Applications & Installation

Ideal for outdoor cove lighting, wet location under-cabinet illumination, marine applications, pool areas, and architectural details where high-quality linear light is essential in wet environments.

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)
