Turn your TV back around and test it out!ĭifferent TVs have different ways that the USB panels work – some need the TV to be on and some do not. I did 2 strips across the horizontal width of my TV and one each vertically on the sides. Clockwise or counter clockwise, doesn’t matter, it just needs to be continuous.Īdd the corner connecting piece, then peel and stick the next strip. Remember to have all of the arrows on your strips going in the same direction. I put our strips 1-2 inches in from the edge of the TV. Peel the backing off of the first strip and gently press it into place. I went ahead and added the connector and plugged it in to be sure. STEP 4: PEEL & STICKīe sure to start in a spot so that your first piece can reach the USB port. The size of your TV might effect the options, too. The kit came with a booklet with examples, but basically you can do all four sides, 3 sides, or sort of zig zag. STEP 3: DESIGN YOUR LIGHTINGĭecide on the layout of your lighting.
Pull gently on either side and the strip will separate. Look closely – approximately 1/4 of the way there’s a small break in the backing and a thickening of the strip. The instructions on the LED lighting say that you recieve 4 LED strips but it appears to be only one strip. This step of the process was a little unclear to me at first and so I wanted to call it out. The sticker will stick best if it’s clean! STEP 2: SEPARATE THE LED STRIP Use a cloth or towel to wipe down the back to remove any dust.
I hope that this guide helps you! STEP 1: PREPARE THE TV This lighting was easy to install, but I found the included instructions to be lacking.

I opted to stick to the inexpensive option (Phillips is about 5x the cost, $80 vs $15) but if you are serious about building a home theater or want your bias lighting on a timer, it could be worth it to you!
