codes, and/or the current National Electric Code (NEC).
SAFETY INFORMATION
• Read all installation instructions before beginning; if not qualified, do not 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 product to overheat, melt, or ignite.
• Risk of fire or electric shock. Uncoil flexible light prior to plugging in. Do not operate 12V AC Neon while it is tightly coiled.
• Do not route the cord or 12V AC Neon through walls, ceilings, doors, windows, or any similar part of the building structure.
• Secure this flexible light using only the included factory recommended mounting clips or channel (NFL-RGBW-FCHAN-1M), 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 silicone housing or power cord insulation. Inspect periodically.
• Do not install on gates or doors, where subject to continuous flexing.
• Do not install near flammable liquids or other flammable materials.
• Follow instructions carefully when cutting 12V AC Neon. Ensure all end caps are properly sealed with appropriate silicone or Silicone type glue.
• 12V AC Neon can only be cut at specific intervals as indicated by the cutting marks printed on the side of the Silicone housing (31.25mm or 1.23”). Fail-
ure to cut at a cut mark will result in a loss of light. Before making any cuts or attaching any power cords, be sure power source is
disconnected at the source!
• This product is designed for use by a qualified installer.
• This product is for decorative use only. Not to be used by children as a toy. Keep out of reach of small children.
• The rated ambient temperature range for 12V AC Neon is -4°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F).
• The maximum bend radius of 12V AC Neon is 24cm or 11.8”. Do not twist, drop, hang, sag, or bend product in any way other than intended. This prod-
uct can only bend laterally in relation to its light output. See Figure 1 below for reference.
• WARNING - KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN! Batteries are not a toy!
• The handheld remote control included utilizes a 3V CR2025 battery; If swallowed, it could cause severe injury or death in just 2 hours due to
chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, immediately seek
urgent medical assistance.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode or leak. Please dispose of used batteries immediately and safely. Only replace with the
same battery type.
• Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do
not use if compartment is not secure.
FIGURE 1 Lighted Surface
When using outdoor portable lighting products, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
• Use dielectric grease and shrink tube at all power connections, including end cap when using outdoors.
• Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) when using outdoors.
• 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.

INSTALLING 12V AC NEON:
Disconnect power at the source prior to attempting installation or
service of product. Use this fixture with included power cable and 12V
AC rectifier only. Any other power feed may damage the fixture.
1. Determine the desired locations and lengths of 12V AC Neon, as well
as the location for the RF receiver and 12V AC rectifier, to be
installed. Use this information to determine locations and sizes of 12V
DC power supplies (sold separately).
2. Install mounting clips or aluminum channel (NFPROL-FCHAN-1M) by
screwing into a solid, sturdy surface. See Figure 2. Mounting clips
should be evenly spaced and a maximum of 3 feet apart. Two parallel
lines of 12V AC Neon must be at least 1/2” apart.
3. Gently push the 12V AC Neon into the mounting clips or channel
starting at the beginning of the run and moving down the line towards
the end. Leave enough room for the power cable to reach the power
supply. End caps cannot be installed within the aluminum channel.
See Figure 3. Ensure the NeoFlux does not sag and does not bend
more than the maximum bend radius of 24cm at any point.
4. Connect the RF Receiver to the beginning of the 12V AC Neon run
using the preinstalled power cable. See Figure 4.
5. Connect the 12V DC power supply to line voltage and then connect
to 12V AC rectifier using bare wire lead.
6. Reconnect power at source.

CUTTING 12V AC NEON:
Disconnect power at the source prior to attempting installation or
service of product.
1. Determine the location of the cut based on the cutting increments
marked on the bottom of the 12V AC Neon (31.25mm or 1.23”).
2. Using an appropriate utility blade, gently cut straight down through
the 12V AC Neon directly on the cutting increment mark. Do not use
scissors or bolt cutters. Do not cut diagonally or horizontally as this
may damage the product. See Figure 5.
3. Seal cut-end using included end cap and an appropriately rated
silicone or Silicone glue (not included). See Figure 6.
