INTRODUCTION

WELCOME

Welcome to the Flex Tube Mini from Acclaim Lighting. These compact and flexible LED 
powered strips produce a greatly homogenized light output along their full length to 
provide a viable alternative to other linear light sources, such as neon or cold cathode. 
Designed from the outset for external applications, Flex Tube Mini strips are rated to IP67 
and are built to order, in lengths ranging from 3.28” (83.34mm) to 49.2’ (15m).
In addition to the length, models are categorized by three core options: 

 

The axis in which the tube can be curved, 

 

The direction of entry for the power feed, and 

 

The color of the LED emitters: 

◊  White: 2200K, 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K or 5700K
◊  Red
◊  Green
◊  Blue
◊  Amber

Please see page 3 for option details.
A range of dimming driver and static power supply options are available from Acclaim 
Lighting. See the section “Connecting and controlling Flex Tubes” on page 7 and also

 for further details. 

SAFETY

 

When fixtures are mounted off-ground, ensure they are securely fitted to an appropriate 
mounting surface.  

 

Ensure that the power input is supplied from a correctly fused, earthed and 
environmentally protected location.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Always isolate mains power before starting maintenance operations.

 

Ensure that all mounting (and device) screws/bolts are fully tight and free of corrosion.

 

Ensure there is no deformation to the housing, lenses or fixing points.

 

Check that all power supply cables are free from physical damage or material fatigue.

 

Use only genuine spare parts supplied by Acclaim Lighting.

CLEANING

 

Use a moist, lint-free cloth when cleaning each fixture.

 

Never use alcohol or solvents.
