Are the end caps included in the kit?

Can I use this kit in a bathroom?

While the kit is suitable for most indoor spaces, direct exposure to water should be avoided. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting

LED strip lights are not working after installation.

Check the power supply connection and ensure the LED strip is correctly connected to the power source. Verify the polarity.

Diffuser cover is difficult to snap into place.

Warm the cover slightly with a hairdryer to make it more flexible, then try snapping it into place.
