💪 Key Features & Advantages

🔌 Plug-and-Play Simplicity

No wire stripping, crimping, or electrical expertise required. Simply connect LED fixtures to the pre-positioned connectors and you’re done. Installation time is reduced by up to 70% compared to traditional hard-wired systems.

🔄 Loop Design Eliminates Voltage Drop

Unlike daisy-chained systems where LEDs at the end of the chain are dimmer, the loop configuration ensures every LED receives consistent power. Your first light shines as brightly as your last – guaranteed.

💧 Professional Waterproof Connectors

IPX5-rated connectors are specifically engineered for wet environments. The circular keyed design prevents incorrect connections while maintaining water resistance even after hundreds of connect/disconnect cycles.

📏 Optimized Connector Spacing

With connectors positioned every 1.2 meters (48 inches), the cable perfectly adapts to the contour of standard spa shells without excess cable or awkward gaps. Clean, professional installations every time.

🎨 Unlimited Creative Control

When paired with the in.mix 300 lighting console, you gain complete control over colors, brightness, and dynamic effects. Create custom lighting scenes, schedule automatic color changes, or sync lights to music – all from the in.touch 2 smartphone app or compatible keypads.

🔧 Service-Friendly Design

Need to replace an LED or reconfigure your lighting? Simply unplug the connector – no need to cut cables or rewire. Service calls are faster, and maintenance is hassle-free.

📈 Scalable System

Start with basic lighting and expand later. Add more LED fixtures to unused connectors, or install a second loop for larger installations. The system grows with your needs.

🛠️ Installation Best Practices

Planning Your Layout

1. Map Your Spa – Identify desired light locations (jets, seating areas, steps, perimeter)
2. Count Your LEDs – Calculate total LEDs needed (max 60 per output pair)
3. Route the Loop – Plan cable path along spa shell contour for clean installation
4. Position Connectors – Align connectors with planned LED locations
5. Leave Service Access – Ensure connectors remain accessible for future maintenance

Installation Steps

1. Power Off – Disconnect spa power before installation (safety first!)
2. Connect Main Input – Plug female connector into in.mix 300 output
3. Route Cable Loop – Secure cable along spa frame/shell contour using cable ties
4. Connect LED Fixtures – Attach Spyder cables or clusters to T-shaped connectors
5. Test Before Closing – Power on system and verify all LEDs function correctly
6. Secure & Seal – Secure all cables and ensure connections are protected from water spray

⚠️ Critical Installation Notes

• ❌ Do not exceed 60 LEDs on outputs 1+2 combined
• ❌ Do not exceed 60 LEDs on outputs 3+4 combined
• ❌ Maximum system capacity: 120 LEDs total
• ✅ Always use genuine Gecko in.lu.me components – mixing brands voids warranty
• ✅ Avoid sharp bends – maintain minimum bend radius to prevent cable damage
• ✅ Keep connectors accessible – don’t permanently bury connectors in foam insulation

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this cable loop with my existing spa controller? A: The in.lu.me Cable Loop is specifically designed for Gecko’s in.mix 300 lighting system and V3 control systems. It is not compatible with standard 12V spa light controllers or other manufacturers’ systems. You’ll need a compatible Gecko controller (see compatibility list above).

Q: How many LED fixtures can I connect to this 8-connector loop? A: You can connect up to 8 LED fixtures directly (one per connector). However, the actual LED count limit is based on your control system: maximum 60 LEDs per output pair (outputs 1+2, outputs 3+4), with a total system maximum of 120 LEDs. For example, you could connect eight 6-LED Spyder cables (48 LEDs total), or seven 6-LED Spyders plus one 9-LED cluster (51 LEDs total).

Q: What’s the difference between the 4-connector and 8-connector cable loops? A: The 4-connector loop (IN.LU.ME-LOOP-4-L) has connectors spaced 2.44m (96″) apart with a 9m total length – ideal for smaller spas. The 8-connector loop (this product) has connectors spaced 1.22m (48″) apart with a 10.36m total length – providing twice as many connection points for larger installations or more complex lighting designs.

