Installation:

WARNING: Cutting the LED strip light will void its warranty. We have
included detailed instructions on how to cut the LED strip light as
requested by our customers. However, we do not recommend cutting
since this will void the warranty cover of the LED strip light. We do NOT
accept return request for any cut LED strip lights.

Single LED Strip Light Connection:
To connect a single LED strip light, connect the adapter with the
controller first, then connect the control to the LED strip light.

Multiple Strip Lights Installation:

To connect multiple strip lights:
1. Connect the controller with power supply

2. Connect the first amplifier with the controller. Make sure the cable

sequence is correct. If you controller is in RGB sequence, your

connection from amplifier should also be in RGB connect. Make sure

connects are well insulated.

3. Connect power adapter (either DC or industry power adapter) to

amplifier

4. Each amplifier can support up to 2 LED strip lights. Please make

sure the line sequence is correct.

5. You can connect additional amplifier to the first amplifer, but every

amplifer must be powered by its own power adapter.

Note:
- 150 LED strip lights requires 36w of power each; if you connect 2 x

150 LED strip lights to the same amplifier, you need to make sure the
power adapter for the amplifier is greater than 72w.

- 300 LED strip lights require 45w of power each; if you connect 2 x

300 LED strip lights to the same amplifier, you need to make sure the
power adapter for the amplifier is greater than 90 W

- Controller power required more than 36w for 150 leds strip light and

45w for 300 leds strip light.

How to cut LED strip lights:
The TaoTronics LED strip lights can be cut into sections with at least 3
LEDs (or multiples of 3 LEDs). To cut the strip light, you MUST cut at
where the 3 parallel strips of copper conductors are. You MUST cut in
the middle at 90 degrees perpendicular to the strip light. This will
ensure maximum connection when rejoin the strip lights.
Note: Our LED strip lights come with water resistant coating. Please
scratch the water resistant coating off from the copper conductor to
allow good connection

Connecting two LED strip lights using connectors:
Note: connectors are not included in package
Strip light connector is an easy way to join two LED strip lights together.
To connect two strip lights using a connector:
1. Make sure the LED strip light is cut clean and water resistant

coating is removed2. Peel off just enough back tape so the LED
strip light can be inserted into the connector

2. Peel off just enough back tape so the LED strip light can be inserted

into the connector

3. Make sure line sequence from both sides of the connector are

matching. If the line sequence is +RGB, you must plug the LED strip
light in +RGB sequence

4. Once the strip light is connected, you can bend the connect or make

it suit your decoration

Trouble Shooting

Warning: Cutting the LED strip light will void its warranty. We have
included detailed instructions on how to cut the LED strip light as
requested by our customers; however we do not recommend cutting
since this will void the warranty cover of the LED strip light. We DO
NOT accept return request for any cut LED strip lights.

After connecting the controller and turn on the power, there is no
light:
• Check input power: Make sure enough power is supplied and the

input power voltage must meet the voltage required by strip light.
When the input voltage is too low, it will fail to turn on, while too high
voltage may damage the circuit. Adapter output power (value in KW)
must be equal or greater than power of LED strip light.

• Check if the controller is connected correctly. Make sure each cable

is connected correctly.

• Make sure the remote is on.
• Please make sure both the controller and LED lights are common

anode. If you are using common cathode LED lights, it will NOT work.

• Check whether the MOS is burned.
• The LED light may be defective if all the possibilities mentioned

above are ruled out.

LED lights are on, however the remote/controller is not working or
cannot control LED lights
• Make sure input power is 12V and has enough power to turn on the

LED lights;

• Check if you have removed the insulation piece (transparent plastic)

from the remote;

• Make sure batteries on the remote are installed correctly;
• Make sure the controller and LED strip lights are common anode;
• Make sure remote is within range (8 – 10) meters (Note: strong

sunlight will affect remote and cause malfunction);

• Try changing the remote battery.

