Installation instructions for Single Colour LED Tape
Warnings & cautions
a
company
• To avoid electric shock, serious injury or property damage, isolate power before installing, removing or
servicing the product
• It is recommended that luminaires are installed by a qualied electrician and the installation complies
with the local current wiring regulations.
• Any broken or damaged parts should be replaced as soon as possible.
• JCC will not accept responsibility for claims arising from sub-standard installations.
• These products are suitable for indoor(IP20) or outdoor use(IP65) depending on IP rating
• The light source of this LED tape is not replaceable: When the light source reaches the end of it’s life,
the whole of the LED tape must be replaced.
• It may be necessary to upgrade your MCBs to allow for increased inrush current.
• Do not carry out insulation tests with the product connected to the circuit.
• It is recommended that the ambient room temperature should not exceed 25°C.
• Terminal blocks used for mains connection must comply to EN 60998-2-1 or EN 60998-2-2
Read instructions and check that you have all of the tools and accessories required to complete the installation correctly. Isolate power supply before starting the installation.

Please note: All LED tape can suffer voltage drop over distance, depending on conguration of LED tape, DC cable and driver. Any run over 10m may result in up to
2% loss of output per meter thereafter. Consider adding a new power supply every 10m to ensure you achieve the maximum performance of your tape. All the
standard length LED tape products can be cut every 50mm if required. It is the installer’s responsibilty to ensure if the IP65 tape is cut, they maintain the IP rating of
the tape by using heatshrink, silicone end caps with suitable silicone sealant where applicable.
• Select a driver that is suitable to run the LED tape overall
Wattage using the table on the left as a guide. The total tape
Wattage must not exceed the driver maximum Wattage.
• Single Colour IP20 and IP65, 5 metre tape packs are pre-wired with 250mm of 2 core DC cable,
ready to connect to the driver output. The Tape can be cut at 50mm intervals to suite. You must
only cut at the copper connection points(50mm intervals). If you cut any where other than the
copper cut points, it will damage the LED tape and will affect the circuit board and/or light output.
250mm Pre-wired
2- core DC cable
• LED Tape can be bent to curve around a corner in a continuous
R
run, but only when placed on a vertical surface horizontally i.e. on
a wall from left to right. The LED tape must only be bent with an
20mm
inner radius of 20mm max as illustrated to the right. If bent past
the 20mm max, it could damage the circuit board causing failure of
the LED chips to illuminate.

• LED Tape cannot be bent to curve around a corner, when placed on a horizontal surface i.e on the underneath of a kitchen wall
cabinet from left to right. The LED tape can only continue around a corner if cut and a DC cable corner connector(a) is used or a LED
Tape Corner(b) is used. If using the LED Tape Corner(b) the length of the tape and placement of the tape may need to be adjusted to
allow for the width of the corner piece.
• Note: when cutting and re-connecting the LED tape, make sure that you match the polarity of the tape i.e + (positive) to + (positive)
and - (negative) to - (negative)
