Frequently Asked Questions

What accessories do I require for a basic LED Module installation?

For a basic installation you will generally require:

1 × LED Modules
1 × Compatible 12V DC Power Supply
Power Cord
2-Core Flex Cable (if extending the distance between the power supply and modules)
Wire Connectors (optional for tool-free connections)

Simply connect the LED Modules to the correct 12V Power Supply, check all connections, and then connect the power supply to the mains.

Are there any optional accessories I may need?

Depending on your installation, you may also require:

Insulated 2-Core Flex Cable
2-Core Wire Connectors
Waterproof Junction Boxes (for outdoor installations)
Mounting Clips or Cable Ties
Silicone Sealant (for additional weather protection where required)

What voltage power supply should I use?

Always use a 12V DC Power Supply with our 12V LED Modules.

Never connect LED Modules directly to 230V AC mains power.

How do I calculate the correct power supply size?

Calculate the required power using:

Number of LED Modules × Wattage per Module + 15%

Example:

20 Modules × 0.72W = 14.4W
14.4W + 15% = 16.6W

A 20W Power Supply would therefore be suitable.

Where are LED Modules commonly used?

LED Modules are commonly used for:

3D Channel Letters
Lightboxes
Signage
Display Cabinets
Retail Displays
Architectural Lighting
Backlit Acrylic Signs

Can I install LED Modules myself?

Yes. LED Modules are designed for simple installation and are suitable for DIY users and professional sign installers alike.

Always ensure the correct power supply is used and disconnect mains power before making any electrical connections.

Can I receive an electric shock?

It is highly unlikely to receive a dangerous electric shock from the low-voltage 12V DC output side of the Power Supply.

Always complete and check all connections before connecting the Power Supply to the mains.

Can LED Modules be used outdoors?

Yes, provided you choose LED Modules with the appropriate IP rating and use suitable waterproof connections and power supplies.

Always check the IP rating of the specific module before outdoor installation.

Can I cut or separate the LED Modules?

Yes. LED Modules are connected by wires and can be separated between each module to suit your installation.

Do not cut through the LED Module itself.

How are LED Modules mounted?

Most LED Modules feature high-quality double-sided adhesive tape on the back for easy installation.

For added security, particularly outdoors or in warm environments, screws, cable ties, or suitable silicone adhesive may also be used.

Can LED Modules be dimmed?

Yes. LED Modules can be dimmed using a compatible 12V PWM LED Dimmer.

Always ensure both the dimmer and Power Supply are correctly rated for the total wattage of your installation.

How far apart should LED Modules be spaced?

Spacing depends on the module's beam angle, brightness, and the depth of your sign or lightbox.

As a general guide:

60–100mm spacing for shallow channel letters
100–150mm spacing for deeper lightboxes

For the most even illumination, we recommend testing the layout before permanently mounting the modules.

Installation & Setup

12V LED Module Installation & Setup

Installing 12V LED Modules is straightforward when the correct components are used.

Step 1: Plan Your Installation
Determine the number of modules required and calculate the total wattage to select a suitable 12V DC power supply with at least 20% spare capacity.

Step 2: Prepare the Surface
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before installing the modules.

Step 3: Position the Modules
Arrange the modules evenly across the sign, display, or surface to achieve consistent and uniform illumination.

Step 4: Connect the Modules
Connect the modules to the 12V DC power supply, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and –). Follow the manufacturer's recommended maximum number of modules per string.

Step 5: Test Before Securing
Power the modules briefly to confirm that all units illuminate correctly before permanently fixing them in place.

Step 6: Secure the Modules
Use the supplied adhesive backing or suitable mounting method to securely attach the modules to the surface.

Step 7: Connect to Power
Connect the power supply to the mains according to local electrical regulations. If you're unsure about mains wiring, consult a qualified electrician.

Installation Tips

Do not exceed the recommended maximum modules per string.
Space modules evenly for consistent light distribution.
Use suitable cable for the installation length and total load.
Ensure the power supply has at least 20% spare capacity.
Keep connections protected from moisture where required.
For larger installations, split modules across multiple strings or power supplies.

Following these steps will help ensure reliable performance, even illumination, and a long service life from your 12V LED Modules.
