Installation (continued)
4 Preparing the assembly location
□Power the LED tape lighting and temporarily hold or tape into position with painter’s tape or masking tape –
do not remove the adhesive paper backing.
□Adjust the lighting to various angles and positions to get the desired level of illumination and lighting
appearance. If the LEDs create undesirable light spots on walls, or reections, reposition the tape light
strip farther away from surfaces or try a different mounting angle.
□Once you have determined your nal mounting position, remove any dirt and dust present where the tape
will be applied. Mounting surfaces should be clean, completely dry, and as dust-free as possible. For
best results, install when temperatures are above 60ºF (15ºC). When installing on painted surfaces, paint
should be fully cured based on manufacturer’s cure time.
5 Installing the LED strip
□Working from one end to the other, remove the paper backing protecting the adhesive and rmly press
the LED tape (B) down with your ngers or a clean cloth, taking care not to press on the individual LEDs.
□Support and secure the power cables leading to the tape light with the included wire support clips.
NOTE: Although the LED tape can be installed in curved and irregular spaces, avoid sharp bends or bending on the
solder joints as you could damage the LED tape light. If an LED is inadvertently damaged and fails to light, the remaining
LEDs will continue to operate.
6 Installing the power supply
IMPORTANT: Do not power the LED tape while on the reel, as the LEDs will overheat.
□Connect the AC power cord to a live outlet.
□If connected to a switched outlet, be sure the power is switched ON for proper remote operation.

Installation (continued)
7 Direct wiring the power supply (optional)
WARNING: Disconnect power by unplugging the power cord or turning off the circuit breaker before removing the
power supply end caps.
WARNING: Do not use standard 120-volt AC dimmers with this power supply. Only use the integrated RF dimmer
supplied with this kit.
IMPORTANT: All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes, low-voltage Class 2 circuit. If
you are unclear as to how to install and wire this product, consult a qualied professional.
□When the power supply end caps are removed, the input and output cables can be removed by loosening
the screws on the power supply cable connector terminal block.
□Removing the low-voltage output cable from the power supply will allow cable runs through cabinets and
around any obstacles as needed for a more custom installation. When reinstalling the cables to the power
supply, be sure to follow the polarity printed on the case (red wire to +, black to -).
□To direct wire, remove the AC input cable/plug and connect black live wire from a branch circuit to the
line side (L) of the built-in terminal block and connect the white neutral wire to the neutral side of the
terminal block (N), as indicated on the case. This LED power supply uses Class II AC inputs with a fully
isolated case; ground wire should not be connected.
□Before restoring power, make sure all connections are tight and the endcaps are reinstalled securely.
□The 12-volt power cable to the tape lighting can be shortened or lengthened as needed. 18AWG is
recommended when lengthening this cable; keep wire runs as short as possible. Always use suitable wire
connectors to meet installation requirements.
□Use the optional screw-tabs for mounting securely when needed, for example, underneath a kitchen
cabinet.

Mounting Options
1 Installing under a cabinet
□To surface mount the LED tape light under a
set of cabinets in one continuous run, you may
need to drill a 1/2 in. hole through any cabinet
side lip that may be present. Install LED tape
light through the hole and surface mount as a
continuous run.
□For maximum light output and to focus light
on the work surface, mount the tape light
1-2 inches behind the front cabinet lip. This
mounting position works best with dull or
matte finished countertops.
The LED tape has a wide
beam angle
□To eliminate bright spots from highly reflective
countertops, mount the tape light on the inside
back of the cabinet lip frame facing towards
your backsplash. Because of the wide beam
angle of the tape light, this mounting position
will still provide ample lighting.
Mount on inside of cabinet
lip to reduce reflections
□When mounting under a cabinet or a shelf with
no lip to hide the LED tape light strip, create a
visual barrier using a piece of quarter round
molding or any angle trim to hide the LEDs.
2 Creating above cabinet
uplighting
□Most cabinet tops have uneven surfaces. To
create indirect uplighting over cabinets, simply
mount the LED tape on any rigid strip (e.g.,
thin lattice or corner guard molding) and place
on top of cabinets. Angle the strip position to
achieve the desired illumination.
□For a seamless glow and to avoid bright light
spots, move the LED tape light strip further from
adjacent walls.
