Hi All,
Does anyone have a solution for the LED strip falling off? Seems the double-sided tape used it not sticky enough.

Thanks,
Mark

I had the same problem. A bit of gorilla glue fixed it right up :slight_smile:

You could try Alien tape… It’s a thicker double-sided transparent tape that makes a nearly permanent bond. I bought some from Costco a year ago. Used it to mount some of the accessory control boxes(BitRunner) onto my enclosure - nearly couldn’t get them off again when the time came to change things up cause I had used too much of the tape.
An interesting feature of the tape is that the intermediate layer will squish & conform to surfaces for maximum contact if you apply pressure.

I found that mine was simply too bright, so I covered it with a layer of double-sided tape and didn’t peel off the covering.

My lights started falling off when the shop temperature starting getting hot this summer. I just purchased a roll of 1/2 wide double sided foam tape and that seems to have worked for the last several months.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
