This appliance must be used with the LED Manager: don’t connect the unit to any dimmer pack or other
power supply.
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
The housing must be replaced if it is visibly damaged.
Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
Due to safety reasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modifications to the unit.
Important: Don’t use the effect in the presence of persons suffering from epilepsy.
DESCRIPTION:
1. FLEXILED: 5m flexible LED-strip that can be bended to follow the curves of the surface it is fixed on.
Sealed with a PU-jacket to make it IP65 protected.
2. SILICON INSTALLATION JACKET: used to easily fix the Flexiled against any surface.
3. CUTTING LINES: every 10cm the Flexiled can be cut with a sharp knife.
4. LEDs: every 10cm three 5050 SMD-LEDs are fitted.
5. CONNECTION WIRES: used to connect the Flexiled to a LED power supply:
SINGLE COLOR VERSION: only 2 wires are used. If you don’t want to dim the Flexiled, you can
connect these 2 wires to the LED PSU-50W/24V (order code: 4935). If you want to dim the
Flexiled, you can connect the wires to one of our LED Managers (different models, see later to
learn about how to make the connections)
RGB VERSION: uses 4 wires to connect one of our LED Managers (different models, see later to
learn about how to make the connections)
6. IP65 SEALING: Flexiled comes with sealed wires, if you want to add wires yourself and the Flexiled
is used in a humid environment than you should add heat shrink (see chapter “electrical installation”)

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Thanks to the special silicon installation jacket, the Flexiled can be mounted in different ways.
Mounting with double sided adhesive tape:
Used to install the Flexiled on smooth surfaces where you are not allowed
to make holes: mirrors, glass, etc.
Thanks to the silicon jacket the glue of the double sided adhesive tape will
not warm up and become sticky, as a result you will get good long-term
results.
Just take good quality double sided adhesive tape (optional, not included)
and cut it to size.
Put it on the bottom of the silicon installation jacket and fix the jacket to
the surface.
When the jacket is in place, you can install the Flexiled easily inside the
jacket. Make sure the Flexiled is never squashed by hard objects.!
Mounting with small screws or staples:
Used to install the Flexiled on any surface where you are allowed to make
holes: walls, wooden furniture, etc. Thanks to the silicon jacket you can use
small screws, nails or even staples to fix the silicon installation jacket.
Just take the silicon installation jacket and fix it to the surface with nails,
staples, etc.
When the jacket is in place, you can install the Flexiled easily inside the
jacket. Make sure the Flexiled is never squashed by hard objects.!
Hint: You can install the Flexiled also behind translucent plastic panels to
create color changing walls and ceilings or in a bar you can install the strips
under a translucent shelf to light up bottles and drinking glasses from the
bottom.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the
regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
VERY IMPORTANT: Check the user manual of the LED Manager for the maximum allowed power on
its outputs! One length of Flexiled may NEVER exceed 5m otherwise it will be destroyed by
excessive current. So never put 2 Flexileds in series to become a total length over 5m! If you need
lengths over 5m, please use several units and put them in parallel. Take in account that 1m
consumes 6,5W, for longer cables (>10m) always add around 10% margin to your calculations for
possible losses in longer connection cables: so 6,5W/m becomes +/-7,2W/meter.
Connecting Flexiled single color to a LED Manager:
If the Flexiled should be dimmed or controlled by an external
(DMX) controller, than this is the best solution.
Strip the 2 wires of the Flexiled and connect the red wire to the
+24V output of the LED Manager. The other wire can be connected
to one of the other outputs: R, G or B:
When you connect the wire to the R output, you will be able to
control the Flexiled by controlling the color “red” on the LED
Manager.
When you connect the wire to the G output, you will be able to
control the Flexiled by controlling the color “green” on the LED
Manager.
When you connect the wire to the B output, you will be able to
control the Flexiled by controlling the color “blue” on the LED
Manager.
Important: This means that you can control 3 different single color
Flexileds with only one LED Manager. However don’t forget the
single color Flexiled consumes about 6,5W/meter (+/-

33W/5meter) for one color(!) so when you install 3 single color Flexileds (5m each) to a LED Manager,
they will consume 3 times more than 1 Flexiled RGB: 3x 33W = 99W. With longer connection cables you
even have to add around 10% (99W becomes 109W!) to cover eventual losses. Very important while
choosing the right LED Manager to do the job!
Connecting Flexiled single color to a LED PSU 50W/24V:
If you don’t need to dim the Flexiled single color, this is definitely the best
and most economical solution. Just connect the 2 wires of the Flexiled to the
contact terminals of the LED PSU 50W/24V. Take care that the red wire of the
Flexiled is connected to the red wire of the LED PSU. Always check if the
power consumption of the Flexiled is lower than the maximum power of the
LED PSU.
Connecting Flexiled RGB to a LED Manager:
Strip the 4 colored wires of the Flexiled and connect them to the
corresponding outputs of the LED Manager. Flexiled RGB
consumes about 6,5W/meter (33W/5meter), distributed over the 3
colors. When you install more than 1 Flexiled, please check the
maximum output power of the LED Manager. Don’t forget to add
10% to cover the losses while using longer connection cables…
Cutting a Flexiled to size:
You don’t always need the maximum length of the Flexiled: no problem, you
can easily cut it to the desired length! Every 10cm you will see a white line where
you can cut the Flexiled using a very sharp hobby cutter or diagonal cutting
pliers (picture).
Connecting Flexiled using soldered wires:
You can connect one or more pieces of Flexiled together by soldering small
wires (to be carried out by skilled electricians only):
First cut the Flexiled at one of the cutting lines (see previous point).
To free the soldering contacts, gently remove the PU-jacket using a sharp
cutter. Be careful: make sure not to damage the copper layers of the
Flexiled.
Once the soldering contacts are free, you can solder the wires. Please use
adapted soldering equipment, overheating can destroy the Flexiled!:
Flexiled RGB: just solder 4 wires to the different contacts, preferable in the corresponding colors
to exclude polarity errors.
Flexiled single color: The contacts named R, G & B should be connected together, a black wire
can be soldered. The 4
th
contact is +24V, a red wire should be soldered here.
Important: if the installation is used outside or in a humid environment, the connections should be sealed
with a combination of shrink sleeve and silicon glue. Again this is something only skilled electricians can do.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Since the Flexiled is controlled by the LED Manager, we strongly advice to read the operation instructions
in the LED Manager user manual.
MAINTENANCE
Switch off the LED Manager and unplug the mains cable before you start servicing.
The cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small
problem is detected.
The cleaning of the plastic enclosure must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning
frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty
surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
Always dry the parts carefully.