Q: Are the connectors truly waterproof? A: The connectors are rated IPX5, which means they’re water-resistant and protected against water spray from any direction. This is appropriate for spa environments where connectors may be exposed to splash or spray. However, they should not be fully submerged underwater. For underwater installations, connect LED fixtures that are rated for submersion – the connectors themselves should remain above the waterline or in splash-only zones.

Q: Can I cut the cable to shorten it or reposition connectors? A: ❌ No, do not cut the cable. The in.lu.me system uses pre-wired connectors with specific wiring and resistances. Cutting the cable will void your warranty and may damage your control system. If you have excess cable, simply coil it neatly and secure with cable ties in an accessible location. If you need different connector spacing, consider the 4-connector loop or the compact version (IN.LU.ME-LOOP-8-C) with varied spacing.

Q: What happens if I don’t use all 8 connectors? A: No problem! You can use as many or as few connectors as you need. Unused connectors should be sealed with the IN.LU.ME-CAP end cap (part 0699-500023) to maintain waterproofing. This also gives you the flexibility to start with basic lighting and expand later by plugging into unused connectors.

Q: Can I connect this cable loop directly to my spa pack? A: No, the in.lu.me Cable Loop requires a compatible Gecko lighting controller (in.mix 300 or V3 system) as an intermediary. The cable loop connects to the controller’s lu.me output port, and the controller connects to your spa pack. The controller is what provides the DMX/RGB control signals and power regulation for the LEDs.

Q: Will this cable work with my smartphone for control? A: Yes! When connected to an in.mix 300 system paired with compatible Gecko spa packs, you can control your lighting via the in.touch 2 smartphone app (iOS and Android). This gives you full control over colors, brightness, effects, and scheduling from anywhere. You can also use Gecko’s physical keypads (in.k1000 or in.k300 series) for control.

Q: How do I know which connector is number 1, 2, 3, etc.? A: The cable loop has one distinct female 4-pin connector – this is your input connector that plugs into the controller. The 8 T-shaped connectors are numbered sequentially from that starting point. However, since this is a loop design, the specific order doesn’t affect functionality – you can plug LED fixtures into any available connector.

Q: What’s the warranty on this cable loop? A: This product carries Gecko Alliance’s standard manufacturer warranty. For specific warranty terms and conditions, please refer to your point of purchase or contact Gecko Alliance directly. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not cover damage from improper installation, cable cutting, over-voltage, or exceeding LED capacity limits.

Q: Can I daisy-chain multiple cable loops together? A: The in.mix 300 system has 4 output zones, so you can connect up to 4 separate cable loops (one per output). However, you cannot daisy-chain loops end-to-end – each loop must connect independently to an in.mix output. This is actually an advantage: it prevents voltage drop and ensures consistent LED brightness across all fixtures.

Q: How do I troubleshoot if some LEDs aren’t lighting up? A: Follow this checklist:

1. ✅ Verify power to in.mix 300 controller
2. ✅ Check that total LED count doesn’t exceed 60 per output pair
3. ✅ Confirm all connectors are firmly seated (you should hear/feel a click)
4. ✅ Inspect connectors for debris or water intrusion
5. ✅ Test LEDs on a different connector to rule out fixture failure
6. ✅ Verify cable isn’t kinked or damaged
7. ✅ Check in.mix 300 settings to ensure output is enabled

If problems persist, contact technical support with your system configuration details.

Q: Is professional installation required? A: While the in.lu.me system is designed for straightforward installation, we recommend professional installation if:

• You’re unfamiliar with spa electrical systems
• Your spa requires extensive disassembly for access
• You’re installing 60+ LEDs in a complex configuration
• You need to integrate with existing spa controls

DIY installation is feasible for experienced spa owners with basic electrical knowledge, but always follow local electrical codes and disconnect power before working on your spa.
