LED dome light upgrade won't stay in place

[vlopddap]

I purchase a large quantity of 24 LED panel (SMD 5050) over eBay to upgrade all dome/wall/cabinet/exterior lights of my trailer to LED (cool white). I order them from eBay and they are AWESOME. Light is powerful a LOT and no more yellowish light inside the trailer! The price is kinda incredible too... 20$ for 15X units.

I only have one issue so far and I want your advice... those LED panel came with a double-sided adhesive on back of the panel to mount inside dome light. But after a few hours of use and because those SMD 5050 panel became a little warm (not hot, just a little warm), the cheap double-sided adhesive felt appart and LED panel won't stay in place anymore.

Any suggestion? I'm pretty sure many other people experience this issue here... do you use a industrial adhesive maybe or silicone glue maybe? Or maybe there's some kind of true heavy-duty double-sided adhesive?

Even with this minor issue I do recommend this upgrade to everyone, light is awesome and low power drain too!!

Thank you!!

My husband is working on this right now - I'll have to take photos when I get home. He is using wire and made up a jig as he has to make 20 of these. Photo to follow......

the zip tie is a good solution, I can see how any adhesive could fail due to heat over time.

Here is what I did...looped a zip tie around it and behind the reflector inside..I used a white zip tie. Can't even see it when the lens is on the fixture.

Yes maybe, but I think I'll have to remove each fixture from the ceiling before drilling the holes which could be a long operation.
