NOTE: The soft strip LEDs are rated for 40,000 hours when

using the aluminum heat sink tape (SS-HR-F).

NOTE: The adhesive tape of the aluminum heat sink needs to
be affixed on smooth clean surfaces (2" minimum). The
adhesiveness of the tape does not work well with porous,
textured, or unfinished wood surfaces, soft strip clips are
required (sold separately).

Clean the area thoroughly where LED soft strip will be

1:
installed. (Do not install it in an enclosed area)

2: For all surfaces other than aluminum, use the provided

aluminum heat sink tape (SS-HR-F) to avoid overheating
which may cause the LEDs to fail.

3: Remove the backing from the aluminum heat sink tape
(SS-HR-F) and firmly press it down where the LED soft
strip is going to be mounted.

NOTE: If relocating the installed soft strip, make sure that the
adhesive tape on back of the soft strip covers the entire strip. The
adhesive tape on back of the soft strip isolates the strip from the
conductive heat sinks. Damaged or inconsistent adhesive tape may
cause the contacts on the back of the strip to come in contact with
the conductive heat sink which will cause the strip to short and
burn. Call Edge Lighting to get replacement adhesive tape and
aluminum heat sink tape (SS-HR-F)
