Installa on Instruc ons
Drivers are available in a variety of wa ages. In general a driver should not exceed more than 80% of its rated wa age.
(Example: 60W Driver = 60 x 0.8 = 48W Max).
Strip Lights require 1.44 wa s per foot. A er determining the necessary length of strip ligh ng, calculate the wa age and ensure the
driver being used has adequate capacity. (Example: 10’ = 10 x 1.44 = 14.4W)
The maximum length of strip ligh ng that can be connected in one run is 25 feet. If one sec on of ligh ng is longer than 25 feet, it
must be broken into mul ple smaller sec ons and run on separate circuits.
Building codes vary by loca on and jurisdic on. Consult all applicable codes before installing DesignRail® LED Ligh ng.DesignRail®
LED Ligh ng may not be suitable for every applica on and it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that DesignRail® LED
Ligh ng is used for its intended purpose.
