Dim to Warm LED Strip Light Installation Guide

• Sharp scissors (for cutting the strip to length)
• Soldering iron and solder (if making custom connections)
• Lint-free cleaning cloth
• Cotton swabs (for cleaning solder pads)

• Architect LED Strip Light - Dim to Warm
• InDrive 2-in-1 Dimmer + Driver Single Color (***This is not compatible with the InDrive CCT Controller)
• Optional: Mounting channel, lens, connectors

Always practice S.A.F.E.T.Y. on the job site to protect yourself and your equipment:

S: Shut off power.

A: Ask a licensed electrician if needed.

F: Follow NEC guidelines.

E: Equip yourself with proper PPE.

T: Treat the wires as live.

Y: You are responsible.

This Architect series strip light is an IP20-rated, indoor-only product designed to smoothly transition color temperatures (from 3000K down to 1800K) as it dims. It pairs perfectly with the Single Color In-Drive Dimmer Driver.

Important Constraints:

• Maximum Run: Do not exceed the maximum continuous run limit of 16.4 feet (5 meters).
• Cutting: The strip can only be cut at the designated cut lines, spaced approximately every 2 inches (50mm).

1. Measure and Cut: Determine the required length for your installation. Cut the strip only along the clearly marked cut lines using sharp scissors.

2. Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the mounting surface with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust or grease. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.

3. Mounting: Peel the protective backing off the double-sided tape on the back of the strip. Carefully press the strip onto the prepared surface, applying even pressure along its length.

4. Soldering (if custom lengths are cut):

• Add a small amount of solder to the exposed solder pads on the strip end and to the ends of your connecting wires.
• Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) pad.
• Solder the wires securely to the solder pads.
• Use a cotton swab to clean any dirt or flux residue from around the solder pads.

5. Optional 2 pin Connectors: If you prefer not to solder, you can use compatible solderless connectors, such as the LD-SE-N10XB-2 or LD-SE-N10BB-2, ensuring the polarity matches.

Uneven Dimming or Color Shift: Ensure you are using the InDrive Single Color Controller designed for Dim-to-Warm applications. Verify that your total run length does not exceed the 16.4-foot maximum, which can cause voltage drop and inconsistent lighting.

Strip Not Lighting Up: Check your power supply to ensure it is outputting 24V DC. Verify the polarity of your connections at both the power supply and the controller.

Lights Flashing or Shutting Off: Your controller or power supply may be overloaded. Ensure your power supply is rated for the total wattage of your strip (approximately 4.87W/ft) and that your controller can handle the load.
