Placement options for under cabinet lighting

For maximum light output, mount the LED tape

towards the front of the cabinet with LEDs facing

down. To focus light on the work surface and also

light your backsplash, position the tape light an

inch or two back from the front of the cabinet.

This mounting position works best with dull or

matte ﬁ nished surfaces.

If your countertop is reﬂ ective, install the LED tape

lighting on the inside back of the cabinet lip frame

with the LEDs facing towards your backsplash.

This method helps eliminate unwanted light

reﬂ ections and bright spots reﬂ ecting off your

countertop. Because of the wide beam angle of the

tape light, this mounting position will still provide

ample lighting.

Continuous run mounting of LED tape lighting is

achieved by drilling a 1/2 in.

hole through cabinet side frame

lips. When mounting on the

back side of the front frame lip, use a multi-tool

oscillating saw to make small vertical cuts in the

dividers to create slots that allow the tape lighting

to pass from one cabinet to another.

Create a visual barrier when mounting under a cabinet or shelf with no

lip to conceal the LED tape light strip. Use a piece of angle trim, quarter

round molding, or any type of trim desired to hide the LEDs.

Above Cabinet Uplighting

Most cabinet tops have uneven surfaces. To create beautiful, indirect

uplighting over cabinets, simply mount RibbonFlex Pro on any rigid strip

(e.g., thin lattice or corner guard molding) and place on top of cabinets.

Angle the strip position to achieve the desired illumination.

Troubleshooting

RGB tape light strip does not light



Make sure your LED power supply is turned on and receiving power.



Conﬁ rm you have maintained correct polarity when connecting your

12V power supply to your RGB controller, and ensure that you have

maintained polarity and consistent wire color sequencing (+12V/G/R/B)

from the RGB controller to your LED tape light.



Check all tape light and RGB controller connections from the power

supply to the RGB LED tape light. Consider testing with a multimeter

to ensure light strip is receiving 12V power.

Only part of the LED tape light strip is lit



Check connections to the part of the strip that is not lit.



Conﬁ rm that you have maintained correct polarity and wire color

sequencing to the unlit section.



If only 1 LED series is out, cut out and remove the damaged 3-LED group

and splice together LED tape strips or replace with new 3-LED section.

LED tape lights blink on, then go off



Your power supply is not adequate for the length of RGB LED tape light

you are powering. Install a higher wattage power supply or reduce watts

used by shortening the lengths of your LED tape lighting.

LEDs farthest from the power supply are noticeably dimmer or you see a color shift



This is the result of voltage drop. Decrease the length of the 12V power

feed wires or use thicker power feed wires between the 12V power

supply, the RGB controller, and the tape lighting.



Use shorter lengths of RGB LED tape lighting. Refer to Typical

conﬁ gurations in these guidelines. Consider a different conﬁ guration.
