TURN POWER ON AT CIRCUIT BREAKER
Shift in
brightness
• Ensure an appropriate gauge of
wire is installed between strip light
and LED driver. See VOLTAGE
DROP CHARTS.
Some LEDs
are not
functional
• Ensure strip light has not been bent
excessively, which could damage
circuitry.
• Ensure strip light has not been
submerged in any liquid for any
amount of time.
Lights are
ickering
• Ensure a compatible driver and/or
dimming control is installed. Check
for loose connections.
Lights are
turning on/o󰀨
repeatedly
• Ensure driver is not overloaded. An
overloaded driver will trip the internal
auto-reset (of driver) repeatedly,
turning the system on/o󰀨.
NEON BLAZE™RGB LED Strip Light may be bent to resemble
neon lighting. Examples below:
Side emitting NEON BLAZE™RGB LED Strip Light may be bent
“Left and Right” on the horizontal axis of the Strip Light.

24V Voltage Drop & Wire Length Distance Chart
Example: 24V Voltage Drop & Wire Length Distance Chart
Determine load size. Let’s assume
load is 55 W. Round up to nearest
load.
1
Determine distance from driver
to load. Let’s assume the
distance is 90 ft.
2
It is recommended to install 12 AWG to
eliminate excess voltage drop.

VOLTAGE DROP CHARTS
For best performance and lumen output, ensure proper wire gauge is installed to compensate for voltage drop of low voltage circuits.
