Installation & Setup

Follow these steps for safe and proper installation.

  1. Plan Layout: Decide where to place the string light (e.g., along wall, window frame, shelf). Ensure the power outlet is within reach.
  2. Prepare Surface: Clean and dry the mounting surface. Ensure it is smooth and free of dust for adhesive clips.
  3. Mount Clips: Peel backing from adhesive clips and press firmly onto surface at desired intervals (approx. every 12-16 inches). Allow adhesive to set for 1 hour before attaching cable.
  4. Attach String Light: Gently press the cable into the clips, arranging it in your desired pattern (straight line, wave, etc.). Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  5. Connect Power: Plug the adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible and not overloaded.
  6. Test Operation: Turn on using the switch on the power adapter. All 20 LEDs should illuminate evenly.

CAUTION! Do not stretch or pull the cable excessively. Do not mount near curtains or other flammable materials.

Operation

Operating the LEDLJUS string light is simple.

  1. Turning On/Off: Use the switch on the power adapter. Press to turn on; press again to turn off.
  2. Normal Use: Once installed and plugged in, the lights will remain on as long as the switch is in the ON position and power is supplied.
  3. Extended Use: The LEDs are designed for long-term use. It is safe to leave on for many hours, but turning off when not needed saves energy and extends lifespan.

Tip: For decorative purposes, consider using a timer plug (not included) to automate on/off cycles.

Dimming Function

The LEDLJUS string light is dimmable only when connected to a compatible IKEA TRÅDFRI wireless dimmer driver.

  1. Requirements: Purchase an IKEA TRÅDFRI driver and wireless control device (e.g., remote, app) separately.
  2. Connection: Disconnect the string light from the wall outlet. Connect the string light's plug to the output of the TRÅDFRI driver according to the driver's instructions.
  3. Setup: Follow the TRÅDFRI system setup guide to pair the driver with your control device.
  4. Dimming: Once paired, use the TRÅDFRI remote control or smartphone app to adjust brightness levels smoothly.

Note: Do not connect this string light directly to a standard wall dimmer switch, as this may cause damage or malfunction.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures longevity and safe operation.

  1. Cleaning: Unplug from outlet. Wipe the cable and LED bulbs with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, liquids, or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: If not in use for a long time, unplug and gently coil the string light. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  3. Adhesive Clips: If clips lose adhesion, remove and replace with new adhesive clips (available at IKEA). Do not reuse old clips.
  4. Inspection: Periodically check the cable, adapter, and plugs for any signs of damage, such as fraying, cracking, or overheating. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.

CAUTION! Never immerse the string light, adapter, or plugs in water or other liquids.
