WARNING: These products may represent a possible shock or re 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 this product only with its attached plug-in power cord. Any other power cord or
feed may damage the xture.
WARNINGS: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START:
CAUTION - To reduce risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons, pay close attention to
this manual and stay within its guidelines when using this product. Before use, note that this
product requires a 120V AC outlet. Ensure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible!
120V LED Hybrid 2 is c/ETL/us Listed, but this safety rating is void if 150ft reel is cut.
1. Do not cover this product as the covering may cause rope to overheat, melt, or ignite.
2. Do not operate Hybrid 2 while it is tightly coiled.
3. Do not submerge exible light in liquids, or use the product in the vicinity of standing water or other liquids.
4. Do not route the cord or Hybrid 2 through walls, ceilings, doors, windows, or any similar part of the building structure.
5. Secure this exible light using only the mounting clips provided or factory recommended mounting track (sold separately).
6. Do not secure this product or its cord with staples, nails, or like means that may damage the insulation.
7. Do not use if there is any damage to the PVC housing or power cord insulation. Inspect periodically.
8. Do not install on gates or doors, where subject to continuous exing.
9. Do not install in tanks or enclosures of any kinds.
10. Follow instructions carefully when splicing Hybrid 2 sections or attaching power cords. Ensure that all connections,
including the end cap on the last segment, are properly installed with dielectric grease and shrink tube to preclude the
entrance of water (outdoor applications).
11. Risk of re. Do not replace attachment plug. Discard product if attachment plug is damaged.
12. This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not t, contact a qualied electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter plug.
13. 120V Hybrid 2 is c/ETL/us Listed, but this safety rating is void if the 150ft reel is cut. Hybrid 2 can only be cut at specic
intervals as indicated by the cutting marks printed on the side of the PVC housing. Failure to cut at a cut mark, will result in a
loss of light. Before making any cuts or attaching any power cords or jumpers, be sure power source is disconnected!
14. This product is designed for use by a qualied installer.
15. This product is for decorative use only. Not to be used by children as a toy. Keep out of reach of small children.
16. Do not exceed 150ft maximum run distance in any single run.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons:
WARNING: When using outdoor portable lighting products, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock,
and personal injury, including the following:
1. Use dielectric grease and shrink tube at all power connections, including end cap
when using outdoors.
2. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)
when using outdoors.
3. Use only UL approved outdoor extension cords, such as type SW, SOW, STW, STOW, SJW,
SJOW, SJTW, or SJTOW. This designation is marked on the jacket of the extension cord.
TO REPLACE FUSE (SEE FIGURE 1):
This plug contains an electrical fuse as a safety feature.
1. Disconnect power before replacing the fuse.
2. Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device.
3. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
4. Slide open the fuse access cover. See Figure 1.
5. Remove old fuse carefully.
6. Never attempt to replace the fuse with a higher wattage fuse. Use only 8 Amp
125 Volt fuse. Failure to do so may be a re hazard. (One spare fuse is included/
stored inside plug for convenience.)
7. Set new fuse in holder and close fuse access cover.

NOTE: Do not exceed 150ft maximum run distance in any single run.
For outdoor use, apply silicone when making power connection and attaching end cap.
Secure attached power cord by tightening threaded collar to Hybrid 2 before installing.
1. Determine the required length for exible light.
2. Cut the Hybrid 2 squarely at the nearest cut mark using a sharp rope light cutting tool
or shears. See Figure 2. NOTE: Hybrid 2 is wired in parallel with 18” cutting increments.
Cutting anywhere other than the end/beginning of a cutting increment will damage an
LED and/or internal wiring.
3. Holding the smooth pins of the power pin with a pair of pliers, line up the barbed pins
with the two wires of the exible light. Push barbed pins into Hybrid 2 until ush, being
sure to make solid contact with the exible light’s internal wires. See Figure 3.
4. Slide the shrink tube over power cord sheath. See Figure 4.
5. Push the power cord sheath onto the assembly until fully seated and slide the heat shrink
tube over the power cord sheath so that it is centered over the junction of the Hybrid 2 and
the power cord sheath. See Figure 4.
6. Gently apply heat using a heat gun to seal the heat shrink over the connection.
7. Attach end cap to other end of exible light to cover exposed dead end.
MOUNTING:
1. Use mounting clips included with the bulk reel (or order additionally H2-CLIPS, sold separately) or for straight line
applications, use H2-TRACK-3 mounting track (sold separately); or use a combination of methods. H2-CHAN-3 aluminum
channel is also available (sold separately).
2. Make sure that the distance between any two parallel runs of lighting are at least 1/2”apart.
3. Gently press exible light into track or clips so that it snaps into place.
DO NOT TWIST, HANG VERTICALLY, SUSPEND UNSUPPORTED IN THE MIDDLE OR BEND ALONG SHORT SIDE:
PROP 65 WARNING:
Handling the coated electrical wires of this product exposes you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.
