FAQs
What is the color temperature of the LEDs?
The LEDs produce a Natural White light, with a color temperature between 4000 to 4500 Kelvin.
Can I use these lights outdoors or in a bathroom?
No, these lights have an IP20 rating, meaning they are designed for indoor use in dry environments only and are not protected against water ingress.
How long will these lights last?
The LEDs have a rated lifespan of 30,000 hours.
What is the power consumption per light?
Each under-cabinet light consumes 3.5W.
How many lights can I connect to the driver?
The included 8W driver has 3 ports and can support a total load of up to 8W. This means you can connect the two included lights and one additional compatible 12Vdc light.
Do I need an electrician to install this kit?
While the low-voltage connections are user-friendly, connecting the driver to mains power (240V AC) involves electrical wiring. If you are not comfortable or experienced with electrical work, it is strongly recommended to hire a qualified electrician.
What are the dimensions of each light?
Each under-cabinet light measures 99mm x 99mm x 6.5mm (Length x Width x Depth).
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on
Check that the LED driver is securely connected to a power source and that the lights are properly plugged into the driver's ports. Verify that the main power supply is switched on at the breaker.
One light is not working, but the other is
Try swapping the connections of the working light and the non-working light to the driver's ports. If the issue follows the light, the non-working light may be faulty. If the issue stays with the port, the port or driver might have a problem.
Flickering lights
Ensure all connections are secure. If the flickering persists, the driver may be overloaded or faulty, or the lights may be nearing the end of their lifespan.
Dim lighting
Verify that the total wattage of connected lights does not exceed the driver's 8W capacity. Clean the surface of the lights, as dust can reduce light output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the main power supply is turned off at the breaker.
Mount the LED driver in a suitable, accessible location, typically within or near the cabinet space, following the manufacturer's mounting instructions.
Connect the 1.5m cable from each under-cabinet light to one of the 12Vdc output ports on the LED driver. Ensure connections are secure.
Connect the driver's mains input to your household wiring (e.g., a switched outlet or junction box). This step requires an understanding of electrical wiring and should be performed by a qualified electrician if you are unsure.
Carefully mount the ultra-slim lights to the underside of your cabinets using the provided mounting hardware (if applicable) or appropriate adhesive.
Restore power at the breaker to test the lights.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed to work exclusively with the included 8W, 3-port 12Vdc LED driver.
The driver supports a total load of up to 8W. Ensure any additional compatible 12Vdc lights do not exceed this limit.
Designed for indoor, dry environments only due to its IP20 rating.
Care:
Disconnect power before cleaning.
Wipe the lights and driver with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
