avoidbendsandtwistsofthestripbecausethiscan
damage the conductive tracks and welding of smd
LEDs on the strip, thus compromising the good

tapefromtheadhesiveatthebackofthestrip.Once
theadhesivehasbeenfixed,removingthestripwill
result in a significant loss of adhesive strength. To
ensure excellent adhesion, make sure that the
mounting surface is smooth, nonporous, flat, dry
andclean,freefromoilorsiliconecoatingsordust.
The fixing surface must be intact. We recommend
usingdegreasingproductsbeforemountingtogeta
better result. A clean surface also guarantees a
good thermal dissipation of the strip that will be
applied.
It is advisable to always apply the LED strip on
aluminumprofilesofadequatedissipatingpower,so
as to effectively remove the heat produced by the
stripandensurealonglifeoftheLEDs.
