LED LIGHTSTRIP
• Extrusions are shipped to exact length of specifi ed measurements.
• Due to cut increment restrictions (4”,+/- 0.125” Tolerance), the lightstrip
is shipped to the closest measurement ordered. The lightstrip must be
centered in the extrusion.
• Remove adhesive backing completely to allow heat transfer tape to
make contact with the aluminum extrusion.
NOTE
• Follow the below diagrams and steps if applicable to your installation.
• LED lightstrip and modules require a team effort to ensure a secure
and correct installation.
• Use a wire puller stand to prevent tangles, twists, and snags.
• For Mud-In applications, start lightstrip from power source side and
allow up to 2” of excess lightstrip to exit through end cap.

SOLDERING GUIDE
1
Cut lightstrip to desired length. Include both sets of solder pads by
cutting to the left or right of designated markings, allowing more
space for soldering.
2
Prepare wires by stripping 1/8” from the end of each wire, then tin
the tips of the wire with solder. Apply heat to stripped portion of
wire, then add a small amount of solder until stripped portion of
wire is fully covered in solder.
3
If applicable, use a mat knife to remove encapsulation from
the section of lightstrip with solder pads. If lightstrip is not
encapsulated, skip this step.
5
If applicable, apply silicone over soldered connections. All
connections must be completely covered with silicone to create
weatherproof seal. Only use outdoor rated silicone. If lightstrip is
not encapsulated, skip this step.
Note:
Appearance of lightstrip may differ from example shown.
Refer to wiring diagrams before soldering any wires.
4
Solder lead wires to solder pads on the end of lightstrip.
• Solder the Black wire to the pad marked “+24V”.
• Solder the Green wire to the pad marked “G”.
• Solder the Red wire to the pad marked “R”.
• Solder the Blue wire to the pad marked “B”.
• Solder the White wire to the pad marked “W”.
Note:
Solder iron not to exceed 720°F. Heat joint with tip of iron.
Heat both the solder pad and the wire. Add a small drop of solder
on the tip of solder iron to transfer the heat to joint quickly; it
should melt and flow smoothly, covering the wire and pad.
Remove iron once enough solder has been added to the
components. Allow 5 seconds for the joint to cool.
