LED Strip Light Installation Guide | Brite

Your Ultimate LED Strip Lights Installation Guide

This LED strip lights installation guide helps you plan lighting for kitchens, lounges and outdoor entertainment spaces. Start by choosing your strip type, then match the power requirements and accessories before positioning the lights.

At Brite Lighting & Electrical, we offer LED strip lights and accessories for practical and decorative projects. Our range includes single-colour, RGB, and neon-style options, available in different voltages and lengths.

Choose Your LED Strip Type

Single-colour strips provide consistent illumination, while RGB strip lights offer colour changes for different moods. The type of strip lights you need depends on where you want to install them and what effect you want in that room. Single-colour strips create a more subdued, romantic atmosphere, while RGB strips add a fun, festive feel. 

Gather the Right Accessories

The right accessories for your LED strip lights will simplify installation and leave a neater finish. Our expert sales team will help guide you to the right accessories to make sure you have everything you need for the installation.  

From strip light mounting clips, tunnels, and COB connector wires to LED strip light remotes, we have everything you need to create the perfect setting in your home. 

Plan Your Lighting Room by Room

In the kitchen, strips fitted under the wall-mounted cabinets light the worktop. In the lounge, a strip behind the television gives soft backlighting. For patios and braai areas, choose strips and accessories made for outdoor use.

For bedroom or ceiling projects, discuss the proposed layout with our team before selecting a strip and its connections. Keep in mind the room size, where you plan to place the lights, and the effect you want; this information will allow us to advise you best. 

Measure, Prepare, and Check Connections

Before you start with the installation of your strip lights, run through the following steps to ensure an easy installation: 

• Measure the installation area and choose a length that limits cutting and joining. 

• Clean the mounting surface before applying adhesive-backed strips. 

• Check the power requirements before connecting to a driver or power supply and protect outdoor connections against moisture.

Select Your Controller and Avoid Mismatches

Brite lists an RGB 220V remote/controller. Test the RGB controller and remote functions before final positioning. Avoid assuming that every strip uses the same controller, connector or power arrangement; check the product specifications first or ask one of our sales team members for guidance.
