Setup and Installation

The SHOPLED connecting wires are designed for simple plug-and-play installation, requiring no welding or soldering. Follow these steps to connect your LED tube light fixtures:

1. Prepare Fixtures: Ensure that the T5 or T8 LED tube light fixtures you intend to connect are powered off and securely mounted.
2. Identify Connectors: Each connecting wire has a male end and a female end, both with three pins. The male end plugs into the female receptacle of a light fixture, and the female end receives the male plug of another fixture.
3. Connect First Fixture: Insert the male end of the connecting wire into the corresponding female receptacle of the first T5 or T8 LED integrated tube light fixture. Ensure a snug fit.

4. Connect Second Fixture: Take the female end of the same connecting wire and insert it into the male plug of the second T5 or T8 LED integrated tube light fixture.
5. Daisy-Chain (Optional): To connect more fixtures, repeat steps 3 and 4 using additional connecting wires. This allows for a continuous run of lights.

6. Secure Wires: Ensure all connections are secure and the wires are routed safely to prevent tripping hazards or damage.
7. Power On: Once all connections are made and secured, restore power to the LED tube light fixtures.

Operation

The SHOPLED connecting wires are passive components designed to extend the reach and link multiple T5/T8 LED tube light fixtures. Once properly connected, the operation of the lights themselves will depend on the power source and controls of your LED fixtures. The cables simply provide the electrical pathway between them.

• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cables with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cables in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid kinking or tightly coiling the wires.
• Avoid Stress: Do not pull on the cables to disconnect them from fixtures. Always grasp the connector housing firmly.
