    LED strip lighting - how's it work?

    This stuff is sold in 5m lengths and can allegedly be cut every 3 emitters...



    If one cuts a number of suitable lengths from it - how do you power it ?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    You solder a new connector on the end - available from Jaycar.

    The one you have highlighted is not very good - these are better - see the connect points 5M 300 Leds 5630 Bright Strip Lighting Waterproof 12V LED Strips Strip Camping | eBay

    "...If one cuts a number of suitable lengths from it - how do you power it ?...

    - With very fine soldering on the pads you've just cut through


    -....and your trusty old 60W Birko iron is gunna be a bit too big...

    Thanks

    (The pic was just for picture purpose not the specific product).


    Seems silly to have easy-cut rolls of lighting with no 'easy connect / easy plug kind of arrangement.
