Step-by-step setup instructions

  • 1. Unpack and check contents: open the packaging and verify the light bar, any power adaptor or cable, mounting hardware and any quick start guide. If any items are missing, stop and contact the supplier. Do not proceed without the correct power accessory.
  • 2. Read the supplied manual: locate the quick start and safety information. Confirm how the fixture is powered and whether the manufacturer recommends adhesive or screw mounting. If the manual indicates a direct connection to mains (for example 240 V), have a trained electrician perform the final electrical connection.
  • 3. Choose the mounting location: select an indoor wall free from excessive heat and moisture. Check behind the wall for pipes or concealed wiring before drilling. Consider sight lines so the light bar provides the intended accent or ambient lighting without visible wiring where possible.
  • 4. Measure and mark: use the tape measure and spirit level to mark the mounting points accurately. If the kit includes a mounting bracket or template follow the manufacturer template exactly. Ensure the bar is level before making any holes or applying adhesive.
  • 5. Mounting method — adhesive: if the manufacturer supplies adhesive strips or specifies adhesive mounting, clean the wall surface with an isopropyl wipe, allow to dry, attach the adhesive to the light or bracket and press firmly for the time stated in the instructions. Do not rely on adhesive for heavy or uneven surfaces; use mechanical fixings if in doubt.
  • 6. Mounting method — mechanical fixings: if using screws and wall plugs, drill pilot holes at your marks, insert wall plugs suitable for the wall type, then attach the bracket or light with the screws provided. Tighten securely but avoid overtightening which can crack the housing.
  • 7. Connect power: identify the supplied power lead or adaptor. Plug the adaptor into the light and into a suitable socket. If the product requires a permanent mains connection and this is not supplied as a plug-in adaptor, do not attempt to hardwire it yourself; engage a qualified electrician.
  • 8. Power on and initial check: switch the light on and confirm the unit powers up. Look for any visible defects or flashing that are not described in the manual. If the light does not power, re-check connections and the adaptor; if still faulty, contact support.
  • 9. App and pairing (if applicable): open the manufacturer app indicated in the quick start guide. Create or sign in to an account if required. Follow the app steps to add a new device: typically this involves selecting the device type, enabling Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi on your phone, and following on-screen pairing prompts. If connectivity method is not stated in the manual, check the packaging or product label to determine whether Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi or another protocol is required.
  • 10. Configure zones and scenes: once paired, use the app to assign colours to individual addressable zones, set brightness and create dynamic effects or schedules. Save scenes and test transitions across the bar to confirm RGBIC zone control behaves as expected.
  • 11. Cable management and final checks: secure any exposed cables with clips or trunking. Re-check the mounting and app settings after 24 hours to ensure adhesives remain secure and there is no loosening of fixings.
  • 12. Safety and maintenance: follow the manufacturer guidance for cleaning and do not expose the fitting to liquids. If you detect electrical faults, switch off and isolate power and consult a qualified electrician or the supplier.

If any specification such as power rating, connectivity type or included mounting accessories is unclear from the packaging or manual, confirm with the supplier before installation. Do not assume voltage or wiring method; if a mains connection is required, it must be completed by a trained electrician.
