WARNING
When using alumLEDs for any application, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injuries.
AlumLEDs must be installed in accordance with the NEC or CEC as applicable.
CALI will not be responsible for any damage or malfunction caused by the following:
• Ensure power is off before installation begins, during replacements, additions, or repairs.
• Do not use alumLEDs if damaged, such as broken boards, loose connections, or frayed
wire insulation. Inspect before installing.
• Do not install alumLEDs in hazardous locations.
• Do not cover alumLEDs with any material. Covering may cause LEDs to overheat, melt, or ignite.
• Do not paint on or over fixture lens or LEDs.
Paint or any other substance on lens or LEDs will cause a shift in color temperature.
• Soffit must be evenly painted with a neutral white to avoid color shift.
• Do not modify alumLEDs in the field.
• Do not overlap alumLEDs luminaires in any way.
(Fig. 1)
• alumLEDs have line voltage risk of shock. Consult factory for any malfunctions.
Do not attempt to repair.
• Only use alumLEDs with specified rated voltages. Do not exceed the specified voltage for
any alumLEDs luminaire.
• Do not use alumLEDs extrusion as a raceway for additional wire. Non-factory feed
through wires inside alumLEDs will void warranty.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protections should be provided on circuits or
outlets when alumLEDs is used for outdoor applications.
• Surge protector must be set up for electrical power system to avoid damaging alumLEDs
lighting system.
• Do not connect wires together, follow provided wiring diagrams.
• Do not cut wire while energized.
(Fig. 2)
• Do not exceed maximum run lengths.
• Do not secure alumLEDs with nails or like means that might damage the wiring inside.
Only secure by using mounting clips.
• Do not mount alumLEDs inside tanks or enclosures of any kind.
• Do not install downward facing luminaires without set screws.
• Do not use improper screw head type on mounting clips. It will cause the mounting clip to
open up and become dysfunctional.
• Do not modify mounting clips.
• Do not mount fixture with less than the minimum number of mounting clips required.
See mounting clips section for details.
• Do not force alumLEDs into a space that is too small.
• Do not force alumLEDs with cord grip into soffit.
(Fig. 3)
• Do not install alumLEDs at an angle within a cove.
Only install fixtures straight within a cove.
(Fig. 4)
• Do not bend extrusion around radius.
• Do not submerge dry or wet location alumLEDs in any liquid.
• Do not install wet location in outdoor coves without proper drainage.
(Fig. 5)
• Do not install alumLEDs in any area that is continuously exposed to flowing or pooling
water, such as underneath drain pipes, sprinklers, fountains, misters, etc.
• Do not cut, puncture, or penetrate alumLEDs aluminum housing, end caps, or lens covers.
• Do not drop, bang, or rest weight upon alumLEDs.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to any part of alumLEDs.
• Do not remove end caps from alumLEDs.
• Do not bend alumLEDs power cord or continuous connector past permitted bend radius.
Bending past permitted bend radius will break the seal of the cordgrip or damage the
insulation.
(Fig. 6)
Wet Location: 3.5” minimum bend radius
Dry Location: 1.5” minimum bend radius
• Do not install alumLEDs in places where the power cord is subject to continuous flexing.
• Do not twist continuous connector or power cord.
• Do not hold, carry, or suspend alumLEDs by the power cord.
• Do not install alumLEDs on ceilings without mounting clips and set screws.
