Installing LED strip lights is significantly easier than attempting to measure, cut, and wire a new light fixture for the home, but it's still important to learn how to install LED strip lights properly. Simply sticking the strip lights to the ceiling, wall, or cabinet, may be quick and easy, but without first measuring the length of the light strip or plotting out the installation area, the final product can end up looking like a mess.

Use this guide to learn how to install LED strip lights to customize the lighting in the bedroom, home office, or den.
Typically, LED strip lights use an adhesive backing for simple installation without the need for fasteners. However, if the target surface is rough, dirty, greasy, or uneven, this limits the contact between the adhesive and the target surface, which will reduce the strength of the connection. Before you begin, take some time to decide on the best location, then properly clean and dry the surface to prepare the area for the LED strip lights.
Also, it's recommended to plug in and test the LED strip lights before installing them, as well as cut or trim them to the right length. Check the manufacturer's product information to determine if the lights can be cut without damaging the product.

Make sure you have a clear vision of your project and know how you want the end result to look like. Plan where you want to install your driver and dimmer. It is recommended that your LED strip light is installed on a clean, flat surface using the 3M adhesive tape or mounting clips. Aluminum is preferred, as it will help dissipate the heat from the LEDs, ensuring a longer lifespan.
On a freshly cleaned surface, gently unroll the LED strip lights from the plastic reel and lay out all components:
Before peeling the tape or cutting the strip, make sure to complete a mock installation to test and turn on your lights. Connect your LEDs to your dimmer and power supply. Note: In this example, we are using a wireless dimmer and receiver.
The strips should light up. If they do not, please check your connections and make sure the polarity is matched from the power supply to the LED strip (positive to positive, negative to negative). There are markings on the strip to indicate polarity.
Hold the strips in place in a sample area that can best demonstrate your application. Verify that the chosen brightness and color temperature is perfect for your project. Remember, if they are not perfect, you can still return/exchange them at this point. After you have cut the strip light or installed it in place, we cannot accept the return as new.

Ask yourself once again:
Turn off the LEDs and power supply and disconnect them from the power source.
If you need to cut your LED strip light, first measure the length needed and only cut along the indicated cut marks with sharp scissors.
When installing connectors with the UltraBright Architectural Dynamic Tunable Strip Light (UB-AS-DYN), the UltraBright Accent Dynamic Tunable White (UB-AT1-DYN), or the Sienna Dim-to-Warm (UB-SNA-DW) you will need some more copper pad to work with. You need to cut both solder pads so that the piece to be attached to the connector has more surface area to insert into the connector head.
When installing separate segments of the LED strip together by soldering or using connectors, always make sure the polarity is matched from one strip to the next.
Test the strips again to make sure they all light up and are functioning properly before the final installation. Once you have verified all segments are working, you're ready to install them.
Thoroughly clean any surface where you will be attaching your LED strip lights. The adhesive backing is strong, but will not stick to surfaces if they are dirty or dusty.
Peel the cover of the 3M tape a few inches at a time while gently pressing the strip to the installation surface. Make sure the strip is secured on the surface.
Complete the connections and wiring between your power supply, dimmers, controllers, or connectors.
Power on the lights. Congratulations! You have light!
