Only cut on the marked lines.
Smart+ Pro COB Lightstrip & Sensors
Setup, Pairing & Sensor Tips
1. Customize Your Lightstrip Length
Cut for shorter. Extend for longer. Keep it clean and even.
Option B
Extend for Longer
To extend your lightstrip, simply connect the head of the extension (sold separately) to the end of your existing lightstrip. It’s quick and effortless.
Pro Tip: For optimal performance, keep the total length within 32.8 ft (10 m). Beyond this, you may notice a slight brightness variation between the start and end of the strip.
2. How to Install
Follow these 4 steps. Clean setup, solid hold.
Step 1
Choose Your Clip Type
Pick the option that matches your wall surface.
Nano Adhesive Clip
Best for flat, smooth surfaces (tile, glass, metal, painted walls).
Note: removing tape may lift paint.
Drill Clip
Best for textured surfaces or extra secure installs.
Tip: use anchors if you’re drilling into drywall.

Step 2
Mark the Clips
Measure the strip and mark where you’ll place the clips. Space clips evenly — about 9.8" (25 cm) apart.
Keeps the strip even and prevents sagging.
Pro Tip
Add the nano stickers (included) between the clips to help the lightstrip lay flat against the wall.
Step 3
Install the Clips
Choose your install method below — then snap the strip in.
Nano Adhesive
Clean surface, stick clips, then wait 2 hours.
Drill
Drill holes and screw clips in place.
Then snap the strip into the clips — it should click when secure.
Step 4
Connect to Power
Connect the strip to the controller, then plug the controller into power. Once it’s on, you’re ready to set your scene.
Tip: If you’re extending strips, double-check connectors are fully seated (no gaps).
