✅ 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.
