How do I connect LED strips together?

2024.05.20

Connecting LED strips together requires the following steps, but please follow the specific instructions for the LED strips you have purchased, as different brands and models may have different connection methods. Below are the general steps:


Check the light strip connectors: most LED light strips come with pre-installed connectors that allow you to connect one section of light strip to another. Look at the end of the light strip to find these connectors. They may be plug-in or require soldering.


PREPARE TO CONNECT: If you are using plug style connectors, make sure that the plugs on both sections of light tape match the sockets. If soldering is required, make sure you have the proper tools such as a soldering iron and fine soldering wire.


Connecting the light strip: For plug-in connectors, simply insert the plug at one end into the socket at the other end. Make sure the plug is fully inserted and locked into place to avoid poor contact that could cause the light to not come on or flicker.



For light strips that require soldering, clean the section to be soldered, then use a soldering iron to melt and apply solder wire to the metal contacts. Align the metal contacts of the two sections of the strip and gently press them together, allowing the solder to naturally connect them. When finished, check that the solder joints are secure and there is no risk of short-circuiting.


Test the connection: Before installation, switch on the power to test if the light strip is working properly, make sure all sections are lit and there is no flickering or abnormality.


Fixing and hiding the connector: For safety and aesthetics, make sure the connector is fixed in the proper position, you can use electrical tape or special LED strips fixing clips to fix it and hide it as much as possible.


Please note that basic electrical safety rules should be followed during operation, please operate without power to avoid the risk of electric shock.
