1. Clean mounting surface (groove) of dust and residue.

2. Apply all purpose caulking/adhesive

3. Install assembled fixture

Mounting Method #2 (Counter-Sunk Screws)

1. Screw Aluminum housing into cavity (counter-sink screws so LED strip has flat surface to install onto.

Cutting

To cut your aluminum profiles and make your lighting fixtures a custom length, simply snap the lens onto the profile, and place the channel onto a miter saw with the lens facing down. By doing this you can easily cut both the channel and lens to your desired length at the same time. We recommend using a NEW fine tooth blade to cut your aluminum channels for LED strips. The diffuser/lens is fragile and will easily break with an old blade. The easiest way to avoid breaking a lens or diffuser is to lower the saw blade slowly while cutting.
