Can you connect the ends of LED light strips together?
The easiest way to connect two LED strips together is to use a LED light strip connecting clip. Two LED strips can be joined with each other using a male to male clip. You can use these connectors to connect two strips together or even connect your LED strip to the power supply.
What happens if you cut LED strip lights?
You can, but we wouldn’t recommend it. By cutting an LED strip light anywhere other than the designated cutting point, you run the risk of damaging the components on the strip itself, as well as the circuit board. This may ultimately result in the strip light not working.
How can I connect my LED light strips to power?
There are many ways to connect your light strips to power. You can connect each strip directly to the socket, this is especially useful when lighting smaller spaces or projects. You can use LED light strip clips to make the connection. Or you can hardwire your LEDs directly to the main power source of your home or building.
Do you need to cut and connect LED tape lights?
Unless you’re lighting a very small project, chances are you will need to cut and connect LED light strips with each other. This is actually one of the greatest benefits of choosing LED tape lights. You can connect multiple strips together to light larger spaces and unusual nooks and crannies.
Can a LED strip light be too small?
Don’t forget to use the right size wires, if the wires are too small your LED strips will be dimly lit, and the wires will get a little warm (you will need to increase the size of the wire). Hope that helps. Do LED strip lights use a lot of electricity?
Do you need solder to connect an LED strip?
But, soldering is not for everyone. It can be messy and requires some practice to do well. Instead, we recommend using solderless connectors. These connectors are designed to clip onto the ends of the LED strip so that the wires make secure contact with the copper pads. Because the clips attach securely, no solder is needed.
