TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom

Common Cause

Tape Light does not 

illuminate

•  Circuit breaker is OFF or tripped.
• 

Incorrect wiring. Polarity of Low Voltage V+ and V- are reversed. Check connection at every connection point to ensure 

polarity is not reversed.

Tape Light Overheats

•  Ambient temperature above rating. Ensure tape light is installed in environment  

-4° ~ 122°F (-20° ~ 50°C).

•  Voltage input is higher than rated voltage.

Fixture flickers randomly, 

may shut off

•  Connection is not secure. Check connection at Terminal or splice connector and ensure Terminal screws are fastened 

tightly onto Tape Light Solder pads.

Shift in brightness and/

or color

• 

Review Tape Light maximum series run limit. Exceeding will cause voltage drop, decreasing brightness and/or color shift. 

•  Review Voltage Drop Chart. Incorrect wire gauge may cause voltage drop and noticeable shift in brightness and/or color.

Tape Light turns on/off 

repeatedly

• 

Driver is overloaded or overheated. An overloaded/overheated driver will trip the internal auto-reset (of driver) repeatedly, 

turning the system on/off.

24V Voltage Drop & Wire Length Distance Chart

Determine load size. Let’s assume load 

is 55 W. Round up to nearest load.

Determine distance from driver to load. 

Let’s assume the distance is 20 ft. 

Round up to nearest distance.

It’s recommended to install 18 AWG to 

eliminate excess voltage drop.

VOLTAGE DROP CHARTS

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

For best performance and lumen output, ensure proper wire gauge is installed to compensate for voltage drop of low voltage circuits.
