5. Prepare the Smart Strip for Setup
Measure the area where you'd like to place your smart strip and ensure the surface is clean and dry. If you have multiple strips, it's recommended you lay them out and connect them together before cutting or applying them to the surface. If you are using one meter extensions they need to come first, before the two meter main strips.
Once you are comfortable as to how you are going to install your strip, carefully remove the plastic film backing on the back of the strip to reveal the adhesive and place firmly on the surface where you are installing the strip. Use the provided brackets to help hold the strip in place if the strip doesn't stick well on it's own.
With the strip in place, ensure it is not connected to the power supply yet and trim any excess strip at the far end as needed. Once cut, you can no longer use the excess strip.
Connect the controller to the plug, the light strip to the controller, and connect the plug to your wall socket.
The strip should illuminate through a red, green, blue, then back to white sequence indicating it is ready for pairing.If you are using more than two extensions on your strip, the colors may not reach the far end of your strip in this power on sequence. But don't worry, once you set the length in the ilumi app all colors will work fine.
