Once the aluminum channels are securely mounted, it's time to install the LED strips. Peel the protective backing from the adhesive side of the LED tape. Carefully align the LED strip within the aluminum channel, starting from one end and pressing it firmly into place along the entire length. Ensure the strip is straight and adheres well to the channel. The LED strips often come in pre-cut lengths (e.g., 2 inches, 12 inches, 5 feet) with pre-attached connectors to simplify installation.
