MICROLUX
STATIC WHITE
24V
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MLUX-30 & MLUX-40
MOUNTING MICROLUX (Figure 1):
Disconnect power at the source prior to attempting installation or service
of product.
1. Determine the desired locations and lengths of MicroLux to be
installed. Use this information to determine locations and sizes of
24V DC power supplies.
2. Install mounting clips or aluminum channel (MLUX-CLIPS, MLUX-
CHAN-3A,. or MLUX-CHAN-3B) by screwing the clip or channel into
a solid, sturdy surface. See Figure 1. Mounting clips should be evenly
spaced and be a maximum of 3 feet apart. The distance between
two parallel lines of MicroLux must be at least 1/2”.
3. Gently push the MicroLux into the mounting clips or channel starting
at the beginning of the run and moving down the line towards the
end. Leave enough room for the power cable to reach the power
supply and for connections to reach the next piece of MicroLux. End
caps and connection points cannot be installed within the aluminum
channel. Ensure the MicroLux does not sag and does not bend more
than the maximum bend radius of 12cm at any point.
CUTTING MICROLUX (Figure 2):
Disconnect power at the source prior to attempting installation or service
of product. IP65 rating is void once product is cut. DIY connections are
intended for indoor, dry location only.
1. Determine the desired location of the cut by powering on the flexible
light and flipping the product to the underside. The cut-marks are
clearly illuminated. See Figure 2.
2. Mark the desired cut location on the bottom of the MicroLux (1.31” or
3.3mm).
3. Disconnect power from product prior to cutting.
4. Using an appropriate utility blade, gently cut straight down through
the body of the MicroLux, from the top, directly over the cutting
increment mark on the bottom of the MicroLux. Do not use scissors
or bolt cutters to cut MicroLux. Do not cut MicroLux diagonally or
horizontally as this may damage the product.
5. Seal cut-end using included end cap and an appropriately rated
silicone or PU glue (not included).
CONNECTING POWER
OR LINKING MICROLUX WITH A JUMPER (Figures 3-4):
Disconnect power at the source prior to attempting installation or service
of product. Use this fixture with included power cable and 24V DC power
supply only. Any other power feed may damage the fixture.
1. Slide transparent housing shield onto MicroLux. See Figure 3.
2. Spread apart the walls of the metal bracket. Lower and pinch tightly
closed snugly against the end of fixture.
3. Slide transparent housing shield over the metal bracket.
4. Install the plug connector so the conductive pins make contact with
the underside of the tape. Note polarity of connection.
5. Identify the polarity by looking at the bottom of the MicroLux and
how it aligns to the connector. See Figure 4.
6. Connect wires to a 24V DC driver following polarity determined in
step 5. MicroLux is also compatible with Trulux controllers/receivers.
7. If connecting to another section of MicroLux via Jumper, mirror steps
1-4 above on additional sections making sure to align polarity.
LINKING MICROLUX WITH A SPLICE CONNECTOR (Figure 5):
Disconnect power at the source prior to attempting installation or
service of product. Use this fixture with included power cable and 24V
DC power supply only. Any other power feed may damage the fixture.
1. Align two sections of MicroLux so the polarity is matched.
2. Remove a small section of the underside of either piece, about a
3/8” long. NOTE: DO NOT DAMAGE COPPER CONDUCTOR OR
FIXTURE WILL CEASE FUNCTION.
3. Butt the ends of the MIcroLux sections together, positive to positive
and negative to negative.
4. Cover the light emitting faces with the three walled transparent
shielding. The butt joint should be centered.
5. Snap the bottom of the shielding into place.
