Horizontal installations are linear runs of channel beginning at a junction box and ending at a take-up box on a single surface. Runs
can be up to 40' in length and the LED strip lays in the bottom of the channel.
Horizontal installations are typically installed perpendicular to wall studs or ceiling joists. Where no stud/joist is present (or in a
remodel installation) a mounting strap may be used to secure the channel to the drywall.
Vertical Configuration
Vertical installations are linear runs of channel beginning at a
junction box and ending at a take-up box on a single surface.
Runs can be up to 40' in length and the LED strip lays in the
bottom of the channel.
Vertical installations are typically installed between wall studs or
ceiling joists. Cross-braced stud sections or mounting straps are
suggested to provide additional support every 32".

on a single plane (like a ceiling or a wall)
using sections of channel joined by L
connections or miter cut linear sections of
channel.
For Zig Zag installations, the LED strip will
be installed in the side of the channel,
allowing the LED strip to follow the zig zag
channel pattern.

Soft Strip into the female connector of the power cables.
25: Carefully remove the backing from the LED soft strip, making sure not to remove the tape from the soft strip. Firmly press down
the adhesive portion of the soft strip onto the channel surface while removing the rest of the backing, making sure there are no
air bubbles that can cause surface irregularities.
26: If required, trim the soft strip on the dashed cuttable section, place the excess soft strip inside the take up box (see inset).
Ensure the entire length of the channel is covered with Soft Strip to avoid unlit areas.
