How to install and use LED strip lights. Here are the steps:

1. Preparation: Determine where you want to install the LED strip lights and measure the length needed. Ensure you have a power source nearby.

2. Clean the surface: Make sure the installation surface is clean and dry to ensure good adhesion.

3. Connect the power supply: Depending on the type of LED strip lights, you may need to connect a power supply or use a compatible LED controller.

4. Cut or extend: If needed, cut the LED strip lights along the designated cut lines. If you need to extend the strip, use solderless connectors or soldering techniques.

5. Peel and stick: Remove the adhesive backing from the LED strip lights and firmly press them onto the desired surface. Ensure the strip is straight and aligned properly.

6. Power on: Connect the power supply to an outlet and switch it on. The LED strip lights should illuminate.

7. Customize the lighting: If your LED strip lights have color-changing or dimming capabilities, use the provided remote control or controller to adjust the settings according to your preference.

8. Mounting options (optional): If necessary, use additional mounting clips, brackets, or adhesive clips to secure the strip lights in place.

Please note that these instructions are general, and the specific instructions may vary depending on the model and features of your Emitever LED strip lights. It's recommended to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or user manual for detailed guidance.

Hi Robert, yes, you can use one transformer for three separate LED runs, but you need to consider the total power requirements and ensure the transformer can handle the combined load.

Take a look at my simple diagram below for an example of how you could possibly achieve this.
For a single transformer:

For a single switch:

Hope this helps!

Can you use one transformer for 3 separate led runs? Two of the runs would be about 25 ft, and the third would be 23 ft. Or, would I need a separate transformer for each? If using a separate transformer, is there a way to have the 3 runs on a single switch?
