Do I need a controller to operate my lights?
Technically no. The AL-PS-W-300-24 power supply can be plugged directly into any 120VAC wall plug. This will then require plugging/unplugging the lights with each use.
Which LED controllers can be paired with this backlighting kit? Can I use a ‘regular’ wall switch?
If you only need to control the on/off, any controller or wall switch available from aspectLED will work with this kit. However, if you would like to dim the lights, you will need to use a PWM-style dimmer/controller like AL-CTLR-CBU-PWM4 or AL-CTLR-RGBW-4CP. Wall-based control can then be achieved by installing/pairing a wireless remote unit to the wall (vs hardwiring).
Keep in mind that most standard wall switches must be hard-wired directly to a building’s 120VAC line voltage. Depending on the size of your system, you may end up needing multiple switches to control all the lights in this scenario.
How many connectors should I use to connect light sheets?
To ensure the maximum run length is achieved without damaging the product, it’s always recommended to use 2 connections between light sheets.
Why aren’t my light sheets working when they seem to be connected properly?
The most common reason for this is a polarity issue between the two sides of the connectors. Oftentimes, an individual sheet will be installed with incorrect +/- alignment – and while the connectors are firmly inserted, the positive and negative will be crossed in this instance.
How do I connect my light sheets to the power supply?
The easiest way to connect your light sheets to the power supply is by using the Plug and Play connectors shipped with your product. Using the “pigtail” type (with bare wires on one side) will be used to connect the sheets to the power supply. See the installation instructions for further details.
How many sheets can I connect in series?
aspectLED’s Lo-Glow™ Light Sheets can be wired up to 10 in a single series. Adding more beyond this limit will cause damage to the product and void the product warranty.
Can Lo-Glow™ Light Sheets be dimmed?
Yes! Using a PWM-style dimmer/controller like AL-CTLR-CBU-PWM4 or AL-CTLR-RGBW-4CP.
What can I use for spacers? To elevate the countertop above the light sheets?
Each Lo-Glow™ light sheet is shipped with (10) plastic spacers to be placed across the light sheet in any of the locations marked. Individual spacers can support 44 lbs of weight.
Should I be using all the spacers that shipped with my light sheets?
You can if you'd like to, but it's not always a requirement. The weight of the material resting on the sheets/spacers (usually in pounds per square feet) will ultimately determine the total number of spacers required. If each spacer can support up to 44lbs, you can theoretically support up to 440 lbs above each light sheet. However, most sub-structures would have a hard time supporting a weight of that magnitude.
Is there a special trick to getting the tape off these spacers?
The most effective method for removing the sticker backing from the light sheet spacers is with a needle-nose pliers. Simply grab the edge of the backing with the tip of the pliers and pull gently.
