My lights are not coming on ?
This item is not like a pre-assembled Christmas light set, and WILL NOT automatically work once plugged in straight out of the box
Please read our instructions carefully before commencing installation
LED heads are not lighting up ?
If the power to the plug socket is on, then this is likely to be a connector issue. Please follow the trouble shooting guide on page 3
What do you mean by “Connect in Sequence” ?
To avoid connection issues, we recommend that the kit is installed by working from one end of the kit to the other
Starting at the plug socket to the plug, leads, first head through to last head, finishing with the waterproof cap at the end on the last head
Can I use the RGB (colour changing) controller to control more than one kit ?
Yes, any number of RGB (colour changing kits) can be controlled by a single remote control
However, the limitation is that every receiver (the black box situated in-line after the plug connector) for each RGB kit must be positioned as
closely together as possible of each other without any barrier between
Remote controllers will work effectively within a 10m radius of the RECEIVER - NOT the last LED head
Can I dim the kit ?
White and blue kits cannot be dimmed. All RGB kits have a dimming function on the remote controller
How does the Photocell accessory work and can I use it on all kits ?
When installed between power lead and first LED head, the in-line photocell (alternatively known as a dusk ‘til dawn sensor) will turn the kit
on when it starts to get dark and off again when it starts to get light. 30 Lux on, 30 Lux off
This accessory can only be used with warm white, cool white or blue kits. It cannot be used with any RGB (colour changing) kits
For the 30 head kits and where the splitter cable accessory is used, 2 x photocells are required; one for each split set of heads.
Can I bypass the driver ?
All kits with a plug in driver have been designed for use with a specific driver and cannot be removed or wired in any other way
For kits purchased with the in-line driver, the plug can be removed and terminated into a BS junction box
This should only be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with IEE wiring regulations and current building regulations
Why are some lights dimmer than others ?
Check all connections as detailed on page 3 in troubleshooting
Ensure you have not connected extra heads to the kit. These kits are designed to only work with the number of heads included in the kit
If you have connected any extension lead accessories, ensure that you have not made the complete kit longer than 30m
Can I purchase extra heads ?
No. The kits are designed to only work with the number of heads included in the kit
We recommend you purchase the kit with a larger number of heads and not use some of them
These kits can run less heads on a kit, but not more
Can I extend the length of the kit ?
You can purchase the 57689 1M head to head extension lead accessory pack
This accessory pack gives you an additional five 1m extension leads to increase the distance between a number of heads
You can purchase the 57688 10M power extension lead accessory pack
This accessory pack gives you an additional 10m power extension leads to increase the distance between the plug socket and first head
see page 2 for further detail
Can the RGB kits be set to white ?
Yes, the RGB kits have seven fixed colour options (along with the other more dynamic strobe and fade modes), one colour of which is white
Is the location of the driver and plug important ?
Yes. The LED heads themselves are IP67 weatherproof and designed to be suitable for use outside in all weathers
However the plugs themselves are designed to be situated in a more sheltered position, preferably indoors such as in the house, garage or
shed to protect it from the elements
The plugs for kits with an in-line driver must still be placed indoors, but the in-line driver is fully IP67 waterproof and can be placed outdoors
What is the IP rating of the kits ?
The heads are IP67, as is the in-line driver if you have purchased one of the kits with this variation
The remote control receiver, all leads and all connectors are also IP67 and therefore suitable for outdoors
The plugs and remote controller are not waterproof and should be situated indoors
What material are the LED heads made of ?
Our LED heads are manufactured using stainless steel and are corrosion resistant.
We recommend regular cleaning as detailed under Care & Maintenance on page 2
