Product
Max Run Length
DL-FLEX2-NPX-TW
16’
Note –For dimming applications refer to the spec sheet and the wiring diagrams below.
2. Turn off electricity
Before beginning installation, switch circuit breaker off or remove fuse.
3. Determine location to install components
Refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS
4. Prepare LED flexible tape for installation
Cut the LED strip to desired lengths as required for your application. Only cut the LED strips along the designated
cut line as shown. Cutting anywhere else will damage the LED light strip.
5. Optional – Assemble Crystal Connectors
See CRYSTAL CONNECTOR INSTRUCTIONS on page 6 and 7.
6. Mount the LED Flexible tape
Clean the mounting surface. Remove backing on the flexible tape to expose adhesive (ensure ambient temperature
is minimum 50°F for proper adhesion). Carefully press the flexible tape to the mounting surface. Avoid pressing on
the yellow phosphor or any electrical component, avoid using excessive force and avoid pinching. When bending
tighter than a 1” radius, do so only at the cut mark.

Install the mounting clips to the mounting surface (1 clip per 24 inches is recommended). Clean the channel
surface. Remove backing on the flexible tape to expose adhesive. Carefully press the flexible tape into the
aluminum channel. Avoid pressing on the LEDs or any electrical component, avoid using excessive force and
avoid pinching. Insert the channel into the mounting clips.
b) Optional – Install Aluminum Channel Lens Cover
After inserting the flexible tape, align the channel cover with the aluminum channel. Carefully press the lens into
the aluminum channel. The lens will snap into place. Do not use excessive force.
c) Optional – Insert Aluminum Channel End Caps for finished look. Live end cap for power feed end and dead end
cap finishes for the other end.

7. Connect Power Supply
Using the power connector, connect to the power supply.. Ensure the wires are connected correctly by observing the
polarity.
NOTE: Each reel comes with input hardwire power connectors pre-assembled to one end of the reel.
WIRING DIAGRAMS
NOTE: Vertical mounting recommended for LED drivers
NOTE: Leave at least 1” spacing between LED drivers to allow for airflow to prevent heat buildup
NOTE: Leave the power connector with enough slack to account for expansion and contraction due to tempearature changes

CRYSTAL CONNECTOR INSTRUCTIONS:
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER FEED OR CONNECTING CABLE
1. Peel back about ½” of the double-sided adhesive cover at the back of
the LED strip. Then push the strip into the gap, making sure that the
polarity matches. Red is + and Black is -.
2. Make sure the LED strip is pushed all the way in and the edge of the
LED strip reach the inner wall of the connector.
3. Use tools to clamp down on the conductors protruding from the top of
the connector so that the pins on the conductor pierce the copper pads on
the LED strip.
4. Once the conductors are flush with the top of the connector, the
connection is complete.
