attempt installation. Contact a qualified electrician.

•  To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, pay close 

attention to this manual and stay within its guidelines when using this 

product. Save these instructions for future use.

•  Do not cover this product as the covering may cause rope to overheat, 

melt, or ignite.

•  Do not operate Trulux on the reel, nor while it is coiled.

•  This IP54 rated tape light is suitable for indoor use in dry and damp 

locations, but not for direct contact with water or moisture Do not 

submerge flexible light in liquids, or use the product in the vicinity of 

standing water or other liquids, or where water can accumulate.

•  Do not route the cord or tape light through walls, ceilings, doors, 

windows, or any similar part of the building structure.

•  Secure tape light using only the mounting clips provided or factory 

recommended mounting track (sold separately).

•  Do not secure this product or its cord with staples, nails, or like means 

that may damage the outer jacket or cord insulation.

•  Do not use if there is any damage to the tape light, diodes or power cord 

insulation; inspect periodically.

•  Do not install on gates or doors, or where subject to continuous flexing.

•  Do not install in tanks or enclosures of any kinds.

•  Size your 24V DC driver appropriately for your run distance. Be sure not 

to load a driver to 100% as this will reduce its efficiency; a 90% maximum 

load is recommended. See SELECTING POWER SUPPLY on page 2 and 

use driver chart as directed. HTMR Series tape light is not compatible 

with LP-DR series drivers. Recommended operation is with LED-DR 

series or ELV series drivers only.

hazard if improperly installed or attached in any way. 

Products should be installed in accordance with these 

instructions, current electrical codes, and/or the current 

National Electric Code (NEC). 

Use only with 24V DC drivers with a wattage capacity 

that can handle the total load; see page 2 for more 

details. Factory warranty will be void if used with a non-

recommended power supply, transformer or driver.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to 

persons, make sure that the electrical power to the 

system is disconnected at the source prior to installation 

or any servicing.

Never fold Trulux® or bend past the minimum bending 

radius of 1” whether lighted or unlighted.

Risk of fire or injury to persons: HTMR Series tape light is 

not compatible with LP-DR series drivers. Recommended

PRODUCT INFORMATION 

HTMR reels include (3) 4-in-1 connector blocks and (3) connector kits (TL-CONKITs) which have 3 feet of 18AWG lead wire attached to each 

block. Mount tape light using the 3M® VHB adhesive. Once the VHB protective backing is removed, the tape should be placed on the prepared 

mounting surface and not be repositioned, removed, or re-used. For best results, let adhesive cure 24 hours prior to first use.

Trulux® controllers are available to dim and control power to single color Trulux®. They use Radio Frequency (RF) signals that are detected by a 

receiver. Each controller requires a receiver (REC-5A-4Z, sold separately). See controller instructions for more details.
