How to install LED light strips
In fact, the installation and use of LED light strips are very convenient, and you can make very beautiful effects by yourself. The following will tell you about the main installation and use methods of LED light strips.
1. Indoor installation: When the LED strip is used for indoor decoration, it is very simple to install because it does not have to withstand wind and rain. Take a certain brand of LED light strips as an example, the back of each LED light strip is affixed with self-adhesive 3M double-sided tape. When installing, you can directly tear off the sticker on the surface of the 3M double-sided tape, and then fix the light strip on the surface to be installed. place, just press it flat with your hands. As for some places that need corners or are long, what should I do? Very simple, the LED light strip is a circuit structure composed of 3 LEDs in series and parallel, and every 3 LEDs can be cut off and used alone.
2. Outdoor installation: The outdoor installation of the LED light strip will withstand wind and rain. If it is fixed with 3M glue, the 3M glue will be reduced over time and the LED light strip will fall off. Outdoor installation is often fixed with card slots. Where it needs to be cut and connected, the method is the same as that of indoor installation, except that it needs to be equipped with waterproof glue to consolidate the waterproof effect of the connection point.
3. Pay attention to the connection distance of LED strips: Generally speaking, the longest connection distance of 3528 series LED strips is 20 meters, and the longest connection distance of 5050 series LED strips is 15 meters. Meter. If the connection distance is exceeded, the LED light strip will easily heat up, which will affect the service life of the LED light strip during use. Therefore, the installation must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer, and the LED light strip should not be overloaded.
Is it very easy to install and use LED strips? However, there is still a friendly reminder: everyone must pay attention to electrical safety when installing the light strip, and it can only be carried out in the case of a power failure.

The installation method steps of the light strip
1. Cut the corresponding length. Generally, the light strips we directly buy are all coiled up. This is why we need to cut the relevant lengths according to our actual use needs. When cutting, we should pay attention to cutting according to the termination point.
2. After cutting the length of the light strip, we insert the thread needle of the light strip into the place where there is no patch at one end of the light strip.
3. Connect the needle with the plug of the light strip, and the plug can be powered on at this time, but it should be noted that we need to check the condition of the access point again before inserting it. There must be no water spots.
4. After plugging in, if the light strip glows normally, on the one hand, it means that our installation steps are correct, and on the other hand, it also means that the light strip itself has no problem.
Precautions for installation of LED strips
1. Do not turn on the power when the whole roll of strips is not detached from the package or piled up Light up the LED strip.
2. When the light strip needs to be cut according to the on-site installation length, the light strip can only be cut at the place marked with scissors, otherwise one of the units will not light up. Generally, the length of each unit is 1.5-2 Meter.
3. When connecting the power supply or connecting two light strips in series, first bend the head of the colorful light to the left and right so that the wires in the light strip are exposed by about 2-3mm. Leave burrs and connect with male pins to avoid short circuits.
4. Only the LED strips with the same specifications and voltage can be connected in series, and the total length of the series connection cannot exceed the maximum allowable length.
5. When the light strips are connected in series with each other, each time a section is connected, that is, a section of the test light is on, so as to find out in time whether the positive and negative poles are connected incorrectly and whether the light emission direction of each section of the light strip is consistent.
6. The end of the light strip must be covered with a PVC tail plug, and after tying it tightly with an entrainment tape, use neutral glass glue to seal the periphery of the interface to ensure safety.
7. Because the LED has unidirectional conductivity, if you use a power cord with an AC/DC converter, you should conduct a power-on test after the power connection is completed to confirm that the positive and negative poles are correctly connected before switching on. use.
