Measure the tape light to the required length. Using
sharp scissors, cut only along the indicated cut
marks. Make sure that you cut straight along the
strip’s cut point to ensure a proper seal if using end
caps or connectors. As a reminder, cutting the strip
does void the IP67 nature of the strip as customer
modifications cannot be guaranteed an IP rating.

When installing separate segments of the LED
strip together by soldering or using connectors,
always make sure the polarity is matched from one
strip to the next.

For the front caps, cut 3mm off the silicone cover.
Grab the front cap and slide it through the wire.
Then, solder the wire to the solder pads on the
strip. Fill the front cap with silicone and make sure
it is properly adjusted before letting the sealant
cure according to its instructions.
When using the end caps, repeat the last step.

If you don’t want to solder wire to the strip, you can also use our EVO Wet Location connectors, sold
separately. Carefully peel off 2” of the adhesive tape and tape cover from the back of the LED strip and push
it back to make room for the connector. This will allow the silicone to seal properly and ensure that water is
not pulled into the seal.
Coat the open end of the strip and approximately 1” of the top of the strip in silicone sealant. Due to the dome
shaped nature of the strip, sealant does need to be applied to the top to fill in the gaps on the sides. Slide the
transparent case of your EVO wet location connector into the sleeve, until the strip is making proper contact
with the end of the clear plastic. Then, grab the white plastic part of your connector and push the metal
contacts through the window of the transparent case. Adjust it with pliers until you hear a click, and then let
the sealant cure according to its own instructions.
