Step 4 · Mount LED Strips

Peel back a small section of the adhesive backing from the end of an LED strip. Carefully align the strip with your pencil marks on the riser. Press the strip firmly onto the surface, working from the starting point outwards and gradually peeling off the rest of the backing as you go. Ensure the strip is straight and lies flat against the riser. Repeat this process for all risers. For corners or bends, you may need to use specialized LED strip connectors or carefully bend the strip if it's a flexible type, though bending across the circuit board is generally not recommended. If the adhesive is not strong enough, consider using additional mounting clips or a suitable adhesive.
