Extend wire lead

up to 10 ft., using

22-18 AWG

For longer wiring needs between LED Light Strips, another op-

tion is to splice in longer lengths of wiring between two solderless 

clamps, as shown at right.

Wiring lengths can be increased up to 10 ft., using 22-18 AWG 

wiring.

Another option for quick, easy and flexible connection between 

LED Light Strips is the Light Strip Interconnect, shown at right.

Interconnects are a useful option in applications where you want 

to easily join light strips over separated surfaces, such as between 

kitchen cabinets.

Installation

Important

The backing tape on LED Light Strips 

is coated with a strong adhesive that 

is intended for a single application 

only. Apply only when a lighting loca-

tion is fully determined.    

Mounting Options

Once you have determined your final mounting position, clean the surface 

to assure the self-adhesive backing will adhere properly. The mounting

surface needs to be smooth, dry, and free from oils and waxes. 

Although LED Light Strips can be installed in curved and irregular spaces,

avoid sharp bends or bending on the solder joints as you could damage the

light strip. If an LED is inadvertently damaged and fails to light, the

remaining LEDs will continue to operate.

Mounting Options

Once you have chosen a lighting configuration and finished making necessary connections, installing Light Strips can be as 

simple as applying them to the desired surface. However, it is recommended to first try different installation options to achieve 

the most attractive results from your lighting system. 

Below, some typical installation techniques for different applications are represented with some general guidelines to observe.
