evo-lite Auragami Gen2 Supplemental Light Sheet
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
The award-winning Auragami flexible light sheet is an incredible lighting tool
that offers design flexibility and easy installations. This guide will help
you plan your light sheet layouts so that your project goes smoothly. Please
reference Auragami’s instruction manual for detailed use.
Use this layout guide to:
- Plan accurate, optimized layouts
- Determine product quantities
- Eliminate layout errors and wasted sheets
LIGHT SHEET DIMENSIONS
AG2’s two-foot by one-foot size makes planning easy! Cut lines and terminal
locations will vary by sheet type.

LIGHT SHEET ORIENTATION
Auragami Tunable White and RGBW light sheets have orientation arrows printed
on them. These light sheets must be installed with the orientation arrows
pointing in the same direction over the entire illuminated area. This helps
maintain equal LED spacing across the installation area. Failure to do this
will cause irregular color shifts.
LIGHT SHEET SPECIFICATIONS
Knowing Auragami’s specifications will help you plan your power supply location, type, and quantity. Please refer to the appropriate Specification Sheet for your Auragami product to review all technical details before starting.
Voltage | 24VDC – Constant Voltage |
---|---|
Wattage | 17.2 Watts per sheet |
Light Output | Up to 1100 lumens per sheet |
EXAMPLE PROJECT
We’ve chosen to backlight a kitchen island for the purposes of this
demonstration. We will need to account for the kitchen sink cutout when
planning our project.
This basic project will introduce us to many common scenarios in an Auragami installation including:
- Calculating product quantities
- Planning an optimized layout
- Making cuts to the light sheets
- Accounting for light sheet orientation
- Accounting for edges and cutouts
ESTIMATE LIGHT SHEET QUANTITY
The easiest way to determine how many light sheets your project requires is to
use square footage.
Square foot formula:
Using feet: Length x Width = Square feet
Using inches: (Length x Width) ÷ 144 = Square feet
-
Section A Counter
Dimensions: 102” x 45”
102 x 45 = 4,590
4,590 ÷ 144 = 31.88ft2 -
Section B Sink Cutout
Dimensions: 33” x 22”
33 x 22 =726
726 ÷ 144 = 5.04ft2 -
Required Coverage
Determine total square feet.
31.88 – 5.04 = 26.84ft2
We need to backlight 27f -
Light Sheet Total
One sheet = 2ft2
27 ÷ 2 = 13.5
We need 14 light sheets.
Adding overage
With our calculation, we know that 14 light sheets will provide enough coverage for our installation. However, keep in mind that due to cutting and layout decisions, we may not be able to use every single part of each light sheet. Adding overage helps ensure you’ve ordered enough light sheets and provides some additional padding in the case of miscut sheets or layout issues.
For single color, we suggest adding at least 5% more light sheets. For tunable white and RGBW, we suggest adding at least 10% more light sheets. Tunable white and RGBW light sheets require identical sheet orientation, which will limit our flexibility when cutting and fitting them to our layout.
-
Single Color
Sheet overage = ≥5%
14 x 0.05 = 0.7
We suggest ordering 1-2 extra sheets. -
Tunable White
Sheet overage = ≥10%
14 x 0.1 = 1.4
We suggest ordering 2-3 extra sheets. -
RGBW
Sheet overage = ≥10%
14 x 0.1 = 1.4
We suggest ordering 2-3 extra sheets.
LAYOUT RESULTS
As you can see, the extra light sheet made our install much easier by
eliminating the need to piecemeal cutoffs together. We were able to place all
the light sheets in the exact same orientation, making the LEDs and
connectors perfectly aligned. Note that some of the sheet connection terminals
may need to be removed forbest results (see instruction manual). Last, check
out the color zones to see how we would connect the sheets in each Class 2
circuit. Tidy, preplanned layouts pay off immensely in the end – so take your
time planning!
SPANNING MULTIPLE PLANES
Auragami’s flexible and foldable PCB makes it easy to span across sides. The
ideal place to fold the light sheet is on the cut lines. Do not fold the light
sheet on any rigid component such as the LEDs, transistors, or terminal
blocks. Doing so may affect light sheet functionality.
Terminal blocks may be removed if they are in the way of a fold and not
required for a sheet to sheet connection. Use a pair of pliers to gently twist
the terminal block back and forth until it breaks free.
MASTERING CORNERS
The cuttability of Auragami makes lighting corners easy.
Simply measure the height of the adjacent surfaces and cut an equally sized
notch out of the light sheet.
Be sure to line up the light sheet’s folds with the depth of the cut as demonstrated to the right.
LAYOUT WORKSHEET
Calculate the square footage of the entire area that needs to be illuminated. Refer to the square foot formula on page three. Be sure to account for the following aspects of your project: sheet orientation, terminal locations, lit edges / sides, layout obstructions, and unlit areas within the illuminated area.
Note – If using the interactive PDF, list all measurements in inches.
