I'm replacing all the incandescent bulbs with smd led panels in the fixture. The 2 sided tape on the led panels doesn't seem to want to stay stuck. I've heard this is a common problem. What have you come up with to keep the LEDs tuck in the fixture?

The two sided tape that comes with the leds is useless. Buy a roll of good 2 sided tape and re-do the led panels.

All of mine have been up for a couple of years now. What I did was clean the surface of the fixture real good with rubbing alcohol and a clean paper towel a couple of times & let dry a couple of minutes b4 applying.

3M VHB would do the trick

X4 on 3M tape. Just used it on applying cork board to a wall and it's great stuff

3m tape.. in 5,10,15 pound... if you use the 15 pound tape.. and wish to remove.. get a long screwdriver to PRY it off.

glue stick .. also works well.
