Caution: Please read this guide carefully before installing Fluxia LED tape
Damage caused by incorrect application is not covered by the warranty

Fluxia RGB LED tape is supplied on 5m reels in either 12Vdc or 24Vdc voltages and offers full colour mixing.
Installation should be carried out by competent electrical installers, observing the relevant electrical safety procedures.

Fluxia RGB LED tape has a self-adhesive backing to allow it to be easily attached to a clean, non-porous surface.

Where less than 5m of tape is needed, there are solder points as shown below, where the tape may be cut to size. These cut points are at 5cm, 10cm or 20cm intervals, depending upon the version, as shown below. In order to re-connect to another length of tape after cutting, strip away the epoxy coating at the solder points and solder a wire from V+, R, G and B to like points on the next length of tape. Some accessories are supplied with the tape reel for this purpose. In order to retain weather-proofing, it is advised to seal the cuts and joints with silicone glue.

Each 5m reel of RGB LED tape is fitted with a 4-pin connector for power input from an RGB controller.

Ensure that the V+, R, G and B pins are connected the correct way round.

Where more than 5m of tape is needed, an RGB repeater/amplifier should be used before each additional reel of 12V tape, whereas 24V tape can be installed in 10m lengths between repeater/amplifiers by using the included 4-pin couplers to connect 2 reels together in sequence. The amplifier repeater ensures that extension reels mimic the colour changes of the original reel as dictated by the controller.

It is imperative that the power supply, controller and amplifier/repeater should have higher than the rated capacity in Amps (A) for the current required to power the length(s) of LED tape installed. Please see the table below for reference.
