Light Tape® Installation Guidelines

Installing Light Tape® is fairly simple. To get started, just follow a few easy steps.

1. Determine number of connections or segments of Light Tape® per lighting design. (Consult chart for maximum length per one connection)
2. Assess power availability and source voltage (AC or DC).
3. Mount per E-LLC recommended guidelines. Always protect Light Tape® from tampering when accessible to the general public.

Example:

• In this installation, we would begin by using two Smart Driver™ power supplies to balance the load (blue boxes noted with Smart Driver™ logo).
• Each Smart Driver™ would illuminate two Light Tape® segments.
• Tip: We recommend when operating multiple segments off one Smart Driver™ that the shortest segment is 50% of the minimum rated load of the Smart Driver™.
• For instance, the SD-4000 recommended operating range is 2000 to 4000 square inches. Therefore, the 50% threshold for the shortest segment would be 1000 square inches OR 2000 in² x 0.50 = 1,000 square inches
• Prolonged use with an unbalanced load may result in failure at connection due to uneven power.
