Dos

1. Clean the Surface Before Installation
   Ensure the surface is dust-free and dry before sticking the LED strip.

2. Cut Only at Marked Points
   Cut the strip only where designated (usually with a scissors icon on the strip).

3. Use the Correct Power Supply
   Match the LED voltage and amperage to the power adapter for safety and longevity.

4. Use Connectors or Solder Carefully
   Use proper connectors or clean soldering for secure connections.

5. Measure Twice, Stick Once
   Plan your layout to avoid mistakes or strip waste.

6. Use a Dimmer or Controller
   Pair with a compatible dimmer or RGB controller for best functionality.

7. Check for Proper Ventilation
   Allow airflow to avoid overheating, especially in enclosed areas.

Don’ts

1. Don’t Overload the Power Supply
   Avoid connecting too many strips to one power source.

2. Don’t Use Indoors Outdoors (Unless Waterproof)
   Only use waterproof-rated LED strips outside or in wet locations.

3. Don’t Bend Sharply
   Avoid sharp bends; use flexible corners or connectors.

4. Don’t Stick to Dusty or Uneven Surfaces
   Poor adhesion leads to strips falling off.

5. Don’t Install While Powered On
   Always power off before handling or installing the strips.

6. Don’t Expose to Direct Sunlight
   UV rays can degrade non-UV-resistant strips and adhesives.

7. Don’t Mix Voltages or Brands Without Checking Compatibility
   Different LED strips and accessories may not be cross-compatible.
