INT RODU C T ION W E LCO M E Welcome to the Flex Tube Gen 2 range from Acclaim Lighting. These compact and flexible LED powered strips produce a greatly homogenized light output along their full length to provide a viable alternative to other linear light sources, such as neon or cold cathode.
BENDS, FEE DS AND CO LO R S Flex Tube strips are available with two bend options, four choices of power feed and multiple LED emitter colors, which can be mixed in any combination to suit your installation. The overall order code is arranged as follows: F2#-22#-XA#N LED emitter color : 2200K...
INSTA LL AT ION TAKE GREAT CARE TO AVOID DAMAGE DURING INSTALL ATION Flex Tubes will provide many years of reliable service, however, they contain delicate components which are prone to damage if handled incorrectly or treated roughly. Please read and follow all of the directions given on these four pages before attempting to install any Flex Tube: •...
UNPAC K ING CAUTION: Each Flex Tube contains a delicate LED emitter tape which is designed to bend in one plane only (model dependent). Always take great care to avoid twists and kinks or bends in the opposite plane from the intended vertical or horizontal curvature.
BE ND ING FLE X TU BE S Flex Tubes are designed to be bent in one axis only - to a minimum bend radius of 5.9” (150mm): IMPORTANT Do not twist; or bend in the wrong direction. Damage will be caused to the internal circuitry.
C A BL E C A RE Treat the Flex Tube feed cable with care to avoid damage. Please pay particular attention where the cable enters the body of the tube. Failure to do so may break crucial connections and/or damage the waterproof seal.
MOUNTING CH A N N E L KI TS SURFACE AN D REC ESSED These kits are used to mount Flex Tube strips onto/into solid surfaces. KI T CO NTENTS See “Mounting channels - surface and recessed” on page 19 Self-tapping Mounting channel mount screw(s)

3 Push the Flex Tube (front face outwards) fully into the mount channel until it engages with the silicone seals. Note: To further aid long term stability - If mounting inverted or vertically, we recommend that you add dots of silicone sealant (Dow Corning® 799, 1199 or equivalent) at regular intervals between the sides of the Flex Tube and the inside faces of the mounting channel as it is pushed into place.
FLEX IBLE This kit is used to support Flex Tube strips (with horizontal bend profiles) so that they can be formed into curved shapes.

DIMME D (0-10V OR DM X CONT R OL) Use Acclaim Lighting AL Driver 1 [part #: ALD001] + APS-300-24-IP 24V power supply. The AL Driver 1 module controls one spool of Flex Tube, either under control of an external DMX digital signal, an external 0-10V/1-10V analog signal or using standalone intensity mixes.
D IMM ED (D MX CON T R OL ) Use Acclaim Lighting AL Driver 4 [part #: ALD004] + APS-300-24-IP 24V power supply. The AL Driver 4 module controls a single circuit of RGB or RGBW LED tape, either under control of an external DMX signal or using standalone color mixes or chase patterns.
FL EX TU BE SC / DW / SPEC TR UM D IM MED (0-10V, DA LI OR DMX CONT ROL ) Four ports: [part #: AL Driver 200] Six ports: [part #: AL Driver 400] or Ten ports: [part #: AL Driver 800]. The full size AL Drivers provide multi-channel dimming control for Flex Tube strips.
