Installing LED lights can be fun and easy to do when working on a flat surface, but what about when you need to go around a corner? This can be a bit tricky as the LED strip light can actually break if care is not taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LED lights are great for accent lighting and task lighting. They are also very versatile because they can be cut to fit any space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes them perfect for use in places where other types of lights would not be able to go, such as under cabinets, in tight spaces, and around corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When installing LED lights around a corner, there are a few methods you can use to get this done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first method is to use an LED light strip that is pre-bent. This is the method I will recommend for anyone who does not want to risk ruining their LED strip lights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are available in a variety of shapes, such as L-shaped, U-shaped, and J-shaped. This makes it easy to install them around corners without having to worry about breaking the strips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find these online or at your local hardware store. This method is very simple as all you need to do is peel off the adhesive backing and stick it onto the surface and use the connectors provided to join the two pieces together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to use this method, make sure that you get the correct size for your needs, as they are not all created equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure that you clean the surface before applying the strip lights to get the best possible bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The advantages to using pre-bent LED strip lights<\/a> are that they are very easy to install, there is no risk of breaking them, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The disadvantages are that they can be more expensive than regular LED strip lights, and you may not be able to find the exact shape or size that you need for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the most common method used to install LED strip lights<\/a> around a corner. This method works best on LED strip lights that do not have waterproofing or a silicone seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just to be upfront with you, I would only recommend using this method on high-quality LED strip lights, and poor-quality LED light strips tend to break easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to pleat the LED strip lights a couple of times to create the perfect angle that goes around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, you would have to remove some of the chips on the LED strip lights, so it is easier to pleat or fold them. You can remove the chips by using a soldering iron to set them free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use a sharp knife or Exacto knife to set it free from the chips free from the light strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The upside to this method is that it is very easy to use, but you also have to be very careful as a lot of your LED lights can stop working. You should only try this on very good quality LED strip lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This method is best used when you have a waterproof LED strip light, and it can also be used on any other type of LED strip light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
