Introduction
Thank you for choosing Lyyt Tube Light as part of your decorative lighting installation.
This product has been designed to add light and colour to indoor or outdoor areas for
displays, architectural highlights and themed installations. Please use the following guide to
avoid incorrect installation and get the best results from Lyyt Tube Light.

Tube Light Installation Guide
Construction
Tube light comprises a continuous chain of miniature light bulbs (sometimes called “rice bulbs”
because of their shape), encased in an inner PVC extrusion with an outer coating of coloured
PVC which is resistant to water-ingress, impact and UV degradation. The product is supplied
as a 45m roll and can be cut to length as required. The power lead is sold separately.
Storage and Handling
Keep unused rolls or part-rolls in a clean and dry environment. Protect cut ends, if necessary,
with end caps and/or tape. Do not store in freezing temperatures or extreme heat as this can
affect the strength and flexibility of the PVC containment when it is being installed.

ensure all connections are sealed before connecting to the power supply.
•Lyyt Tube Light is IP44 water-resistant and can be used outdoors. Do not submerge or
install the Tube Light in water and keep away from constant flow or jets of water.

Tube Light Installation Guide
Installation
Lyyt Tube Light can be attached to building surfaces, frameworks, suspended or laid into
channels as required. Mounting clips are available which can be screwed in place to fix the
Tube Light to various surfaces and shape it to follow architectural details or specific designs.
Tube Light must be completely uncoiled and should be installed without any overlapping
loops. Do not completely enclose the Tube Light and allow space for ventilation and cooling.
Do not cover or apply heavy stresses to the PVC containment.
Tube Light can be cut to length at the indicated cutting points at 1 metre intervals along the
length of its outer PVC covering. Use a sharp knife or shears to ensure a clean cut.
Likewise, cut lengths or entire rolls of Tube Light can be coupled or spliced together using the
optional 2-pin couplers that can be purchased separately (see “Available accessories”above).
Note: The maximum length that can be connected together is 90m, or 2 complete rolls.
To maintain the water-resistant protection of the product and to insulate the mains voltage
carried through the Tube Light, all cut ends and joints must be sealed using silicone glue and
heat-shrink tubing. See instructions on the following page
For straight runs, plastic channel is available in 2 metre lengths and can be installed to hold
the tube light firmly in a straight line.
Tube Light can also be fitted around corners with a minimum bend radius
of 60mmØ. (Any attempt to force the Tube Light to follow a smaller radius
can result in damage to the integrity of the PVC insulation, rice bulbs or
connections between them). It is advised to connect the power lead and
end cap (see below) and power up the Tube Light for a short time to
soften it before making such sharp bends. Avoid bending the Tube Light at
any jointed connections.
Connection
The power lead is supplied with a 2-pin connector with rounded pins on one side and spikes
on the other side. The spikes should be pushed into the cut end of the Tube Light where the
ends of the 2 internal wires can be seen. This is to ensure a good electrical connection.

Tube Light Installation Guide
Slide the supplied heat-shrink tubing over the connector and Tube Light and push the rounded
pins into the corresponding sockets inside the shroud (either way around is OK). Apply silicone
glue where the Tube light emerges from the shroud and slide the heat-shrink tubing back over
this joint area. Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing onto the joint area to ensure a good seal.
For any jointed lengths of Tube Light, follow the procedure as above. Slide the heat-shrink
tubing over the Tube Light. Firmly insert the 2 spike pins either side of the coupler into the
wires at the cut ends of each length of Tube Light, apply silicone glue around the joint. Slide
the heat-shrink tubing back over the joint and shrink it onto the joint with a heat gun.
At the end of the Tube light run, apply silicone glue to the end
face and slide an end cap over it to keep it water-resistant and
insulate the internal wires. Allow joints to cure for 24 hours
before operating in moist or humid conditions.
