LED72 - PRODUCT INFORMATION
WARNING! Read this section before any installation work is carried out.
All work should be carried out as per our instructions. Failure to do so may
damage the unit and other products associated with it and void any warranty.
INSTALLATION
All work involving electrical components should be carried out
by a competent qualied electrical professional in accordance to
NICEIC and IET BS 7671 wiring regulations and any local by laws.
Ensure all mains power is turned off before starting any installation
or maintenance; and remains off for the duration of installation or
maintenance.
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of in domestic waste.
Please check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
We are only able to offer advice and installation instruction on our own
products, we are unable to offer individual advice on other manufactures
products. You are required and responsible for ensuring that the
specication of this product is compatible with other products from other
manufactures.
Please ensure that all products used in your installation are complete,
correct and compatible before starting any installation. Failure to do so
may result in damaged products, our warranty does not cover damage
caused by or to any other manufactures products.

This LED tape is NOT mains voltage. Do not exceed the LED ribbons
maximum voltage.
You must use 12V DC LED drivers for 12V LED tape or 24V DC LED
drivers for 24V LED tape. You should check the correct LED driver is
used before starting installation, incorrect drivers may damage the LED
tape beyond repair. You can nd the voltage of your LED tape printed
on the strip.
Your LED driver will have a maximum load. Do not put more load through
the LED driver than the maximum load. Our LED drivers maximum load
are rated by wattage.
To calculate the minimum wattage of your LED driver for your LED tape
use the following this equation:
Wattage of
LED tape per
Metre
X
Total Length
of LED Tape in
Metres
=
Total
Wattage
Required of
LED Driver
e.g 14.4 X 2 = 28.8W
Ensure your LED drivers maximum load is greater than Total Wattage
Required of LED Driver from the above equation.
VOLTAGE, DRIVERS & MAXIMUM LOAD
MOUNTING SURFACE
LED tape is not designed to be attached directly to a non conductive
surface such as wood, brick, paper, plaster or plastic. Doing so may
reduced the life of the LED.
It is recommended to use aluminum backing on all LED tape. Other
options are available but please contact us for advice.
On some materials the self adhesive strip may require additional
adhesive. We recommend a grab adhesive.
CORNERS & BENDS
LED tape is exible, however it will not make 90º bends. Trying to force
the LED tape to make these bends may damage the LED circuit board,
causing some or all LEDs to stop working. To make 90º beds you should
create a link between two LED tapes.
IP rated tape will have reduced exibility compared to non IP rated tape.
CUTTING
You must always cut LED tape along the cut points. The cut point is
indicated by the scissor mark.
When cutting IP rated ribbon you should ensure a good heat shrink is
applied to maintain the IP rating of the ribbon. Failure to do so will result
in reduced or no IP rated protection.
Cutting the LED tape anywhere else other than along the cut point will
stop the LED tape working.
MAXIMUM RUN LENGTH
The maximum run length of 12V LED tape is 5 metres, 24V LED tape is
10 metres. The maximum length of a y lead is 10 metres. You should
not exceed these lengths in one continuous run. Doing so may cause
voltage drop and result in reduced brightness.
To create longer runs, wire multiple lengths in parallel to the LED driver.
IP PROTECTION
IP20 & IP33 LED tape can be installed in dry environments and has no
water rated protection.
IP65 & IP67 LED tape can be installed in moderate wet environments
and has splash water protection.
