Light Bar Ambient Lighting

Step 3 Mark and Measure

Mark the LEDS

Light Bar = 5 feet = 60".
Take off 2" on each side for the Insulated Clamps and connectors = 56".
9 Modules of 2 LEDs each = 18 LEDs.
56/8= 7" of spacing. (We divide by 8 rather than 9 because 2" is the where the first module goes).

For a light bar 5 feet long, each module should be spaced 7 inches apart. Get a measuring tape or yard-stick and with a pencil mark these slots for a 5' light bar.

2"
9"
16"
23"
30"
37"
44"
51"
58"

Now the LEDs should be spaced 1 inch apart. So at each of the previous marks, measure 1/2" on each side and make a plus with a pencil (Try to put it near the middle of the width of the bar). This is where each LED will go.

Measure the Length of the Speaker Wire.
This is fairly simple. Just stick your wire along the bar and measure out 8 or so extra inches. These 8 inches make up for any slack within the bar, and provide extra wire to connect to power supply. When you are finished, you'll just cut off the extra anyways.

Pull the two speaker wires apart from each other, we want them to be separate (see picture).
