-
Do not cover this product as the covering may cause the light to overheat and melt or ignite.
-
Always keep the rectifier/controller on power wire, don’t remove it. We do not recommend customers to cut, shorten, or splice the light before consulting a qualified electrician.
-
Unroll the light before lighting it up. Or else it might melt the rope light and even cause a fire.
-
Unplug the light before installing or replacing fuses.
-
Do not submerge the light in liquids.
Connections are non-waterproof yet.
Keep all connections away from water and moisture to prevent circuit damage which can lead to fires. -
Do not pull on or stretch rope light as this will damage the inner wires, causing sections to fail.
-
Do not connect together more than 130ft per power supply to avoid overloading electrical circuits.
-
Do not mount or support the light in a manner that can damage the outer jacket or cord insulation. Inspect periodically.

REMOTE FUNCTIONS
-
TURN ON / OFF
Press ‘On’ key to turn on unit or press ‘Off‘ key to turn off. Retains last setting between power off and power on. -
INCREASE / DECREASE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL
Increases (+) or decreases (-) the brightness of the currently active static colour. -
SELECT STATIC COLOR
Activates the static colour indicated by the button colour. -
SELECT DYNAMIC MODES
Dynamic modes feature a variety of static colour transitions and patterns. -
REMOTE LED INDICATOR
Flashes red when remote is operating to indicate that remote is functioning properly.
REMOTE PAIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Each individual wireless remote can be assigned to an unlimited number of
controllers. The following steps show how to assign a new remote to the LED
Controller:
- Disconnect the power to the controller.
- Hold down the brightness increase button for 5 seconds.
- Reconnect the power to the controller.
- LED Light unit will flash indicating the new wireless remote has been successfully assigned.
CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
Although all of our stip light can be cut avery cuttnble interval, wede not recorfiriend cutting forthe. fallawihig reasons:
- Cutting the rope light voids any certification the product have had in it’s pre-modited state.
- Cutting or damaging outer plastic tubing can Sause dn-electrical/ fire hazatd.
- Cutting anywhere besides the cut marks will damage that section of rope light and cause it to fail.
However, we still provide step-by-step guidances on how to-sately-cut-rope light without damaging it ard making it work for yout specific needs. Please fallow thase steps as strictly as possible.
- Disconnect power before you make any cutting.
- Measure the desired length for your application, most of our rope light is cuttable at every 1 meter (approximately 3.3ft). Make sure your desired length is divisible by the cuttable interval. If not,round up or down to the nearest interval and make sure this new length will still work with your project.
- Locate the closest cut spot. There will be black dot on neon light indicating where to cut the rope light. Be sure to avoid cutting the diodes or the circuit boards.If you cut the light anywhere else, the internal circuit will be damaged and the light will not illuminate within the interrupted section that has been severed. Take either sharp scissors or utility knife, line it up perpenaicularly and cut exactly at the dot. Try to keep the cut as clean and smooth as possible. You will see inner wires at the ends of your rope lights. This completes cutting the rope light and has prepared the end to receive any accessories that might be attached. A cut piece of rope light must have a few more things before it will work: controller pack, end cap.
POWERING INSTRUCTIONS
- Disconnect power first.
- Locate and identify the 4 wires in the LED strip light on the positive side. It is important to keep the power flowing in the same direction to avoid mixing up polarity. The sharp prongs of the pin should be in the same direction with the “→” mark on the rope light.
- Line up the sharp prongs of the pin with the light wires. Gently insert the pin into the LED strip light making sure to make a solid and correct connection with the internal wires. The pins do not need to be fully inserted, if you push the pins too far into the strip, it may cause damage to the wires or cause a short circuit.
- Insert rounded prongs of the pin into the RGB controller, LED lights are polarized, if they do not light up when you first plug them in, simply unolug the power cord and turn 180° the power cord as indicated and reconnect the strip Hight again.
- Test the strip to make sure the light works by plugging in the power supply into an outlet. The lights should now come on. If the lights do not come on, please check the first step again. Always keep the controller on power wire, don’t remove it.
WATERPROOFING INSTRUCTIONS
Important Note: Our 120V LED rope lights are not fully waterproof. When
using our rope lights outdoors, all connections, power cords, and end caps
must be properly resealed to prevent moisture intrusion which can cause
dangerous short circuiting and even lead to fires. When using lights indoors,
proper waterproofing would extend their lifespan. Also re-waterproofing your
LED strip is a must after you have cut the strip. Waterproof PVC or silicone
is required to seal all connections, power cords, and end caps.
NOTE the use of any non-recommended sealant e.g. electrical tape may result in
a strip light or strip light accessory failure and will void the
warranty.
- Disconnect power first. Cut about 4 inches of the shrink tube, and then slide it over the power cord.
- Then waterproofing the connections by applying silicone adhesive liberally into the inside and outside of the connected area. Gently press out any bubbles and make sure to wipe out excess adhesive, let it dry for 24 Nours.
- Slide tne heat shrink tubing over the connected area, then use a heat gun to heat up the tubing to create the seal.
- To create an authentic watertight seal, you need to further waterproof it by wrapping more tubing around connections in an overlapping spiral fashion, then use a heat gun to repeat these steps. Make sure the end cap get waterproofed too.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
The entire light will not illuminate | Incorrect power source | Ensure the light |
is plugged into an 120VAC outlet and the power is on.
Loose pin connection| Check the pin connection and make sure the pin is
inserted fully into the internal wires.
Mixed polarity| Check the right polarity according to the POWERING
INSTRUCTIONS.
Rectifier issue| Replace the power cord.
Blown fuse| Check if the inline fuse on the plug has blown, fuses normally
blow out when they short circuit caused by water intrusion or damaged wiring
connections.
The light has sections that will not illuminate| Manufacturing flaw or
mechanical damage during shipping| Check if the sections do not light up when
the light first arrives.
Incorrect bending during installation| Do not fold or stretch the rope lights.
Do not bend the light to sharp angles or make repeated and continuous bending
as this may damage circuit traces during installation.
