40 Pieces 2 Pin LED Strip Connectors Lights Connector T Shape l Shape Gapless Solderless LED Adapter Light Extension for 3528 2835 SMD RGB Strip (8 Mm)

I installed tape lights in an awkward closet underneath a set of stairs. Never used them before, wasn't really sure what to expect or how to make the connections. After I realized the tape is designed to slide underneath the contacts in these connectors before closing the shell these were very simple to use. The tape lights I used had a very strong adhesive backing, and I found it helpful to stick my finger on the tape a few times at the ends where it would seat in the connector before attempting to slide it in place under the contacts. Makes it easier to jam in the connector which can be a bit like pushing a sticky rope. Anyways, after getting the hang of it these were fairly easy to use and give a pretty clean look at a low cost. I'm very satisfied for what I paid. If you're also new to tape lights, I suggest double checking your polarity each time before making a connection. After making that mistake early in my project I ended up doing the rest live so that I could be sure both the polarity was right and connection was good before locking down the clamp and sticking the tape to the wall. If you do it that way you know each step is right before moving on.

love them

These worked well even though it can sometimes be difficult to make a reliable connection. When cutting the light strips there is such a small spot to make the connection. My wife was very happy with lighting the multiple levels of her display cabinet.

Works well

It is satisfactory. You need one small part and end up with a million left over. Of course, I would probably complain that I didn't enough if there were just the right amount. There was a little trial and error so having extra was good. It fixed my problem.

They had one job! The pins are set too closely for a reliable connection. You can see from the picture that the pins are barely hanging on, and it's a miracle if they happen to touch the copper contacts on the LED strip correctly. After double-checking everything and fussing around with a volt/ohm meter, I determined that everything else works correctly - they just put the connectors in the wrong place. The manufacturer put the pins too close together for modern LED strip lights. Just avoid these.

Perfect to connect your light, easy yo install.

The lights I have were listed as 8mm. However I learned the 8mm is the width of the tape...not the width of the electric tabs. The electric tabs on mine were only 5mm apart. So my 8mm wide tape fit perfectly inside these connectors, but I had to add solder to the tabs on the tape to get them wide enough to make contact with the pins on these connectors.Not a big deal... but wish there were more dimensions listed with connectors and light strips.I have the lights mounted around the inside of a closet door and what an amazing job they do at lighting that closet.The closure on these connectors works great if you don't build your solder up too high. The (+) and (-) were hard to discover at first. They are molded into the white plastic and I ended up marking the polarity with a sharpie for easy reference when putting everything together.
