Connect Power and Test the Lighting
At 0:03 in
LED lighting is a nice touch 😤
What happens here
Once all LED strips are securely installed in their channels, proceed to connect them to the appropriate low-voltage LED driver or transformer. Most outdoor LED strips require a 12V or 24V DC power supply. Ensure all electrical connections are secure, watertight, and properly insulated, especially considering the outdoor environment. It is crucial to use outdoor-rated connectors and follow all local electrical codes. After all connections are made, turn on the power to test the newly installed lighting. Verify that all segments of the LED strips illuminate correctly and provide the desired ambient light.
Goal: Ensure the installed LED lighting is functional and properly powered.
