HITLIGHTS L1012V-MC1-0465-ECLBK LED Strip Lights
Welcome to LED Strip Lighting.
Our thin and flexible LED lighting can be used in nearly and space to create
wonderful accents of stylish light just about anywhere! Our high-quality LED
chips provide exceptional light output, color accuracy, and brightness; and
will be sure to establish a comfortable lighting effect for your project!
Because they are fully dimmable and run on very low amounts of power, our LED
light strips are designed to be an extremely versatile lighting solution.
Common uses for our LED Light Strips include task lighting and accent lighting:
- Indirect lighting for recessed coves and molding
- Display cases, shelves, etc.
- Over, inside, and under cabinet areas
- Perimeter lighting for counters and shelves
- Custom lighting for artwork and other projects
In general, LED Strip Lights provide an easy DIY task for most customers, but basic wiring skills such as stripping, splicing, extending, and connecting wires are usually required for custom installations.
Eclipse Kit
Your kit should include the following parts.
- 4*1ft Eclipse LED Strip light
- 1* UL Power Supply
- 4* 1ft 4-pin Strip-to-Strip Connectors
- 2*Controller Fixing Tape
- 1* RF Receiver
- 1* RF Remote
- 8* Wire Holding Clips
Check the contents of the package. Make sure that all the above are included.
WARNING
- Be careful not to damage the strip or other components. Avoid contact with strong chemicals or cleaning products, sharp objects, or unwanted electrical sources (including static electricity)
- Avoid bending your strip at sharp angles, as this can damage the strip over time.
- Do not attach the strip to conductive or metal surfaces – and be sure that the surface you’re installing on does not contain potentially conductive objects such as nails or screws.
- LED strip light can be cut by segment, but we don’t recommend it, since segmenting it can cause the strip to be unstable. If it’s required, please prepare the connectors, and make sure the tooth of connectors are being pressed flush onto the metal pad of the strip light during the connection.
Important Notices and Concerns
- This product must only be powered by a 12V DC power source.
- Unplug your power source when cutting LED strips.
- Pay close attention to the polarity of all connections: match positive to (+) and negative to (-).
- This strip is rated as IP-65, and it should be installed in dry or damp indoor locations. Not recommended for outdoor use.
- Be sure to follow local and national electrical codes for low-voltage Class 2 power units.
Steps for More Advanced Installations
12V DC Voltage Drop: 12V DC power is naturally subject to “voltage drop.”
Along the length of 12V power wires through the lighting, LED chips may begin
to dim after connecting more than 1 spool of this LED light strip. This can be
corrected with the use of RGB amplifiers.
CONNECTING YOUR LED LIGHT STRIP
- Before formally installing in the designated location, please connect the strip lights to the receiver and power supply, then connect the power supply to the power source to test and verify your LED strip lights are in working order.
- Use the included alcohol pad to clean the location where you plan to adhere your strip, making sure no dust or dirt remains prior to installation. (Some surfaces may not be suitable for this tape (eg. brick, fabric, or other rough surfaces).
- Carefully remove the blue release liner protecting the surface of the LED Strip’s adhesive. Press and hold the led light strip along the installation location. Make sure there are no gaps between the lights and the surface.
- Connect the LED strip light to the receiver, then to the power supply. Make sure that the arrow on the 4 PIN connectors matches the arrow on the strip light. (The arrows at both ends need to correspond positively.)
- Use the included foam tape to mount the receiver, and the included wire clips to keep the wire connectors in place.
- Connect your power supply to your power source – your strips should light up!

Operation
Using Remote Controller
Remove the Plastic tab before using. Remote signals can pass through many
barriers. To properly receive the remote signal, do not install the main unit
within enclosed metal parts.
Paring New Remote
The remote is paired to the receiver by default. A receiver can be paired to 2
remotes. Remotes can be paired to any receiver. If a receiver be paired to 3
remotes, the 3rd remote will cover the 1st. Follow the steps below to pair a
new remote.
- Disconnect the receiver from power, and reconnect within 5 sec.
- Press ‘ On ‘for 2 seconds and the receiver will recognize the new remote controller.
