SAFETY & WARNINGS

Please read instructions before using product and SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Before using this product make sure you have right color, product (item number) and voltage (printed on product). Check for possibility of damage during shipping. If damaged, or wrong product, do not use. Disconnect power before installing or using.
Use only with Class 2 Type power supply. Using with any other type of power supply will void the limited warranty.

Use only with LED World’s Class 2 Type power supply.
Disconnect power before installing or servicing (at breaker point).
This product is intended to be installed and serviced by a qualified licensed electrician. Install in accordance with the National Electric Code, and local regulations. Only power with a (listed) constant voltage Class 2 power supply (24V DC).
Never plug into 120V AC. The product requires a optional class 2 Transformer.

Do not power when rolled. Lighting must be installed in a straight line on a flat surface. Do not curl or twist and roll out completely straight before applying power.
Only install on smooth flat surfaces free of burrows that are fire retardant. Recommended to be mounted onto a Aluminium Profiles to dissipate heat.
Product has an adhesive tape on back. Adhesion can only be made once and the LED strip must fully adhere to surface (flush). Failure to do this step will damage product. Rigidly support wires with wire clamps.
During installation, do not damage the printed circuit. Exposed wires can cause short circuit damaging product and creating a serious hazard. Do not mount in a manner or support LED Strip light in a manner that can damage the outer jacket or cord insulation. Do not install this lighting system where the exposed bare conductors can be shorted or contact any conductive materials. Carefully check that there is no wire cross-over or possibility in the future in area of installation.
To reduce the risk of fire and overheating, make sure all connections are tight.
Product is sold in the maximum length. Do not exceed or extend the length of the roll.
Only qualified electrician or engineer can perform installation familiar with low voltage wiring techniques. Correct polarity is imperative (+/- is marked on printed circuit). Parallel connection only.
DO NOT install on flammable material or possibility of in the future. Do not install any luminaire closer than 6 inches (15.25 cm) from any curtain, or similar combustible materials.
The light and all its components cannot be mechanically pressed. Never apply to surface above 40c (104F).
Voltage must not exceed 24VDC and must be regulated. The Voltage is printed every 6 LEDS. Check that it is the correct voltage before applying power.
This is not a toy. Keep out of children’s reach.
Keep Flex strip spaced ¾” apart if placing next to each other.
LED Flex Strip is bendable on one flat widest plane. Maximum bend radius is 4 inches (100mm) on one plane (flat).
Not for use in mission critical, aircraft, emergency signs or lifesaving equipment.
Static electricity can damage LED(s). Handle with care.
Inspect installation after one hour and thereafter regularly.
For stationary use only and not subjected to possible pressure or movement (or in the future).
Not for in-wall use.
Max. Soldering temperature cannot exceed 250°C (482°F) for a max of 4 seconds. Use 22~20 AWG wire to connect.
Use correct wiring as required by local electrical code. Use a 20 gauge wire to attach to strip by solder (2464 type of wire). Connection to power source may use Wago™ 222-413 in hardwire applications.
Cable lighting systems not be installed in bathrooms.
Conductors of extra-low-voltage circuits be rigidly supported.
Conductors not be installed in contact with combustible materials and not run through walls, ceilings, floors or partitions, and; Uninsulated conductors not be installed less than 2.2 m (86”) from the floor.
Do not stare directly into the LED Light. Install LED lighting out of direct sight.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

LED Flexstrip is a versatile lighting product that can provide a superior lighting solution in a variety of applications.
Recommend design steps before starting the installation process:
General questions based on lighting requirements:

Where will your power supply be located
How will you switch your LED lighting ON and OFF?
What is the best layout configuration for your installation with wiring consideration?
How will you run your wiring to your LED strip lighting?

WATTAGE CALCULATION

The LED Flex Strips have a label on each roll that indicates the voltage and wattage. You must have the correct Class 2 Power Supply (Transformer) for LED Strip model. To calculate the wattage, measure the total length of LED Strip in your run multiplied by the wattage of the LED Strip. Remember that a power source should only operate at a maximum 80% of it rated capacity.
For example : 10 feet of FC60M51-10M-24V-RGBW x 2.7W = 27 Watts
Never Extend the Length of rolls. Rolls are sold in their max length.

WIRING FOR VOLTAGE DROP
Voltage drop is normal loss of voltage that occurs as power flows along a wire connection in a low voltage systems, and increases as the length of a wire connection is increased. Wire length and thickness as well as total light wattage influence the amount of voltage drop.

Recommended maximum wire lengths – 24VDC

TROUBLESHOOTING

Tape light strip does not light

Make sure your power supply is turned on and has the correct voltage.
Confirm you have the correct polarity (+ to +, G to G, R to R, B to B and W to W) throughout the run of LED Lighting.
Have a electrician check all connections and any switch or dimmer connections from the power supply to the LED Light Strips.
Consider testing with a multimeter to ensure light strip is receiving 24V power.
LED Flex Strip lights blink on, then go off
The power supply is not adequate for the length of LED Light Strips you are powering. Install a adequate Class 2 power supply.
LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer
This is the result of voltage drop. Decrease the length of the 24V power feed or use thicker power feed wires between the 24V power supply and the lighting strips.

IMPORTANT !

The following task requires personnel experienced with soldering and low voltage DC wiring techniques.
Note : End cap is included in each light kit along with mounting clips. If product is cut, it is no longer water resistant (IP-22) LED-WORLD-FC60M51
