Setup and Installation
The LED-TC-IC36-WT joiner cable is designed for straightforward integration into your InvisiLED 24V tape light system. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Preparation: Ensure your InvisiLED tape light sections are powered off before making any connections.
- Connection: Align the pins of one end of the joiner cable with the corresponding receptacles on the end of the first InvisiLED tape light section. Gently push the connector firmly into place until it is secure.
- Extension: Connect the other end of the joiner cable to the beginning of the second InvisiLED tape light section using the same method.
- Voltage Drop Consideration: The total run length from the power transformer to the end of the tape light run, including all joiner cables, must not exceed 30 feet to prevent significant voltage drop and ensure optimal light performance. Plan your layout accordingly.

Operating Instructions
The LED-TC-IC36-WT joiner cable is a passive component designed to facilitate the electrical connection between InvisiLED 24V tape light sections. Once properly installed, it requires no direct operation. The connected tape lights will function as intended when power is supplied to the system.
Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the InvisiLED system. The cable's primary function is to maintain electrical continuity and allow for flexible layout designs.
Maintenance
The WAC Lighting LED-TC-IC36-WT joiner cable requires minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and proper function:
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable and connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage, such as cuts, kinks, or frayed insulation. Ensure connectors remain securely seated.
- Environment: While UL & CUL listed for damp locations, avoid exposing the cable to excessive moisture or direct water immersion.
Troubleshooting
If your InvisiLED tape light system is not functioning correctly after installing the joiner cable, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Light or Dim Light:
- Check all connections: Ensure the joiner cable is firmly seated into both InvisiLED tape light sections and that the tape lights are properly connected to the power supply.
- Verify polarity: Ensure the connectors are aligned correctly. Incorrect polarity can prevent the lights from illuminating.
- Assess total run length: If the total length of the tape light run (including joiner cables) exceeds 30 feet from the transformer, voltage drop may occur, leading to dimming or no illumination at the end of the run. Consider adding another power supply or shortening the run.
- Intermittent Light:
- Inspect connections for looseness: A loose connection can cause intermittent power. Re-seat all connectors.
- Check for cable damage: Examine the joiner cable for any visible damage that might be causing an intermittent circuit.
If issues persist after following these steps, contact WAC Lighting customer support for further assistance.
