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 RGB 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 RGB LEDs to fail.

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)
1: To remove the tape residue from back of the strip apply
moderate amount WD-40, or Goo Gone, or a mixture of
warm water and lemon oil to the corner of a clean, dry
towel. Gently buff the area containing the adhesive residue
with small circular motion until it is completely removed.
2: From one side of the tape gently remove a few inches of the
backing. Attach the adhesive tape to the back of the soft
strip and apply moderate pressure to affix the tape. Continue
this step a few inches at the time until the entire adhesive
tape is attached to back of the soft strip.
3: Refer to the steps on 1 through 11 to reinstall the soft strip.
