LED TAPE LIGHTING SYSTEMS 25
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Prepare the location that the LED tape light will be installed. Make sure that the area has been thoroughly cleaned using
non-petroleum based products and is dry. If installing underneath a cabinet, it is recommended to install tape light at
least 1-½” away from cabinet lip to prevent shadowing on counter top surface.
• Determine location for power supply and length of supply lead wire that will be needed.
• Determine how many sections of tape light and different lengths of connectors that will be needed.
FOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING
All installations should comply with
national and local electrical codes. If you
have any doubts concerning installation,
contact a qualified, licensed electrician.
Supply leads and interconnects are
not listed for In-Wall use. Read all

• This fixture can only be used with
Kichler
®
LED Tape Lighting power
supply and accessories. This fixture
must be connected to a NRTL Listed
Class 2, Damp Location 24V DC
power supply.
• Voltage drop limits the linear run
length of 24V DC fixtures, and these
lengths differ between the products
listed below.
a. 6T2xxSxxxx = 32 feet (Standard)
b. 6T2xxHxxxx = 20 feet (High)
• Total wattage of tape light should not
exceed power supply wattage. To
determine the total wattage of tape
light, multiply the total number of feet
used by the wattages listed below for
the appropriate tape light type.
a. 6T2xxSxxxx = 1.5 W/ft. (Standard)
b. 6T2xxHxxxx = 3 W/ft. (High)
* Maximum linear run length is determined
using a 96W power supply & a 1’ power
supply lead with a continuous linear run of
LED tape light.

INSTALLATION
1. Install power supply.
Note: The power supply should be
installed by a qualified electrician and
be installed in accordance with national
and local electric codes. Refer to the
power supply installation instructions
for further detail.
2. Run supply lead wire from power
supply to beginning of tape light run.
Do not connect lead wire to power
supply yet.
3. Connect tape light to supply lead wire.
Note: The arrow on the supply lead wire
connector should line up with the + side
of the tape light.
Note: To connect, push the 4 pins of
the tape light into the connector.
4. Remove 3M backing from tape light
and apply making sure to press
between the LED’s and other
components. Pressing on the
LED’s and other components will
result in damage to the tape.
Note: For best results, peel off backing
and apply tape light in small sections
starting at the beginning of the run.
5. Install any additional sections of
tape light and connectors in the
same manner.
6. Cut tape light to size (optional)
Note: Only the last piece of tape light in
a run should be cut. Once cut, the cut
section cannot be reused.
Note: To cut the tape light, use a pair of
sharp scissors or snips and cut on the
dotted cut line only.
Note: To maintain a water tight seal on
the tape light, fill an end cap (10181)
with silicone (10183) and slide onto the
exposed, cut end of the tape light. (End
caps and silicone sold separately)
7. Connect power supply lead to power
supply and turn on.
Note: Before powering on the system,
double check that all connections are
secure and that all polarity (+/-) symbols
are oriented in the same direction.
Note: To ensure proper connections,
tape should not be bent over a 1.3
inch radius.
