RGBW and IC‑controlled LEDs
Each Chromaglow Pro light contains six diodes: three RGB for color effects and three dedicated white diodes for bright, clean architectural whites.
The dedicated white LEDs in Chromaglow Pro enable precise color temperature control and improved brightness with cooler running.
The IC (integrated circuit) in Chromaglow Pro lights allows individual addressing for smooth effects, segments, and advanced patterns.
Wire orientation and arrows
Chromaglow Pro installs are most reliable when the lights are powered on during installation for continuous validation.
Snap Chromaglow Pro bulbs into track with the arrow pointing away from the power supply and toward the light run.
Chromaglow Pro indicators
Blue Chromaglow Pro lights indicate reversed orientation or polarity at the bulb side, so correct the direction.
An unlit Chromaglow Pro section after a connection indicates a possible positive or negative cross or an open circuit.
Using quick connectors the right way
Strip Chromaglow Pro wire to the manufacturer’s specification, using flat‑wire strippers for flat wire and round‑wire strippers for XPLE round wire.
Lightly twist Chromaglow Pro strands if needed and apply dielectric grease to reduce oxidation and maintain signal quality.
Match Chromaglow Pro wire colors one‑to‑one, insert fully, clamp firmly, and tug‑test each lead.
Placement
Place Chromaglow Pro connectors behind tracks, inside junction boxes, or behind soffits because the connectors are not waterproof and should avoid direct exposure.
Cable management
Use strain relief on Chromaglow Pro cables and avoid sharp edges, deburr track cuts, and keep connections out of drip paths.
Splits and Power‑T injections
Splits with T‑connectors
Use Chromaglow Pro T‑connectors to branch in multiple directions while keeping junctions discreet and protected.
Power injection with Power‑T
The 48V Chromaglow Pro design supports up to approximately 300 ft of consecutive lights before power injection is required.
Use the Chromaglow Pro Power‑T with the arrow indicating power flow away from the controller and do not back‑feed upstream.
Plan Chromaglow Pro injection points near corners or discreet soffit areas and protect added power supplies with rainproof or watertight enclosures.
Long extension runs
Chromaglow Pro runs up to approximately 30 ft from the box to the first light without a booster are typical, and for longer runs add a signal booster or insert a light as a signal repeater.
Safety and workmanship
De‑energize Chromaglow Pro circuits when terminating wires and re‑energize to validate after each section.
Maintain Chromaglow Pro drip loops on exterior penetrations so water sheds before entering walls.
Use aluminum cable clips for exposed Chromaglow Pro XPLE runs across roofing where needed.
Quick checklist
Chromaglow Pro arrows oriented away from the power supply with validation performed while lights are on
Chromaglow Pro connectors greased, clamped, tug‑tested, and protected from weather
Chromaglow Pro splits planned discreetly and Power‑T used only when needed and oriented correctly
Chromaglow Pro injection points and enclosures protected and penetrations sealed with exterior‑grade sealant
Chromaglow Pro cable routes secured with strain relief and no sharp‑edge contact
