Sauna Neon Light Installation Guide
Overview
This Sauna Neon Light Installation Guide provides clear steps for safely installing your LED neon lighting in high temperature and high humidity environments such as saunas and bathrooms. It covers the essential tools, safety practices, and installation process including measuring, cutting, soldering, waterproof sealing, mounting, and wiring to a 24V DC power supply. Designed with an IP67 rating, the neon strip is built for durability in demanding conditions but must be installed within the specified maximum run length and bending radius to ensure proper performance and longevity. If you have any questions or need additional support, reach out to 888.503.1317 or support@aspectled.com.

This LED neon light is IP67 rated and built specifically for high temperature and high humidity conditions, making it suitable for saunas and bathrooms. It has an operating temperature range of -22°F to 212°F (-30°C to 100°C).
Maximum Run: Do not exceed the maximum continuous run limit of 16.4 feet.
Bending Radius: This light bends from the top. You must maintain a bending radius greater than 3.5 inches to avoid damaging the internal components.
1. Measure and Cut (If Necessary): If a custom length is required, cut the neon light using the neon cutter tool only at the designated cutting marks, which are spaced approximately every 1 inch.
2. Solder Connections: Cut the side of the silicone housing to expose the internal soldering pads. Solder your wire leads directly onto the PCB.
3. Waterproof the End: Insert the wire through the end cap. Inject silicone glue into the end cap until it is about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Apply additional gel around the tail of the neon light and push the end cap completely on to wrap the end.
4. Curing Time Lay the newly sealed neon strip flat for 2 hours before proceeding with any other project steps. Allow 24 hours for the glue to completely dry.
5. Surface Preparation: Clean the intended mounting area thoroughly with a cloth to ensure strong adhesion.
6. Mounting: Tear off the backing from the 3M double-sided tape and stick the neon strip to the clean surface. Install the provided clips and mounting straps over the neon light to securely anchor it in place.
Connect the positive (red) and negative (black) leads from the neon light directly to the 24V DC output terminals of the power supply or into an intermediate 24V controller.
Inconsistent brightness: Verify the continuous run does not exceed the maximum length of 16.4 feet. Runs longer than this will suffer from voltage drop.
Neon light not lighting up: Ensure the power supply matches the required DC 24V input. Confirm your wiring polarity matches between the power supply, controller (if used), and the neon light.
Physical damage or dark spots: Check that the neon light was not bent tighter than the allowed minimum 3.5 inches radius during installation.