LED strip lights are connected, but the light color is different from
the controller color
• TaoTronics strip lights and controllers both use +RGB sequence. If

you are using products from another brand/source, please maker sue
it is also in +RGB sequence. If not, you will need to figure out the
right sequence of connection

• Check the MOS inside the controller and see if it is burned;
• Check for short circuit inside the LED strip light.

Uneven brightness when multiple LED lights are connected in a
row (series connection)
• The current is too big for the controller to handle;
• It is necessary to add an RGB Amplifier.

After connecting multiple led strip lights with connector, the
lights are not on
• Please make sure the welding points/connections are clean

After cutting and joining/connecting led strip lights, some led
lights on both sides of the joint are not on
• Possibly the strip light is NOT cut in the correct place. You MUST cut

in the middle of the copper conducting strip in order for the conductor
strip to realign;

• Check if the welding points/connections are clean;
• If you are using a connector to join the LED strips, check if the 4

welding points are connected correctly between connector and strip
lights;

• Our strip lights are waterproof and there is a layer of waterproof

material on top of the copper conductor. When cutting the strip you
must scratch off the outer/waterproof layer and make sure the copper
conductor is clean before making connections, otherwise the electric
current will not be able to go through.

After connecting to an amplifier, the LED lights behind the
amplifier are not on
• Make sure the amplifier is connected with the adapter and the

adapter is powered on;

• Possibly the input LED strip is connected to the output connectors on

the amplifier or vice versa;

• Make sure the strip light is connected to the amplifier in correct

+RGB sequence.

The strip light color is different from the controller selected color
The controller output sequence may be wrong. Please note that the
wire sequence of strip light should match the output sequence of
controller. For example: if the strip light wire sequence is +GRB, the
controller output sequence should also be +GRB or the color will be
wrong. The following steps can help you to figure out the right
sequence:

1. Normally, common wires on the controller and strip light are either

black or white. Connect the 2 common wires first, and then finish by
covering the connection part with insulation tape to prevent any short
circuiting.

2. Connect one of the 3 wires from the controller to any one of the 3

wires on the strip light (do not count in the common wires). Tape the
connection with insulated tapes. Turn on the power and see what
color is the strip light. If the light is in GREEN, you can mark the wire
on the strip light “2G”(G for green), and this wire corresponds to
green light. (The wire itself may have a different color, just ignore the
color of the wire). Take apart this connection after marking.

3. Connect any one of the 3 wires on the controller (exclude the

common wire) to one of the two unmarked wires on the strip light
(exclude the common wire and the wire that you have just marked).
Tape with insulating tape and turn on the power. See what color you
get on the strip light. For example, if the strip light is in RED, you can
mark the wire on the strip light “2R”. Take apart this connection after
marking.

4. The last un-marked wire on the strip light is the wire for the

remaining color. For example, if you have already marked GREEN
and RED, then the remaining wire is the BLUE color.

5. Now you have identified the correct wiring on the strip light. Next

you need to identify the corresponding wire on the controller.

6. Turn on the controller; press the red button on the controller, then

turn off the controller. Connect the RED wire from the strip light
(previously marked with 2R) to one of the 3 wires on the controller
(exclude the common wire), power on the controller. If the strip light lit
up in red, then you have correctly connected the red wire from
controller to the strip light. If not, try the other two wires until you get
the red color. Once you have the correct color, tape the connection
with insulation tapes.

7. Turn on the controller and press the green button on the controller,

then turn off the controller. Connect the green wire from strip light
(now labeled 2G) to any one of the remaining two wires on the
controller (exclude the common wire and the red wire). Turn on the
controller again. If the strip light lit up in GREEN, then you have
corrected connected the green wire. If not, try the other wire. Once
you have identified the green wire, tape the connection with insulation
tapes.

8. Connect the wire labeled with 2G from the controller to the last

remaining wire on the strip light. Tape the connection with insulation
tapes.
