Color Changing LED Strip
Lights Installation Guide
1. Determine a suitable location to install the 3 components as labeled in System Diagram
WIRING CONNECTIONS
INSTALLATION
Only cut the strip on a marked cut line,
these are located on the center of each set
of copper soldering pads.
Controls
Power Supply
LED Light Fixture
This will include suitable wire installed between the power supply, the LED light fixture, and any controls.
It is important to choose the correct wire for the specific application, this is dependent on voltage drop,
amperage rating, and environment. Please consult a voltage drop and wire sizing chart to determine
adequate wire size. Using the incorrect wire size will damage your products! If installing wiring in a wall or
ceiling, always use in-wall rated wiring.
2. Cut strip lights to desired length at the designated cut points on the strip (dependent on model). If you
need to connect more than one strip together, you may choose to solder the connections together.
a. Special consideration is needed for altering the length of the water resistant and waterproof
strips. It is important to carefully remove the protective silicone coating and to re-waterproof
using Silicone End Caps (available at
www.aspectled.com
) and silicone after making the cut. Be
sure to note the location of the polarity (+/-) markings before soldering. Use lead-free stranded
18-20 gauge copper wire between any copper soldering pad along the strip.
