There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here are a few tips that might help:
1. Be sure this connector is compatible with your strip. It seems some of the reviewers who rated low were using it for double-density or other incompatible LED strips.
2. Each of the white clips of the connectors unsnap from their side and have a hinge on the other side. The LED strip is inserted into a channel, then the clips are folded back over and snapped closed.
3. Make accurate, clean cuts exactly on the cut lines. You will have plenty of room for inserting into each connector.
4. Pay attention to the polarity markings on both the LED strip and the connectors and match them up.
5. DON'T remove the paper over the adhesive backing before you insert the strip into the connector. You would never get it seated all the way into the channel, and even if you did, it would probably result in a loose connection.
6. When I inserted the strips into the channel, I had to push hard. And I mean really hard, to the point where I was worried the strip was going to bend. Just then, it slid right into the channel. So, don't be afraid to use some force.
7. When you close up the connectors, press hard and be sure they snap closed.
As I said, the 3 connectors I used worked perfectly and I have no reason to assume that the 4th would be any different. I thought about deducting a star because of the lack of directions, but as many included product directions are inferior to information and videos you find online anyway, stuck with 5 stars. Buy with confidence; you can do this!
These connectors work great with the HitLights 600 Lite 3528 type LED's. On this strip, if you cut between the pads as indicated in the instructions, there is not enough surface area on the strip to insert into the connector to make an electrical connection. So instead, cut the strip right next to the LED SMD, thus leaving 4 pads to insert into the connector. You may end up sacrificing 3 LED's on the role for your next strip unless you don't have to daisy chain that end. This works reliably well every time. Have only had this working for a week so time will tell. If I have issues down the road with the electrical connection reliability, I will update my review.
=== The Good Stuff ===
* The connectors seemed to make a reliable connection, at least at first. It sometimes took a bit of "futzing" to get a reliable connection especially when using "waterproof" LED strips, but mostly that was just a few seconds of removing the outer covering.
* The wires are just long enough (about 4 inches) that I was able to cut them in half and use each half to connect a piece of LED strip to a power supply.
=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===
* They come with absolutely no instructions. The proper method for hooking up LED strips is not 100% obvious, but there are enough online tutorials to help you out.
* I was a bit concerned about the reliability of these devices, and still am. I don't have any specific concerns, but I couldn't tell what materials the connectors are made out of. Since these connections are typically buried inside furniture, and not easy to get at, I am very sensitive to reliability of connectors. As a result, I ended up doing things the old fashioned way, making direct solder connections to the LED strip.
=== Summary ===
These worked well, and are probably fine for 95% of uses. It might take a bit of work to understand how to use them correctly, but once you do, there should be no problems. If I didn't have an application where I never wanted to worry about the connections over time, I would have used these with no hesitation.
