Singapore is humid and some insect like to lay egg on PCB surface. Protection by hollow sleeve or sealed by silicon.4) Do not bend LED strip over a shape edge forming a 90 degree, you would allow the strip to go over naturally at the shape corner. If you apply LED strip with hollow protection strip, do not press too hard onto the PCB during installation with double side tape.Happy Renovation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
