Connect LED strip to power supply

This picture shows how to connect a LED strip to a power supply PLC (picture 1). The red wire must be connected to the positive polarity (+) and the black wire to the negative one (-).



LED strip cutting
How do we cut LED strips? Our lED strips can be cut directly down the given cut line by just using a pair of scissors.



How to correctly install LED strips
The great majority of our LED strips need to be installed on aluminium profiles to dissipate heat.
Before LED strip installation it is important to clean accurately the aluminium surface. For this purpose it is better to use isopropyl alcohol that does not damage the double-sided tape of the strip (DO NOT USE ACETONE). Install at room temperature higher than 15 degrees for a better adhesion of the double-sided tape.
