2. Permanent Outdoor Lighting Installation Steps
Determine the Position
We need to plan the placement of lights according to the shape of the house. If you want to install them exactly according to the preset positions, you can also use a marker to maximize the expected effect.
Unboxing and Installation
First, after receiving the lights, connect the fixtures to the power supply and check if the Permanent Outdoor Lights power is functioning properly. This step prevents discovering other issues with the lights after the installation is complete.
Most Permanent Outdoor Lights have adhesive on the back. Clean and wipe the wall or eaves where you plan to install them to prevent the lights from falling off.
Next, install the lights by peeling off the adhesive backing, sticking the lights onto the surface, and pressing by hand for a few seconds. This step ensures the Permanent Outdoor Lights are more securely fixed. Then, tighten the screws to make sure the lights won’t fall.
Use a waterproof connector to connect the string lights to the extension cord, ensuring that the light connection is not easily exposed to water, then screw on the cap.
Once the installation is complete, connect the power, and you will clearly see the outdoor lighting effect.
