[Step-by-Step Guide] How to Install LED Strip Lights on Ceiling?

For those that are looking to add a bit of ambiance to their home or just a specific room, LED lighting is a great, cost-effective way to achieve it. Typically the most common location to place LED lights is the ceiling. It may seem daunting, from what type of LED lighting to choose, to how to place and install it. However, no worries, as we're going to help you overcome this headache with our step-by-step guide on the installation of LED strip lights on ceiling areas.

When purchasing your LED lights, let's look at some things to consider so that you get the best option for your home.

Control Options – This has become a common feature in LED lighting which allows you to change various settings via a remote, mobile application, or even voice control. Double check this aspect beforehand and choose the LED strip lights with the control options you like.

Length – Make sure you do a proper measure of the area that you want to cover so that you are able to buy a long enough strip. Otherwise, it could be quite troublesome when you find the strip lights are way too short during the installation process.

Color and Brightness – In the past, it was rare to find strip lights with a variety of color options or brightness settings, but these days it's a common feature. You should always choose strip lights with the color you prefer and the brightness suitable for your needs.

When looking at how to install LED strip lights on ceiling areas, you need to do some planning beforehand. First, decide exactly where the LED strip lights are going to be laid out.

Next, place some type of marker so you are able to visualize what it could look like when you finish the installation. Then you are supposed to take accurate measurements to ensure that you have enough length of LED strip lights. This is also the time to start cutting the strip to the appropriate size and length. On the other hand, you don't always have to cut the strips, as you can also wrap them around corners.

Now that you’ve prepared the space and measured out the LED strips, you need to properly clean the surface where you’re going to install the LED strip lights. This helps to remove any debris that may get in the way, especially for the underlying adhesive.

Now it’s time to peel the adhesive tape from the back of the LED strip lights and place them on the ceiling. Make sure to press down throughout the LED strip to ensure that the adhesive creates a strong bond with the ceiling itself.

If you didn't cut the strip lights into the right size before and preferred to install the LED strips with the complete roll of LED strips, now is another chance for you to trim and cut excess LED lights to ensure a proper fit.

The time to power your creation has come, which means giving those LED strip lights a power source. This can come in the form of a power bank, a power adapter, or even a USB port. You can also start to set up your application and sync the application with the LED lights. Make sure to test out functions such as turning the lights on and off, adjusting the brightness, and changing the colors.

Once everything is working properly, from all the LED lights functioning to the app doing its job, it's all about customizing everything to your preferences, then sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the ambiance.

It’s necessary to be careful when it comes to cutting your LED strip lights. It's best done with a pair of scissors or a sharp knife. There should be cut lines on the strip itself, and that's where the cut should happen. If you don't cut on the right spot, you'll damage that area of the LED lights.

You may want to do the opposite and connect LED strip lights. First, ensure that you find pieces that are of your desired length when connected. Then look for the connection points on the strip. Some LED lights may come with simple connectors, while others need a bit of soldering as you're reconnecting the wires.
