connector facing upwards (towards the translucent top). Use pliers to close until you hear a click. 10:20 Step 4 - Connect Controller and Power Supply Connect everything as shown in the previous steps and turn on the power. Everything should be working correctly, and you should see the colors that you select on your controller. 11:24 Step 5 - Attach to Mounting Channel or Surface Clean the non-porous surface where the strip is going to be attached. If you are using an aluminum channel, mount the channel first following the channel’s installation instructions. Pull off the backing of the adhesive 2 inches at a time as you stick and press every segment to the desired surface whether it is a wall, or inside the mounting channel. Finally, put the channel’s cover in place, start at one end and press it onto the other.
