40 PCS 2-Pin 8mm Solderless LED Strip Connectors, Reliable and Easy-to-Install, Solidly Connected LED Light Connectors

WOW, WHERE WERE THESE WHEN I FIRST STARTED INSTALLING LONG LED STRIP LIGHTS!!!? I HAD BEEN USING THE PINCH DOWN TYPE CONNECTORS FOR ALL OF MY PREVIOUS LIGHT STRIP INSTALLS IN THE PAST. I WAS LEFT WITH A MESS OF LOOSE CONNECTION POINTS THAT WERE HARD TO FIX . i CAME BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD TO SEE IF i COULD FIND A BETTER PRODUCT THAT COULD SOLVE THE 2 MAJOR PROBLEM i HAD WHILE INSTALLING LIGHT RUNS, THOSE WERE BAD CONNECTIONS AND DIFFICULTY REPAIRING THOSE POINTS. WELL, I LEARNED MY LESSON...WITH THESE, IT MAY TAKE A FEW SECONDS MORE TO USE THE TINY SCREW DRIVER TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONS BUT AFTER A VERY LONG RUN WITH AT LEAST A DOZZEN BREAKS, I HAD NO CORRECTION DELAYS BECAUSE EVERY CONNECTION POINT WAS CLEAN AND SECURE. IN FACT, I HAD A SECTION WHERE THE TAPE ALONG THE STRIP HAD LOST ITS HOLD AND ALL THE WEIGHT OF THAT 25 FOOT RUN HAD FALLEN ONTO THAT LAST SPLICE, AND THERE IT WAS...HANGING FROM THAT LITTLE CONNECTOR, HELD SO SECURE THAT I BET I WOULD TEAR THE STRIP ITSELF BEFORE IT COMMING LOOSE FROM THESE BAD BOYS!

This is a great product, will be buying some more.

They will work if you are unable to solder. I bought these thinking it would save me time over soldering each connection. The problem I found with these connectors is that when you tighten up the screws it just bends the plastic. This makes it unable to tighten enough so that the led strips or wires can pull out of the connector. I ended up soldering my connections instead.

Great, cost effective solution to my forte into LED lights around my TV

easy to use

Very convenient Todd price

I am doing a tricky install inside a glass cabinet and need to connect several strips of LED tape together. I though these would be easier than solder. Wrong! These are very finicky and do not want to stay attached to either the led tape or the wires. They are okay for gentle applications, but not if you put any brief stress on the wires or the tape at the connector.

I should have purchased these connectors once I started installing the Hitlights LED lighting. I was using a connector that needed wire nuts and pliers to crimp it closed. Many malfunctions. Not happy. These connectors solved the problem.However I caution you to not over strip the wire, as it can fold over and short out.
