Installation Instruction
HINT: We highly suggest measuring the installation area and making any custom lengths to light prior to installing.
STEP 1:
Unpackage light strips and test fit for length. Leave strips lying in a
clean environment. You can cut every few inches on the dotted line with the
scissor symbol if they need to be shortened. Using the end caps supplied,
silicone the end caps over the cut end and discard remainder of strip. Drill
hole for power wire if required.
STEP 2:
Clean mounting surface with an alcohol swab, removing oils and moisture.
Make sure cleaned area is dry. HINT: Tape off the area next to where the
lights are to be installed for protection and a cleaner look
STEP 3:
Support the power wire end of the strip_ This can be done in a few ways:
-
* Using the rubber clips supplied_
- Using Weld-On’ tabs (NOT SUPPLIED).
- Temporarily w/ painter tape (NOT SUPPLIED
STEP 4:
Embed the back side of the lights in a constant bead of PLASH 2100 RTV
Marine Silicone Sealant (Sold Separately).
STEP 5:
Gently apply the lights to the area to be mounted. Do not allow the lights
to have a strain on them. An assistant or blue painters tape can be helpful,
Wipe away excess sealant.
STEP 6:
Gently apply the lights to the area to be mounted. Do not allow the lights
to have a strain on them. An assistant or blue painters tape can be helpful,
Wipe away excess sealant.
STEP 7:
Go back to the power wire end, remove suppo install silicone, and re-
install support.
STEP 8:
Reviews entire strip for gaps in silicone, sagging, excess silicone, etc.
STEP 9:
Allow silicone to dry for 24 hours before any movement or vibration. After
the silicone has cured inspect LED light strips to insure there is no
movement_ LED strip lights should be 100% adhered.
STEP 10: Cut off excess power wire. The shorter the lead the better. Connent to the proper power supply. Connection details. (see diagrams on reverse)

TROUBLE SHOOTING
LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE
- Make sure the DC power supply is turned on and receiving power.
- Check fuse.
- Confirm you have maintained correct polarity (1 to
- and – to I when connecting lights as well as Check all light connections and any switch or dimmer connections from the power supply to the
- Test with a multimeter to ensure light is receiving the 12V or 24V DC power.
- If RGB W confirm that the APP is turned on
ONLY PART OF LIGHT IS LIT:
- Check connections to the part of the light that is not lit
- Confirm that the voltage input is 12V / 24V.
- If the above items are confirmed, then the light strip has been damaged. Don’t worry…. we can fix it but ou will need to send it back to us.
LED’s FARTHEST FROM THE POWER SUPPLY ARE NOTICEABLY DIMMER:
- This is is t e resu t o vo tage
- rop. Decrease t e engt o t el or 24V DC power feed wires or use thicker power feed wires between the 12 or 24V DC power supply and the lights.
