Read all warnings and installaon instrucons thoroughly.
WARNING
Install in accordance with naonal and local electrical code regulaons.
This product is intended to be installed and serviced by a qualied,
licensed electrician.
This product must be powered with a compable Class 2 DC Constant
Voltage LED driver (power supply).
DO NOT power tape light while aached to plasc spool or ghtly coiled.
Excess heat may melt the spool and/or cause damage to the xture.
DO NOT install in locaon where LED chips are exposed to direct
sunlight or damage to the phosphor will occur.
Ensure applicable wire is installed between driver, xture, and any
controls in between. When choosing wire, factor in voltage drop,
amperage rang, and type (in-wall rated, wet locaon rated, etc.).
Inadequate wire installaon could overheat wires, and cause a re.
Tape light, aached wire leads, and addional extension cables,
connectors, etc., are not rated for in-wall installaon unless otherwise
noted. Use wires rated for at least 176°F (80°C) and cered for use
with external connecon of electrical equipment.
Connectors have a Class 2 amp limit unless otherwise noted.
Each tape light has a dierent power consumpon rang and maximum
run length that must be individually wired to a compable low voltage
(PWM) control or DMX decoder. Refer to tape light package label or
spec sheet for more informaon.
Only wet locaon tape light models are rated for outdoor / wet
locaons. See package label for environment rangs.
Tape light must be handled with care. Excessive handling, bending, and
pressure may damage the product, voiding the warranty.

C. Remove adhesive paper from the tape light to expose 3M™ adhesive.
Ensure ambient temp is minimum 50°F (10°C) or tape will not
adhere properly.
Prior to installaon, verify all components are a compable system. Congure and pre-test your LED system prior to permanent installaon to ensure all
components are operang correctly. Install in accordance with naonal and local electrical codes.

Cut the tape at the line indicated with the scissors icon. Close the CLICKTIGHT™ latch to ensure connecon.
When ready for mounng, peel o the 3M™ adhesive backing
of the tape and tear o along the connector tray edge. Mount
tape light and ulize a wiring harness to secure lead wires.
Open the CLICKTIGHT™ latch and note the +/- polarity markings.
Firmly insert the tape light into the connector tray with the
3M™ adhesive backing sll intact to the tape. Ensure the
contact/solder points of the tape are directly underneath the
metal placement tabs of the connector.

Prior to troubleshoong, ensure all items are a compable system and main power is turned ON.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Shi in brightness and/or kelvin
Review maximum series run limits. Exceeding these limits will cause
excess voltage drop, decreasing brightness and/or kelvin as the run is
extended.
Some LEDs are not funconal
Ensure all connecons have been properly aached. Ensure xture has
not been bent excessively, which may cause components and solder to
detach from the circuit board.
Lights are ickering
Ensure a compable driver is installed. Ensure the pre-set mode of the
controller is not on a dynamic mode. Ensure Data +/- connecons of
DMX systems are not reversed. If lights connue to icker, check for
loose connecons. Ensure tape light connectors are properly aached.
Lights are turning on/o repeatedly Ensure driver is not overloaded. An overloaded driver will trip the
internal auto-reset (of driver) repeatedly, turning the system on/o.
CLICKTIGHT™ Connector Troubleshoong
Ensure compable CLICKTIGHT™ models are aached. Tape lights vary
in width and require specic connectors. Contact your supplier for
addional informaon.
Tape light is polarity sensive. Ensure the +/- markings of the CLICKTIGHT™
connector is aligned with the +/- markings of the tape. If polarity is
backwards, reverse the lead wire connecon or detach tape from
CLICKTIGHT™ connector and reaach opposing end of tape to connector.

*** Install a Class 2 constant voltage driver compable with
a low voltage PWM controller/dimmer switch. Refer to each
driver specicaon sheet for full power rangs & load
derangs.
**** Determine the number of low voltage outputs of the

switches. No more than one PWM controller/dimmer switch
can be aached to a single output of the driver.
