5. Stick the LED strip to the boom pole by removing the backing. Start from the side nearest to the 12mm hole.
Only the backing should be peeled off the LED strip.
Do not attach the LED strip to the underside of the boom pole, i.e. the surface facing the ground, as doing so will result in damage to the LEDs in the instance where the pole collides with a vehicle due to tailgating. It is recommended that the strip is attached to the side of the boom pole that is facing oncoming traffic.
