Safety First! An easy way to remember the essential safety steps is by using the acronym S.A.F.E.T.Y. - a quick guide to stay safe and prepared.

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.

Beyond safety, here are a few important things to keep in mind about the product and installation.

• To maintain the longevity and performance of your LED Neon Light, be sure to bend it only in the specified direction—either top-bending or side-bending, depending on the product design.
• Avoid placing any weight or pressure directly on the neon, as this can damage the internal components.
• Always use parallel wiring rather than series wiring to ensure consistent voltage and safer operation.
• If you're installing the neon in a channel, make sure to insulate the bare wire leads to prevent any risk of short circuits.
• Use silicone or a suitable sealant to protect the neon from moisture and environmental wear.
• Keep in mind: this product is not designed to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals.

1. Determine the length you need for your project. You must use the cut lines to adjust the length of the LED neon light. If you need to cut the neon light, steps 2 and 3 explain the cutting process.
2. Locate the cut line on the bottom of the neon.
3. Using the neon cutter, make a clean cut along the marked line.

1. Slide the clear plastic sleeve onto the neon, with the ridged side facing away from the cut and the "bottom" side down.
2. Grab the metal bracket with teeth—use the side with the protruding tab as your alignment edge.
3. Gently widen the bracket, slide it up from the bottom of the neon, and press it into place until it securely bites down.
4. Insert the cream-colored plastic nose piece into the neon, making sure the metal tabs slide underneath the neon. Push it all the way in until it won’t go any further.
5. Position the painted white metal bite grabber and lock it into place using the slots for alignment.
6. Slide the clear plastic sleeve over the entire connection to lock everything into place.

1. Determine where you want the neon located.
2. Use the screw driver to screw the u-shaped brackets into the intended spot. Space the brackets evenly.
3. Snap the LED neon light into the brackets.

1. Once you have the neon light cut to length and mounted, it is time to make the electrical connection.
2. On the neon light, there are two wires: a red wire and a black wire. The red wire is the V (+) wire and the black wire is the V (-) wire as indicated on the neon itself. If you’re using a controller, connect the neon to the controller and then to the power supply. The low voltage power supply output will also have a V (+) and V (-) wire. Connect the corresponding wires together using standard wire nuts or splice/crimp connectors.
3. Test the neon light to ensure it is working properly.
4. That’s it! Great job!

Can you cut the LED neon lights?

Yes, where there is a marked cut line on the clear window on the bottom side. We recommend using our neon cutters.

Will regular scissors work to cut the LED neon lights?

No, use the neon cutter (purchased separately) to ensure a clean, precise cut.

Can you daisy chain the LED neon lights?

Yes, up to the maximum specs listed on the product page.

How do I connect the LED neon lights to the power supply?

On the LED neon light, there are two wires: a red wire and a black wire. The red wire is the V (+) wire and the black wire is the V (-) wire as indicated on the neon itself. The power supply output will also have a V (+) and V (-) wire. Connect the corresponding wires together using standard wire nuts or splice/crimp connectors.

My lights are flickering. What should I do?

Double check your connection. Often times, it is a simple fix. If in doubt, re-do it. The beauty of this neon connector is that it is reusable.
