Tetra Contour
®
METHOD A - Installing Light Engines With Light Guides
Planning First
Plan the layout by measuring the design layout and dividing by 8 ft . (2.44m) to determine the
required quantity of Tetra Contour. Refer to the Cutting Resolution Table on page 2 when cutting
any Tetra Contour section.
Do not use more than one suffix code for each respective application, as mixing suffix codes may
result in appearance variation. Suffix code can be found on the packaging label.
Installation methods shown are for straight runs. For custom shapes, refer to the Light Guide Forming Instructions.
DO NOT bend the light engine to an inside radius that is tighter than 3/4 in. (19mm). The light engine is not intended for excessive or
repetitive bending or stretching. If the silicone does crack, electrical grade silicone can be applied to seal the crack.
