Please read these guidelines completely before installing.

RibbonFlex Pro LED tape is a new and exciting type of lighting. It is

important to read these guidelines completely to understand how the product

works, and how it can be conﬁ gured, cut to size, connected, and installed so

you can design your LED lighting layout.

Installing tape lighting is an easy DIY project, however, basic wiring skills such

as stripping, splicing, extending, and connecting wires are required.

This product operates on low voltage 12V DC power. 12V DC power supplies

are sold separately and are available in different wattages.

Visit armacostlighting.com for additional installation tips and ideas plus

FAQs and latest product information.

Cut to Size

Offers unlimited

lighting design

options for custom

installations.

Connect with Ease

Use LED Snap

Connectors to join

strips and add

power wires.

Peel and Stick

Simply remove 3M

backing from LED

tape lighting and

stick in place.

IMPORTANT

■

Use only with low voltage 12V DC power source

■

Do not stare directly into the LED lights when illuminated

■

Do not power LED tape while coiled on reel

■

Disconnect power supply before cutting and connecting

■

Always observe polarity for 12V connections, positive (+) to positive and

negative (–) to negative

■

Do not install this product in wet locations

■

Use only insulated staples, plastic ties, or wire support clips to secure

cords and wires

■

Route and secure wires so they will not be pinched or damaged

■

For any wire runs inside of walls, use properly certiﬁ ed CL2 or better cabling

■

Do not install Class 2 low voltage wiring in the same runs as AC main

power. If AC and low voltage wires cross, keep them at 90-degree angles

All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes, low

voltage Class 2 circuit. If you are unclear as to how to install and wire this

product, contact a qualiﬁ ed professional.

Warm Bright White LED Tape Light

Planning

RibbonFlex Pro LED lighting is designed for indirect lighting applications. The

light from the LED tape is not to be seen directly by the eye. Every installation

is unique and the illumination effects are personal preference. Installation

location, wall colors, mounting angle, and the light’s reﬂ ection off of walls,

surfaces and objects will affect the ﬁ nal lighting appearance.

Installation considerations

■

Where will you locate your power supply?

■

How will you switch your LED lighting on and off?

■

What is the best layout conﬁ guration for your installation?

■

How will you run and conceal the wires to your LED tape lighting?

Power supply location and voltage drop

The power supply that provides 12V DC power to your LED tape lighting

operates on 120V AC household current. The shorter the wire lead between the

power supply and the LED tape lighting, the brighter the lights will be. If the

lights farthest from the power supply appear dim, it is due to voltage drop.

About voltage drop

Voltage drop is a natural occurrence in all low voltage lighting systems. It

is the gradual decrease in voltage that occurs along the length of the 12V

power feed wires to the lighting, and varies depending on the type and

size of the LED tape light installation. It is a function of wire length, wire

thickness, and the energy or total watts used by the lighting.

Voltage drop only becomes undesirable if you notice the brightness in one area

of your lighting is objectionably different than in another area. As a practical

approach, test your lighting prior to ﬁ nal installation. Refer to the chart below for

recommended lengths of power feed wires using 22 and 18 AWG wires.

Excessive voltage drop = reduced brightness and color accuracy

Shorter and/or thicker wires = higher brightness and color consistency

Longer LED tape = an increase in voltage drop

Switching and dimming options

If you do not have a switched 120V AC outlet for your LED power supply, consider

an optional Armacost Lighting wireless wall switch or LED dimmer switch.
