What happens in this clip
Carefully unroll the LED strip lights. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive strip, usually in sections as you go, and firmly press the LED strip onto the designated surface of the staircase. Ensure the strip is applied straight and evenly for a professional appearance. If the LED strip needs to turn corners, use appropriate connectors or carefully bend the strip, ensuring not to damage the LEDs or circuit board. For longer runs or sharp bends, soldering wires to jumper over gaps might be necessary, or specialized corner connectors can be used.
Goal: Mount LED strip lights securely onto the staircase
