Simple Connection Steps

SAFETY TIPS

1. Cut along the light strip tape

wherever a dashed line divides

two sets of positive and negative

connection points.

Peel away a portion of the light strip adhesive

backing at one end. With the solderless clamp

open, slide the strip end all the way into the

solderless clamp. Close the hinged clamp.

Remove the remaining adhesive

backing and attach the light strip

to the desired surface.

Note: Polarity symbols should match

on each component.

LED Light Strip Handling:

• Do not stare directly into LED lights when illuminated.

• Always disconnect power supply before cutting/connecting

LED Light Strips.

• Do not expose LED Light Strips` to direct or indirect

moisture.

• Do not crimp light strip tape, attempt to bend light strips

width-wise, or length-wise to a radius less than 15mm.

Power Supply:

• Do not connect LED Light Strips directly to 120V AC power.

• Apply power to test LED Light Strips before mounting.

• Do not connect more than one 16.5’ section of light strips to

the included power supply. Overloading the included power

Installation Planning

Flexible LED Light Strips are highly versatile and can provide a superior lighting solution in a variety of applications. To maxi-

process.

Some general questions to ask in determining which installation design

best suits your lighting needs are:

• Where will your power supply be located?

•

• How will you run your wiring to your LED strip lighting?

Flexible LED Light Strips are designed to

provide indirect, accent-style lighting. Be

sure to install your LED lighting out of

direct sight.

This kit requires an UL Listed Class 2 12 VDC power supply.

Wiring Considerations

Important factors to consider when designing your lighting system are:

• e total lighting wattage your installation will require.

• e length and size of wiring needed to connect LED light

strips to the power supply.

Use the chart below as a reference to minimize voltage drop.

Voltage Drop

Voltage drop is the normal loss of voltage that

occurs as power ows along a wire connection

in low voltage systems, and increases as the

length of a wire connection is increased. Wire

length and thickness as well as total light watt-

age inuence the amount of voltage drop.

Layout Options

Light strips are powered from a single looped “Loop-

back” connection, which also produces more consis-

tent results. Oen used for room perimeter and cove

In the “Array” option, light strip “legs” are individual-

ly powered. Total wattage should be determined so as

not to overload power supply.

Power

Supply

Light strips are powered in a continuous “Straight”

run. Strips that are furthest from the power supply

are more likely to exhibit voltage drop.

Light strips are powered from a spliced “Centerfeed”

connection. is type of layout tends to produce

more consistent brightness and color between strips.

LED Light Strip power requirements are based on several factors, including the light strip layout and the length limitations of

light strip-type lighting. Refer to the guide below for choosing a power supply. It is recommended to choose a power supply

option in excess of your needs, since LED Light Strips cannot be overloaded. UL Listed Class 2 power supply required.

your connection wires. A leg can be a single LED strip or series of strips connected end-to-end.

Calculate the wattage for each leg by multiplying watts per foot by the length of LED lighting in the leg. Include only the

lengths of LED tape in your calculation, not the connecting wires. Add each leg’s wattage requirement together, and referring

to the chart below, determine the total watts needed to power your array and select the appropriate power supply.

Cutting, Connecting and Wiring

LED Light Strips can be cut in 5cm lengths, each containing 3 LEDs. Lengths are marked at cutting intervals by lines lying

between sets of soldering points, as indicated in the illustration below.

For longer wiring needs between LED Light Strips, another op-

tion is to splice in longer lengths of wiring between two solderless

clamps, as shown at right.

Wiring lengths can be increased up to 10 ., using 22-18 AWG

wiring.

Another option for quick, easy and exible connection between

LED Light Strips is the Light Strip Interconnect, shown at right.

Interconnects are a useful option in applications where you want

to easily join light strips over separated surfaces, such as between

kitchen cabinets.

Installation

Important

e backing tape on LED Light Strips

is coated with a strong adhesive that

is intended for a single application

only. Apply only when a lighting loca-

tion is fully determined.

Mounting Options

Once you have determined your nal mounting position, clean the surface

to assure the self-adhesive backing will adhere properly. e mounting

surface needs to be smooth, dry, and free from oils and waxes.

Although LED Light Strips can be installed in curved and irregular spaces,

avoid sharp bends or bending on the solder joints as you could damage the

light strip. If an LED is inadvertently damaged and fails to light, the

remaining LEDs will continue to operate.

Mounting Options

Once you have chosen a lighting conguration and nished making necessary connections, installing Light Strips can be as

simple as applying them to the desired surface. However, it is recommended to rst try dierent installation options to achieve

the most attractive results from your lighting system.

Below, some typical installation techniques for dierent applications are represented with some general guidelines to observe.

Troubleshooting

Tape light strip does not light

• Make sure your power supply is turned on and receiving power.

• Conrm you have maintained correct polarity (+ to + and – to –) when joining LED Light Strips as well as when connect-

ing to the 12V power supply.

• Check all tape light connections and any switch or dimmer connections from the power supply to the LED Light Strips.

Consider testing with a multimeter to ensure light strip is receiving 12V power.

Only part of the LED tape light strip is lit

• Check connections to the part of the Light Strip that is not lit.

• Conrm you have maintained correct polarity (+ to + and – to –) when joining LED Light Strips as well as when con-

necting to the 12V power supply.

• If only 1 LED series is out, cut out and remove the damaged 3-LED group and splice together LED Light Strips or re-

place with new 3-LED section.

LED tape lights blink on, then go o

• Your power supply is not adequate for the length of LED Light Strips you are powering. Install a higher wattage power

supply or reduce watts used by shortening the lengths of your LED Light Strips.

LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer

• is is the result of voltage drop. Decrease the length of the 12V power feed wires or use thicker power feed wires be-

tween the 12V power supply and the lighting strips.

• Use shorter lengths of LED Light Strips. Refer to layout options in these guidelines. Consider a dierent layout.
