Frequently Asked Questions - DIY-R60 LYYT

Can I cut the LED tape?

Yes, cut only at the marked intervals (5cm for single colour, 10cm for RGB) using sharp scissors. Cutting elsewhere will damage the tape.

Can I reconnect cut pieces of tape?

Yes, you can solder the connection points together. Use a craft knife to remove the epoxy coating, then solder the corresponding tracks (positive and negative for single; common, green, red, blue for RGB). Protect with heat shrink tubing.

Can I connect different colours in a chain?

Yes, all LEDs draw the same power and have the same connection. However, do not exceed the full reel length to avoid performance issues.

Can I connect two reels to one power supply?

No, the power adaptor is designed to operate only one reel. Connecting multiple reels will seriously affect performance and cause dimming.

Can I form a loop with the tape?

Yes, you can connect the ends to form a loop. This helps even out brightness across the length.

Can I use the tape outdoors?

Yes, the tape is IP65 rated. Ensure that all terminated ends are protected with heat shrink tubing.

How should I clean the tape?

Wipe with a damp cloth regularly. The IP65 epoxy coating allows easy cleaning without damaging the LEDs.

Can I replace a damaged section of tape?

Yes, cut out the faulty section at the nearest marked interval, then solder in a new piece. Ensure connections are secure and use heat shrink to protect.

Can I use the RGB tape without the IR controller?

Yes, but you will only have a choice of 7 permanent static colours. For full functionality, use the included controller.

Why are the LEDs dim at the end of a long run?

This is caused by voltage drop when exceeding the power supply's capacity. Use only the supplied adaptor for the supplied reel length.

DIY LED TAPE KIT - SINGLE COLOUR

Introduction:

Thank you for purchasing the Lyyt DIY LED Tape Kit. LED tape is ideal for use on the underside of a counter tops, shelves, cupboards, around window frames or in an alcove of a ceiling to name just a few examples.

Before starting please ensure that you have read this instruction leaflet carefully. If you are unsure about any of the installation details, please have this installed by a competent installer.

Blister Contents:

1 x Reel of LED tape 1 x UK power adaptor

Possible Required tools: Scissors, Craft knife, Soldering iron and solder, 2 core DC wire and heat shrink tube.

Step 1: Preparation

Ensure that the surface you are attaching to is clear of dust and dirt. Clean thoroughly and leave to dry before fitting the tape.

Unravel the tape and connect the power supply. Check that all the LEDs are functioning correctly and if there are any faults return to your retailer without delay.

Step 2: Cutting

WARNING: Disconnect from the power supply before attempting any cutting.

Measure out each section and cut with sharp scissors at the marked 5cm intervals to achieve the perfect length. Do not discard any excess tape as it can be easily reconnected and used again (see FIG 2).

Step 3: Fitting:

Example 1: Simple straight run.

Clear the area you wish to install the tape and remove the backing paper, exposing the adhesive tape. Push tape firmly onto the surface. It is recommended to work on 50cm sections at a time in order to ensure a professional finish. When you reach the end of your installation cut at the marked cutting point.

Example 2: Requires cutting:

The tape can be cut at highlighted 5cm intervals for a perfect fit.

FIG 1:

You may also reconnect the two pieces by soldering the connection points together (FIG 2). The tape has two tracks for the DC voltage with + positive pole at the top and - negative pole at the bottom.

To reattach, use a craft knife to cut the Epoxy coating from the terminals.

Use a soldering iron and solder to connect the DC wire to the relative terminals be sure not to cause a short circuit when making these connections, as this will result in malfunction and possible damage to the power supply.

FIG 2:

WARNING: Only cut the tape on the highlighted intervals. Cutting the tape in other parts without due care will permanently damage that section of the tape and will result in malfunction.

Points to remember when using this tape

1) Only use the supplied power adaptor for the length of tape in the kit
2) Only cut the tape at the highlighted 5cm intervals.
3) Do not connect another reel and operate from a single power supply as this will seriously affect the performance.
3) The top track of the tape is the + Positive pole.
4) The bottom track of the tape is the - negative pole.
5) Ensure you connect the correct wires otherwise the tape will not work.
6) Ensure that when soldering there are no short circuits
7) We recommend use of heat shrink tubing to protect the connection.
8) Check that everything operates correctly before installing.

FAQ:

Q) Can I connect different colours in a chain?
A) Yes all the LEDs draw the same power, current and have the same connection but do not exceed the full reel length.
Q) Can you cut a reel of tape into many different sections then connect them all together?
A) Yes as long as you cut the tape at 5cm intervals highlighted.
Q) I have connected two reels together off one power supply and the LEDs are dim towards the end.
A) The power adaptor is only designed to operate the reel in the kit. Anything longer will seriously affect the performance.
Q) Can I connect the tape together to form a loop?
A) Yes you can. This will even the brightness out on the LEDS across the reel length
Q) Can I use the tape outdoors?
A) Yes, the tape is IP65 rated. Ensure that the terminated ends are heat shrink protected.
Q) Can I clean the tape?
A) Yes, the tape is IP65 rated and has an epoxy coating. Just wipe down with a damp cloth regularly to ensure continuing brightness
Q) Can I replace / patch damaged tape with a new piece
A) Yes, just highlight the effected area by the 5cm intervals. Cut out the faulty section then fit in a new piece soldering the connections securely and using heat shrink to protect the repaired connection.

LED DIY TAPE KIT - RGB MULTI COLOUR

Introduction:

Thank you for purchasing the Lyyt DIY RGB LED Tape. LED tape is ideal for use on the underside of a counter tops, shelves, cupboards, around window frames or in an alcove of a ceiling to name just a few examples.

Before starting please ensure that you have read this instruction leaflet carefully. If you are unsure about anything please have the tape installed by a competent installer.

Contents:

1 x Reel of RGB LED tape

1 x UK power adaptor

1 x Control Box with IR remote handset

Possible required tools: Scissors, Craft knife, Soldering iron and solder, 4 core DC wire and heat shrink tube.

Step 1: Preparation

Ensure the surface you are attaching to is clear of dust and dirt. Clean thoroughly and leave to dry before fitting the tape.

Step 2: Connecting IR Controller:

Connect the 4pin connector to the control box and then to the LED tape (FIG 1). Plug in the power supply and use the IR remote control to select the various functions (Fig 2).

Unravel the tape to check that all the LEDs are functioning correctly. If there are any faults return to your retailer without delay.

Step 2: Cutting

WARNING: Disconnect from the power supply before attempting any cutting.

Measure out each section and cut with sharp scissors only at the marked 10cm intervals. Do not discard any excess tape as it can be easily reconnected and used again (see FIG 4).

Step 4: Fitting:

Clear the area you wish to install and remove the backing paper, exposing the adhesive tape. Push tape firmly onto the surface. It is recommended to work on 50cm sections at a time in order to ensure a professional finish. When you reach the end of your installation cut at the marked cutting point.

The tape can be terminated at highlighted 10cm cut intervals if less than a full reel is required.

FIG 3:

You may also reconnect the two pieces by soldering the point connections together. The tape has 4 tracks for the DC voltage:

Common (indicated as "+12V" on the tape), Green, Red and Blue

To re-attached use a craft knife to cut the Epoxy coating from the terminals.

Use a soldering iron and solder to connect the DC wire to the relative terminals be sure not to cause a short circuit in the process as it will not work.
