- Electric drill with appropriate bits (only if using wall plugs/screws)
- Masking tape (to hold layout temporarily)
- Applications:
- Not specified — check the product manual or packaging for the exact app name and connectivity steps
Capabilities: modular hexagon panels, wall-mountable, ambient/decorative lighting, customisable layout and light output. Connectivity: not specified. Compatibility: not specified.
Setup steps (follow exactly and refer to the printed manual supplied with the product):
- Unpack and check contents: confirm you have every panel, edge connectors, any controller or power module, mounting hardware (adhesive pads and/or brackets and screws) and the printed manual. If anything is missing, stop and contact the seller before proceeding.
- Plan the layout: arrange panels on the floor or a flat surface in the pattern you want. Count connectors and any controller location(s). Decide where the power lead will reach an existing socket without excessive tension on the cable.
- Test-fit on the wall: use masking tape to temporarily hold each panel to the wall in the planned arrangement. Use a spirit level to keep lines straight. This lets you confirm spacing and final appearance before permanent fixing.
- Prepare the wall: clean the mounting area with an alcohol wipe and a lint-free cloth. Allow to dry fully. Avoid installing on freshly painted or delicate surfaces unless the manual states the adhesive is safe for them.
- Follow the manual for mounting method: if adhesive pads are supplied, remove backing and press each panel firmly to the wall for the time specified in the manual. If screws/brackets are supplied and you choose to use them, mark drill points with a pencil, drill pilot holes, insert wall plugs if required, attach brackets, then secure panels to brackets. Use screws only where the manual permits.
- Join panels using supplied connectors: connect adjacent panel edges using the supplied edge connectors or link cables. Ensure each connector is fully seated and any locking clip engages. Work methodically so connections remain accessible while mounting.
- Install controller/power module: position the controller or power module in the planned location. Route the data/power cable neatly along the wall or behind panels as directed in the manual. Do not force cables into sharp bends; avoid pinching when panels are pressed to the wall.
- Power connection: connect the panel cable to the supplied power module or adapter. Do not connect to mains power until every connector and cable is installed and secure. The product packaging/manual will state whether a mains adapter is included and any specific requirements. (If the manual specifies direct mains wiring or any connection to building wiring at high voltage, a trained electrician must perform that work.)
- Initial power-up and testing: once powered, follow the manual to perform an initial test — this may include a factory test pattern or built-in diagnostic. Confirm every panel lights and that no connectors are loose. If any panel fails to light, power off and recheck the connector seating and cable orientation before powering on again.
- App and control setup (if applicable): consult the manual for app installation and pairing instructions. Because connectivity is not specified for this listing, confirm the exact app name and pairing steps from the included documentation. Only follow the app pairing steps provided for this specific model.
- Final adjustment: press panels firmly to ensure adhesive contact after testing. Tidy any visible cables using the supplied cable clips or unobtrusive routing. Keep the controller and adapter accessible for firmware updates or resets.
- Maintenance and safety: use only the cables and power supply provided by the manufacturer. Keep panels dry and mounted according to the manual. If you notice unusual noise, smell or overheating, disconnect power and seek support from the manufacturer or seller.
Notes and troubleshooting:
- If connectivity or app name is not printed on the product or manual, do not attempt to pair or configure until you have the correct model information.
- For any installation that requires direct connection to building mains wiring, a trained electrician must perform the work.
- Do not cut or modify supplied cables; use only manufacturer-provided connectors and accessories.
