IMPORTANT 

VERIFY CORRECT

LUMINAIRE WAS RECEIVED WITH

CORRECT COLOR TEMPERATURE 

AND VOLTAGE BEFORE CUTTING

OR INSTALLING.

BE RESPONSIBLE IF INCORRECT

LUMINAIRE IS INSTALLED.

•  Electric compound miter saw
•  14.4 to 28 volt cordless drill
•  Drill bits - concrete or wood
•  Electrical cords
•  Safety glasses
• Marker
•  Electric hammer drill (optional)

•  Phillips bits - sufficient quantity
•  Electrical three ways
•  Measuring tape
•  Chalk line
•  Sharp scissors
•  Soldering iron with kit

PRODUCT INFORMATION

•  For accent, cove, edge, under cabinet lighting
•  24 volts DC for easy and safe installation
•  Long life, energy efficient LEDs
•  Maximum run based on 5 Amps: 21’ (5.5W), 26’ (4.5W)
  For class II applications: 17’ (5.5W), 21’ (4.5W)
•  Can be ordered to specific lengths for easier installation when exact
  dimensions are known (Example: 10x10’6”)
•  Plug and light system                       
•  Lead wires are typically 33” long and exit on one end

ELECTRICAL

•  LipLEDs products require a 24 volt DC remote 

trans

FORMER

•  To calculate transformers size find watts per foot
  (Example: 4.5W per foot)
•  Determine length in feet  (Example: 10’)
•  Calculate Load: Multiply Watts per Foot x Length in Feet
    (Example: 4.5W x 10’= 45W)
•  Choose an electronic 

trans

FORMER from catalog (Example: TRA60-E)

•  Determine maximum distance using Maximum Wire Length Table 
  (Example: 45 watts is between 40W and 80W. Using #14 wire, 
    maximum distance is 37’ from 

trans

FORMER to first LED)

INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

•  LipLEDs LED tape must be mechanically attached
    directly to mounting surface using mounting clips or channels
•  Conduit raceway should be sleeved at one end for low voltage wires
