iCreating LED Strip Connector Kit4

Easy to use adapters for my patio lights. They work great, just as you're using any of them, make sure when you put the wire in and snap it in, test the lights to verify it's the same color, i did it and secured it and found it the next piece was a different color, the connections must have been barely crooked and caused it make different colors.

I bought 2 strips to use on 2 bunkbeds. I wanted to split the strips in half, and have them continue onto the top bunk without being lit on the connecting piece. This was the perfect kit for this! Others have stated that you need to solder to get this to work, but that has not been my experience. I used the included guitar pick looking plastic piece to cut under the silicon and expose the copper wiring, and cut the silicon away with a pair of scissors. I placed that under the clamp on a connector, used the dual pin connectors to connect to the next piece, and placed black electrical tape over the connections. It worked flawlessly! I wish I knew which pieces I would need ahead of time, because the connectors that have black on one side and white on the other are needed on either end of the 6ft connectors to do what I needed to so, so I was only able to split one of my two cables the way I intended. It looks gorgeous though, and everything did exactly what I needed it to do. This is a perfect set for extending and combining LED strips. I tried to move one of the adhesive clips, though, and some of the adhesion peeled away in the middle, exposing the rubber underneath, rendering it pretty much unusable after that. I am sure it wasn't intended to be moved, but wish it hadn't ripped the way that it did to make it quite so unusable. I really love these, and am sure i will be buying them again in the future when my next LED project comes up!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: a must for connecting 2 circuits together , but if used in kitchen the grease build up will screw up the connections

I got these for my Bluetooth Govee lights (model H6138) because I got a faulty set that had one section of lights with the green out (shown in 1st picture). Govee did send me a replacement for free after messaging them in the app, but they let me keep the broken ones and I figured I'd see if I could use these clips to fix them. As you can see, it worked like a charm! You just have to make sure the strip is slid under the prongs completely, as shown in my last picture where you can barely see the gold on the strip. Now I feel better about needing to cut my strips to fit a space because I can always clip them back together with these. I haven't tried any of the splitters/extenders/corners so I can't speak to those, but the connector clips work as well as I'd hoped!

My soldering abilities are to say the least, limited ;). Last time I worked with LEDs I damaged a few because I wanted to be cheap and decided to solder the lights instead of getting connectors. This time around, I went with them and you can’t argue with the results. I was able to illuminate my desk as I envisioned. On a side note, I wasn’t even going to write a review for these ones as I thought that for the price point they were the best ones you could get but I saw a few of the reviews saying that these don’t work with waterproof LEDs. That is not accurate. As you can see in the picture, mine are waterproof. Also attached a video showing that there’s zero lag between connected sections. In order to use the connectors all you need to do is remove the waterproof material from the conductive dots and connect it as expected. You can always apply silicone to the connector edges for peace of mind. If someone wants to know more about my setup, and verify my light strips are in fact waterproof, these are the lights I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZZLHYB2/ref=cm_cr_srp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 They worked for what I wanted but I would only recommend them when on sale. Had a few issues with them, none related to these connectors, this is my review for those: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z1U6Y52O8VR5?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp

Do not buy this kit if you don't have a soldering iron. I was already expecting to do some soldering work since the 4 wire cable is cut to fit, but the kit doesn't come with extra 4 pin female connectors, so I had to cut the clip ends off of the shorter jumpers and solder them to the ends of my extension wire. I also covered my soldered connections with heat shrink sleeves, and unless you already have this type of equipment at hand, I wouldn't recommend this kit. Next, the concept of a clip connection is a joke. The clips are totally unreliable, and it didn't take much experimentation before I realized that the connections needed to be soldered. I was working with both waterproof and non-waterproof light strips--both need to be soldered for a reliable connection. My tips for working with the L and T connectors: Method 1: Pull the plastic clips off of the connectors and throw them away. Tape the led strips and connector down to a board to hold them in place while you solder the strips to the connector. Do this before you peel and stick the light strips. Method 2: This method is helpful if you want to put the connector on in place while you are sticking your led strip to the wall or ceiling. Start by prepping your strip ends by putting a small bead of solder on each lead. Use a knife to pry up the metal pins in the plastic connector clips to make it easier to slide in the strip ends. Slide the connector onto the strip end, the beads of solder will be under the metal clip pins. Now use your hot soldering iron to push down on top of each clip pin--it will melt the solder underneath and create a reliable connection. After working with these, I really don't think there could be a reliable solderless solution out there. The strip connection leads are just too unreliable with any type of contact only connection. Save yourself the hassle and plan to solder the connections from the start.

Excellent package of connectors for installing LED lightstrips. This package appears to have high quality components with sufficient instructions to enable their use. This purchase is one of the ones where you spread everything out and inspect the connectors, count to be sure you received everything advertised, then, quite satisfied, you wonder how they can put together such a package for this incredibly low price? I mean, sure, you assume it's from China (or similar origin) and their labor is cheap, etc. In addition to the project underway, I can do a couple of additional projects with the leftover connectors. Outstanding, highly recommended.

This is an essential kit to go along with the Tingkam Striplights. Pro's: Splicing is extremely simple (refer to the YouTube Instructions). The screwdown braces are helpful as the strips are prone to lift - be sure to thoroughly clean under counter especially near a stove where you've cooked with grease for a billion years. However.. Cons: The jumpers seem to need some dialelectric to make a more permanent connection. You have to play with the seating just a bit for them to connect all colors or work at all. Big Con: Would be EXTREMELY nice if the other jumpers between the pre-fab'd ends connecting the transformer to the strip light were included. I did not know to order them and ended up cutting/soldering/shrink tubing (@#$%). BE MORE CLEAR with your INSTRUCTIONS Tingkam. Regardless of these minor details, we stuck the landing.
