Crazy that these companies sell these with no instructions on how to connect the lights using the connectors. You got to wonder how many people are returning these all cut up cuz they can't figure it out. Literally nothing in the instructions on how to do this.

This is the most detailed method I have seen about cutting and extending the light strip, and it uses an RGBCW light strip. This light strip is more complicated to connect than single color light strip, and it also explains the connection accessories at the corners. Very useful, great video. keep going.

Appreciate you shedding some light on this subject ( all Puns intended ) A couple of years ago @ Huntsville Hamfest I purchased a couple of strips without any intention of connecting them together. Recently during building the Tennessee Valley Model Railroaders N Scale double deck layout ( Bell Buckle, Tennessee) Several members used RGB Strips for lighting underneath the upper deck. Which has inspired me to explore using RGB Strips in my home. Thanks for sharing this video & information.

THANK YOU, for posting - I hate it when a company makes an item and the store stocks it and sells it, but doesn't stock the parts to use it to its full amount. Nowhere in the store, nor online store, sells the splicer kit for 5 terminal lite strip. I had to have my daughter, who has an Amazon account, to order my kit. That's absurd ! Thanks for posting this training video

When it comes to cutting, can we just trim it and still be good to go with the shortened strip?

@tristenjarrell9335 2 жыл бұрын

Ok I just want to cut them bc they are to long and put that somewhere else so I cut it on the copper and then I have to get clips? And I can't just move the rest of the strip elsewhere and call it a day? Cause it's Bluetooth. Edit : I don't know what I'm doing
