Important Installation Information

24V DC LED Driver Required

The Philips LS161 operates on DC 24V and must be connected to a compatible 24V constant-voltage LED driver.

Do not connect the LED strip directly to Singapore's 230V AC mains supply.

For a complete 5-metre roll:

• Power consumption: 13W × 5m = 65W

• Recommended LED driver capacity: At least 80W, preferably 100W, subject to actual driver specifications and installation requirements

• Longer installations may require additional power injection to minimise voltage drop.

For optimal heat dissipation and long-term performance, installation in a compatible aluminium LED profile is recommended.
