Preparation and Installation
This section will guide you on how to prepare the T30 channel, add a wired LED strip, and install the mounting hardware to create a finished hanging LED fixture.
Step 1 Create a Notch for Wiring
Using a drill, make a notch in the center of the bottom edge of the T30 channel. Use a drill bit that’s slightly larger than the wire used to power the LED strip to ensure a good fit.
Step 2: Install LED Strip
Peel the 3M backing from the mounting tape of the back of the LED strip. Place the strip inside of the T30 channel so the wire fits snuggly in the notch created in Step 1. Take care to not crease, twist, leave gaps under, or install the LED strip over obstructions. Damage to materials caused during installation is not covered by warranty.
Step 3: Install Channel Cover
Firmly press the channel cover onto the T30 channel making sure the cover is flush with the edges of the channel. You may need to push firmly to fully secure the channel cover.
Step 4: Slide on Pendant Hardware and End Caps
Flip the T30 channel so the bottom is facing up. Insert the square-capped screws into the barrel terminals on the pendant cables and tighten them until there’s just enough space to allow the squared caps to slide under the grooves on the bottom of the channel. Slide the Pendant Cables to the desired location and gently tighten the barrel terminals to secure the pendant. Insert the end caps into the ends of the channel, pressing firmly to ensure a flush fit.
Step 5: Install Drywall Anchors
Drill pilot holes in your ceiling to accommodate the included wall anchors taking extra care to ensure the distance between the anchors matches the desired distance between the pendants on your channel. Insert the anchors into the drilled holes until the anchor is flush with the ceiling.
Step 6: Install Ceiling Couplers
Unscrew the ceiling couplers from the pendant cables. Insert the included anchor screws through the ceiling couplers so the screw heads are inside the couplers. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, insert the screws and couplers into the drywall anchors installed in Step 5. Tighten the screws until the coupler is firmly flush against the ceiling.
Step 7: Install Pendant Cables
Supporting the weight of your channel, screw the pendant cables onto the ceiling couplers until a firm connection is secured (DO NOT let the weight of the channel hang from a single pendant cable; each section should be supported with two sets of hardware which is meant only to bear the load of one T30 channel up to 78”). Adjust the lengths of the cables by pulling the cable through the barrel terminal or pushing the plunger on top of the barrel terminal to retract the cable. Once the desired length of the cables is achieved, the excess may be trimmed with wire cutters. Complete the project by connecting your LED wire to your controller and/or power supply.
