WARNING

When using LED Lightstrip for any application, basic safety precautions should 

always be followed to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, and personal 

injury. LED Lightstrip must be installed in accordance with the NEC or CEC as 

applicable. ALUZ will not be responsible for any damage or malfunction caused 

by the following:

•  Ensure power is off before installation begins, during replacements, additions,

or repairs.

•  Do not use LED Lightstrip if damaged, such as broken boards, loose connections, 

or frayed wire insulation. Inspect before installing.

• Do not install LED Lightstrip in hazardous locations.

•  Do not cover LED Lightstrip with any material, as it may cause LEDs to overheat, 

melt, or ignite. 

(Fig. 1)

•  Do not paint on or over fi xture lens or LEDs.

Paint or any other substance on lens or LEDs will cause a shift in color 

temperature.

• Soffi t must be evenly painted with a neutral white to avoid color shift.

• Do not modify LED Lightstrip in the fi eld.

• Do not overlap LED Lightstrip luminaires in any way.

•  Only use LED Lightstrip with specifi ed rated voltages. Do not exceed the specifi ed 

voltage for any LED Lightstrip luminaire.

•  Do not use LED Lightstrip extrusion as a raceway for additional wire. Non-factory 

feed through wires inside LED Lightstrip will void warranty.

•  Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protections should be provided on circuits 

or outlets when LED Lightstrip is used for outdoor applications.

•  Surge protector must be set up for electrical power system to avoid damaging 

LED Lightstrip lighting system.

• Do not connect wires together, follow provided wiring diagrams.

• Do not cut wire while energized.

•  Do not connect LED Lightstrip to power source while spooled or

coiled.

 (Fig. 2)

• Do not exceed maximum run lengths.

•  Do not mount LED Lightstrip with staples, nails, or like means that might 

damage the insulation.

Mount with double-sided tape and mounting clips.

• Do not install mounting clips over LED diodes.

 (Fig. 3)

• Do not penetrate LED Lightstrip with any foreign object. 

(Fig. 4)

• Do not mount LED Lightstrip inside tanks or enclosures of any kind.

•  Do not use improper screw head type on mounting clips. It will cause the 

mounting clip to open up and become dysfunctional.

• Do not modify mounting clips.

•  Do not mount fi xture with less than the minimum number of mounting

clips required. See mounting clips section for details.

• Do not force LED Lightstrip into a space that is too small.

• Do not force LED Lightstrip with cord grip into soffi t.

•  Do not install LED Lightstrip at an angle within a cove. Only install fi xtures 

straight within a cove.

• Do not bend extrusion around radius.

• Do not submerge dry or wet location LED Lightstrip in any liquid.

• Do not install wet location in outdoor coves without proper drainage.

 (Fig. 5)

•  Do not install LED Lightstrip in any area that is continuously exposed to flowing 

or pooling water, such as underneath drain pipes, sprinklers, fountains, misters, etc.

• Do not install connectors without shrink tube for wet location. 

(Fig. 6)

• Do nut use a lighter or open flame to heat shrink tube. 

(Fig. 7)

•  Do not cut, puncture, or penetrate LED Lightstrip aluminum housing, end caps, or 

lens covers.

• Do not drop, bang, or rest weight upon LED Lightstrip.

•  Do not apply excessive pressure to any part of LED Lightstrip or LEDs. 

(Fig. 8)

•  Do not bend LED Lightstrip power cord or continuous connector past permitted 

bend radius. Bending past permitted bend radius will break the seal of the 

cordgrip or damage the insulation. 1.5” minimum bend radius. 

(Fig. 9)

• Do not install LED Lightstrip in a zig zag fashion. 

(Fig. 10)

• Do not fold, crease, or twist LED Lightstrip. 

(Fig. 11)

• Do not bend lightstrip along a horizontal plane. 

(Fig. 12)

• Do not overlap LED Lightstrip at any location. 

(Fig. 13)

• Do not cross or overlap extrusions and twist lightstrip to overlap. 

(Fig. 14)

•  Do not install LED Lightstrip in places where the power cord is subject to 

continuous flexing.

• Do not twist continuous connector or power cord.

• Do not hold, carry, or suspend LED Lightstrip by the power cord.

• Do not install LED Lightstrip on ceilings without mounting clips.
