METHOD B - Installing Light Engines Without Light Guides (Dry Indoor Only)
RISK OF FIRE: Light engine by itself is intended for use in dry indoor application only.
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, install mounting clips at regular intervals throughout the shape
to provide adequate support for the light engine.
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.
