Installation (continued)
4 Preparing the assembly location
□Power the LED tape lighting and temporarily hold or tape into position with painter’s tape or masking
tape – do not remove the 3M paper backing.
□Adjust the lighting to various angles and positions to get the desired level of illumination and lighting
appearance. If the LEDs create undesirable light spots on walls, or reections, reposition the tape light
strip farther aways from surfaces or try a different mounting angle.
□Once you have determined your nal mounting position, clean the surface to ensure the 3M self-adhesive
backing will adhere properly.
IMPORTANT: Before removing the 3M paper backing, it is important to test the LED strip in the space you
intend to light. Once the 3M paper backing is removed and the lighting is fully installed, you cannot reposition
or move the LED tape light to another location. The tape may not stick securely.
