Product Information
The 4-pack LED multi-color changing tape lights with remote (Item #1005 875 035, Model #C423100) are a set of adhesive LED strips that can be used to light up your home or office space. The lights come with a remote control that allows you to change the color of the lights and also control the lighting effects, such as flash, strobe, fade, and smooth. The lights can be cut to size and customized to fit your desired installation location. The lights are powered by a +12V adapter that is included in the package.
Product Usage Instructions
Pre-Installation
- Consider the best layout configuration for your installation and how to run and conceal the wires to your LED tape lighting.
- Temporarily mount the LED light strip using painter’s tape to experiment with tape light positioning before permanent installation. Power on the LEDs to ensure you are achieving the desired lighting effect before removing the 3M paper backing for final installation.

Installation
- Connect the LED tape to the connector by aligning at the +12V on the LED tape and the arrow on the connector. Connect the connector to the LED tape by aligning the arrow on the connector and the +12V on the LED tape. Connect LED tape to LED tape by aligning at the +12V on the LED tape. Connect the connector to the connector by aligning the arrows on the connectors.
- Cut the LED strip in the center of copper pads (optional) and use an optional connector (C760011) or accessory (C760110) pack for a more custom installation.
- Adjust the lighting to various angles and positions to get the desired level of illumination and lighting appearance. If the LEDs create undesirable light spots on walls or reflections, reposition the tape light strip farther away from surfaces or try a different mounting angle.
- Once you have determined your final mounting position, clean the surface to ensure the 3M self-adhesive backing will adhere properly. Before removing the 3M paper backing, test the LED strip in the space you intend to light. Once the 3M paper backing is removed and the lighting is fully installed, you cannot reposition or move the LED tape light to another location. The tape may not stick securely.
Installation considerations
- What is the best layout configuration for your installation?
- How will you run and conceal the wires to your LED tape lighting?
- Temporarily mounting the LED light strip using painter’s tape allows you to experiment with tape light positioning before permanent installation.
IMPORTANT:
Using painter’s tape or masking tape, temporarily place the LED light strip
into your desired mounting position. Power on the LEDs to make sure you are
achieving the desired lighting effect before removing the 3M paper backing for
the final installation.
Connecting LED tape and adapter
- Use the following four ways to connect the LED tape and adapter according to installation requirements.
- Connect LED tape to the connector
- Connect connector to LED tape
- Connect LED tape to LED tape
- Connect connector to connector
NOTE:
Connect LED tape to the connector by aligning at the +12V on the LED tape and
the arrow on the connector.
NOTE:
Connect the connector to LED tape by aligning at the arrow on the connector
and the +12V on the LED tape.
NOTE:
Connect LED tape to LED tape by aligning at the +12V on the LED tape.
NOTE:
Connect the connector to the connector by aligning at the arrows on the
connectors.
Cutting the LED strip (optional)
By cutting the strip and exposing the copper pads, an optional connector
(C760011) or accessory (C760110) pack can be used for a more custom
installation.
Preparing the assembly location
- Power the LED tape lighting and temporarily hold or tape into position with painter’s tape or masking tape – do not remove the 3M paper backing.
- Adjust the lighting to various angles and positions to get the desired level of illumination and lighting appearance. If the LEDs create undesirable light spots on walls or reflections, reposition the tape light strip farther away from surfaces or try a different mounting angle.
- Once you have determined your final mounting position, clean the surface to ensure the 3M self-adhesive backing will adhere properly.
IMPORTANT:
Before removing the 3M paper backing, it is important to test the LED strip in
the space you intend to light. Once the 3M paper backing is removed and the
lighting is fully installed, you cannot reposition or move the LED tape light
to another location. The tape may not stick securely.
Installing the LED strip
- 5A Tape method: Working from one end to the other, remove the 3M paper backing and press into place. Press between the LEDs to help ensure secure contact with the mounting surface. Avoid pressing on the individual LEDs as this could damage the LED solder connections.
- 5B Clip and screw method: Place the LED strip (B) in the desired position. Use the clips (BB) and screws (AA) to secure the LED strip as shown. Clips should be placed in open areas of the strip. Do not cover the LED lights.
- Plug the adapter (A) into the wall receptacle and then use the remote (D) to turn the LEDs on.
NOTE:
- Use an angle greater or equal to 90 degrees when there is an LED chip on the corner while placing the strip in a concave position. (Angle≥90°)
- Use an angle greater or equal to 60 degrees when there is no LED chip on the corner while placing the strip in a concave position. (Angle≥60°)
- Use an angle greater or equal to 60 degrees when there is an LED chip on the corner while placing the strip in a convex position. (Angle≥60°) In the convex position, the angle should not reach 90 degrees. See the above diagram.
Installing the infrared receiver
- There are two options:
- A. Remove the protective tape from the adhesive back of the infrared receiver (C), then place the infrared receiver (C) onto the position and press to ensure proper adhesion to the surface.
- B. Use the two screws to install the infrared receiver in the position.
NOTE:
- A. The sensor efficiency distance is ≤5 meters and the sensor efficiency angle is about 60°.
- B. The infrared receiver must face the transmitter to operate properly.
Connecting to the power supply
Connect the adapter (A) to a power outlet.
