Installation Instructions
• INVISILED™ must be at room temperature ( 50ºF or
above ) for installation.
• To prepare INVISILED™ for installation, carefully
join pieces together on a flat surface. Turn the
power on for 15 mins or until INVISILED™ is flexible.
• INVISILED™ Tape Lights have no polarity for
connection. Connectors may be used
interchangeably.
• If a 1/2”x1/2” or greater cove or channel is not builtin, a Retrofit Channel may be necessary to conceal
the tape lights or provide an extended surface for
mounting or directing the light.
Please refer to installation diagrams shown on page 2.
•
STEP 1: Determine the number of separately powered
runs needed. Calculate the number of drivers.
•
STEP 2: Measure the length of each run and round it off to
the nearest 2-inch interval. Determine the necessary
quantities of 1-ft, 5-ft, and 2-in sections.
•
STEP 3: Count the number of right angle turns in the runs.
•
STEP 4: If making lateral turns at angles other than 90°,
determine the number of short joiner cables necessary to
make the lateral adjustment.
•
STEP 5: Determine the number of sections that require
jumping, powered by the same driver.
•
STEP 6: Power the transformers and connect the male
and female ends, to form straight lines or bend lengthwise
around the installation surface.
•
STEP 7: Connect remaining sections using 1-ft, 5-ft and 2in sections of tape light or connectors. INVISILED™
sections may be cut where indicated at the end of the run
only.
•
STEP 8: On smooth surfaces, the included adhesive is
sufficient in most applications. However if mounting
surface is a porous or textured surface, then use a
Mounting Clip every 6 inches to reinforce the installation.
•
STEP 9: Terminate each separately powered run with an
end cap. Cut end caps or male end caps are the available
choices for cut or uncut sections respectively.
•
NOTE: Tape may be cut to length as indicated by the
markings on the back of the INVISILED™® section. Cut
sections may not be rejoined to start a new section
and must be sealed with silicon after adding an end
cap.

General installation Suggestions
L connector is used for connecting tape light at right angle
of 90º. May be used interchangeably for left or right turns.
2-inch joiner cables and 2-inch tape lights may be used
together for making lateral curves.
6-inch, 12-inch, or 6-foot joiner cables are used for
connecting separate sections in a single run.
Mounting clips are used for surfaces that are difficult to
adhere to.
Retrofit channels may be used to create coves or extend light baffles to control light output direction or glare. The
channel has a (5/64 Inch) slot every inch on one side allowing curves at radii of 6 inches or greater. Retrofit channels
may be painted to match the architecture.
