Applications & Installation

Ideal for cove lighting, under-cabinet illumination, accent lighting, and architectural details where high-quality linear light is essential.

Power Requirements: Requires a 24VDC constant-voltage LED driver (sold separately). Calculate total wattage: 4.6W/ft × total run length, then add 20% overhead for driver sizing.

Installation Requirements: Must be installed by qualified, licensed electrician per NEC 410.16.A.1.3 and 410.16.C.1.3.5. Use copper wiring rated for at least 176°F (80°C). Requires dedicated power feed from driver—do not extend beyond recommended maximum run length to prevent voltage drop.

Environmental & Safety

  • Operating Temperature: -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C)
  • Ambient Temperature: -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C)
  • RoHS Compliant: Verification No. CANE2109091501
  • CE & EMC Compliant: Verification No. GEEM4R2008037054Y
  • Connections: 36 AWG bare lead 20/2 wire with strain relief

Note: This warranty does not include additional accessories. Complete warranty details available at manufacturer's website. Photometric and colorimetry data measured in accordance with IES LM-79-08 and IES LM-80-08 standards.
