I recently converted a bus/motor home ceiling lights to LED using LED strips, cut into short strips. I also fixed up a trailer's lights with LEDs the same way.......It was a PITA. I had to strip the plastic from each min-strip's connector tab area then solder.....again and again and....it also took quite a lkot of time.
I now want to use strips for veranda and shed lighting and I have found that the higher-power (5050 etc), if left in a full strip, lose a HEAP of power due to strip loss in the conductors, which are too fine for a full length let alone chained strips. So a few feeder cables would not go astray.
So I have seen the garden lights where you just clamp the cables with a little plastic gizzmo that has spikes to contact the conductors. Can you get these for LED strip lighting?
Thanks for any help.
