Kesalahan Umum dalam Instalasi Neon Flex dan Cara Menghindarinya

Neon flex installation provides an attractive aesthetic effect, but mistakes in the process can be detrimental. Here are some common mistakes often made during neon flex installation, along with ways to avoid them:

1. Lack of Planning

Mistake: Many people start the installation without planning the design and the length of neon flex needed.

How to Avoid:

• Take time to plan the design. Create sketches or use design applications for visualization.

• Accurately measure the installation area using a ruler or measuring tool, and note the required length of neon flex.

• Make a list of all materials and tools needed before starting the installation.

2. Choosing the Wrong Adhesive

Mistake: Using adhesive that is not durable or not suitable for certain surfaces.

How to Avoid:

• Choose adhesive recommended by the neon flex manufacturer. Generally, silicone-based glue or special adhesive for neon lights are good options.

• Conduct a small test of the adhesive on a minor area of the surface to ensure good adhesion.

• Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the adhesive for optimal results.

3. Incorrect Electrical Connections

Mistake: Ignoring connection instructions or using unsuitable wires.

How to Avoid:

• Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. Read the manual and wiring diagrams carefully.

• Use quality electrical cables that meet the power needs of the neon flex.

• If unsure, consult with an electrician to ensure all connections are safe.

4. Poor Lighting Setup

Mistake: Installing neon flex too close to the surface or in the wrong position.

How to Avoid:

• Set the height and angle of neon flex installation while considering the desired direction of light.

• Test the lighting after installation by turning on the neon flex and observing how the light spreads.

• Adjust the position of the neon flex if necessary to achieve the desired lighting effect.

5. Ignoring Safety

Mistake: Not turning off the power before starting the installation.

How to Avoid:

• Always turn off the power in the installation area before starting the installation process.

• Use personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety goggles, when working with electrical wires.

• After installation, check all connections and ensure no wires are exposed before turning the power back on.
