Fntek 3528 8mm 2 Pin LED Strip Connector Kit with 10x Strip Wire Solderless LED Strip Light Connectors, 10x L Shape 2 Pin Right Angle Corner Connector, 10x Strip to Strip Connectors, 2X DC Connector

I bought outdoor waterproof LED lights and these connectors are not like those self penetrating blue ScotchLok's for 12v electrical wires as I had hoped for! In my case I had to "Dremel off" approximately 1/4" of the thick rubber coating on the LED strip lights to expose enough of paper thin strip light to fit in the tiny slot on the Fntex butt connector and further "etched" the rubber coating off the +/- conductor(s) with the tip of my pocket knife so they would make contact with the tiny metal connectors in the Fntex 3528 connectors. I also had trouble fitting the prepped ends into the connector slots as they wanted to ride over the tiny metal tabs in the Fntex connector instead of under. How I solved that was to pinch the tape slightly and it slid in under the tabs and then when snapped closed the connections were made and the additional 5' of light strip worked. This was a major tedious "micro" surgery but it ended up working well. I'm thinking you must have patience and be somewhat handy to make these work on outdoor coated lights. I suspect indoor LED strip lights are not coated which would make this MUCH easier. I hope this helps someone trying to use these on waterproof LED strip lights! PS I coated the connector afterwards to keep it waterproof.

I was hesitant to purchase these connectors after reading some negative reviews. But the more I read them, the more I realized that the reviewers didn't know what they were doing, did things wrong, and blamed the connectors.I could try to write some detailed instructions here, but I know that some folks have trouble following written instructions. So I've decided to post some photos instead. Look closely at them. You'll see how to properly use these connectors. You don't need vice grips or needle nose pliers or profanity or the strength of a gorilla. You just need to install them properly. The photos will show you how.

I recently did a kitchen remodel and used LED strip lights above/below cabinets and at the floor. They worked so well I just added them to my bar shelves. Easy to do with these wire connections when cutting the lights to length. I used Zip Tie and Cable Tie Squares Adhesive Mounts (100pcs 0.75n, Black with Zip Ties) to mount. I would not rely on the back adhesive that comes with the lights.The lights in the kitchen have been dimmed since this picture was taken.

affordable package for led strips.. please note that the led strips are not all standard as to the distance between the contacts , but a quick bend of the contacts makes for an easy fix.

I bought this to connect a curable led light to setup under a shelf for my plants. I wish it had instructions because I initially set it up incorrectly. Once I got a hang of it, it became much easier. The connection could come loose (there’s a section on mine that sometimes would disconnect and I have to press it hard to get it to light up). Other than that, it’s decent for the price. Oh, the adhesion is not working for me as I have a unsmokth wood finish shelf.

Every connector used from this kit worked the first time out of the box. The Snap fit was Tight, so tight in fact, they wouldn't accept the LED tape until you removed the adhesive backing. One of the Higher quality Kits of this type available. I will buy again if needed.

If you need to string LED strips and turn corners this the ticket. extremely easy to use and modify for particular geometries. Just make sure you have micro tools to modify.
