Quick guide from the manual

This document provides instructions for the Lyyt DIY COB LED Tape Kit. Before beginning installation, ensure you have read the instructions carefully. If you are unsure about any installation details, consult a professional. The tape is designed for indoor use on surfaces like counter tops, shelves, cupboards, or ceiling alcoves.

Kit Contents

  • 5m COB LED Tape
  • UK Power supply
  • Solder free connector

Preparation

Before fitting the tape, ensure the mounting surface is clear of dust and dirt. Clean the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. Unravel the tape and connect the power supply to test that all LEDs are functioning correctly before installation. If any faults are found, return the product to your retailer.

Cutting the Tape

WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before attempting any cutting.

Cutting the tape at 50mm intervals
Cutting the tape at 50mm intervals

Measure the required section and cut with sharp scissors at the marked 50mm intervals. Do not discard excess tape, as it can be reconnected and used again.

Fitting and Installation

Clear the area where you intend to install the tape. Remove the backing paper to expose the adhesive and push the tape firmly onto the surface. It is recommended to work in 50mm sections at a time to ensure a professional finish. When you reach the end of your installation, cut at the marked cutting point.

Reconnecting

You can reconnect two pieces of tape using the included solder-free connector or by soldering. The tape features two tracks for DC voltage: the positive (+) pole is at the top, and the negative (-) pole is at the bottom. If soldering, ensure you connect the DC wire to the relative terminals and avoid short circuits, as this can damage the power supply.

Important Safety Points

  • Only use the supplied power adaptor for the length of tape in the kit.
  • Only cut the tape at the highlighted 50mm intervals.
  • Do not connect another reel to operate from a single power supply, as this will affect performance.
  • Do not illuminate the tape while it is still coiled on the reel.
  • Ensure wires are connected to the correct terminals.
  • We recommend using heat shrink tubing to protect soldered connections.
  • Check that everything operates correctly before final installation.
