LightingWill 10pcs Pack Strip Wire Solderless Snap Down 2Pin Conductor LED Strip Connector for 8mm Wide 3528 2835 Single Color Flex LED Strips

I was a little hesitant to order these based on some of the reviews indicating the products simply don't work or are unreliable. While I found the clasps a little fiddly (mainly because they are pretty tiny) and the lack of instructions an extremely minor setback, simply examining the photos of the product on the store page, it's pretty easy to figure out. I slid the light strip into the connector with the tape backing intact to make it easier to slide in and applies a little more pressure to the contacts. After I have them in place and locked down, I (very lightly) score the tape backing with my knife and tear the backing off of the light strip to adhere to my surface. The connectors work great and don't seem to be unreliable at all. No flickering, no reduction in brightness, just a great right-angle connector.

These are a nice, small, unobtrusive size that fill well in the narrow spaces where I installed LED strips. Overall 5 stars for function and size. They are slightly difficult to open, you may find that a tiny screwdriver helps pry (carefully!) the flap open. The big warning is to be sure an get the LED strip inserted correctly. If your LED strip has adhesive on the back, either (1) leave the paper backing in place before connecting this or (2) remove the adhesive from the end going into the connector or (3) cover the exposed adhesive with something like a tiny square of cellophane tape. Then, be sure to carefully slide the strip UNDER the tiny tabs at the edge of the connector -- before sliding the strip further under the metal conductors - see the area circled in red on my attached photo. Push the strip fully home before snapping down the cover - and you'll get a nice firm connection that stays put.

First, these work, and they work great. The only thing that I found was that they were consistently a little too small for my LED strips, so I had to put more effort into finding a way to jam them in. Besides that though, I currently haven't found a better solution on Amazon, so this works fine.

Works Great.

great kit, I have used most of it.

hard to uses on 2835 led strip, had to bend strip to get inside base them had to left up contact pin to slide up, lucky the snap on cover pin the contact down, i spend minutes on putting them on, bend do this for years , never had this problem. 2nd they gotten pricier for less, use to find coupling with two females end just cut in half, i am looking some where else to but again for the next job i have.

I was very frustrated with these at first as cutting the light strip on the line they tell you between the two sets of round gold conductors makes these connectors flicker and lose connection. I am using them around my pool and using the wire connectors is not an option, although they work better, but who wants wires hanging in their pool. THE SECRET: After needing to install more sets of lights and dealing with flickering lights already installed, I came to the conclusion if I cut before the two sets of conductors and NOT on the line, I had a better quality connection. The reason being is that the clamps grip the one set of conductors (make sure you wipe off the silicon on the light strip and cut just enough of the plastic housing to slide the strip UNDER the wire contacts) and the two teeth to hold the wire strip in place gives it another solid connection with the other set of round gold conductors. This sounds complicated, but it is not. Just use both sets of contacts and not just one on each side of the connector. I am going to redo the other connectors by cutting further back like I stated and I think that will fix the problem with the flickering from the first set I installed. Bottom line: If you cut on the light strip line where they tell you, you will be disappointed with the connectors.

These connectors cause your lights to dim (the sections beyond the connector(s). They add way too much resistance. I ended up just bending and pinching the led strip for the rest of my bends (see photo) which was WAAAAYYYY simpler and didn't add resistance. I then went back and soldered the connectors contact points, but on one I must have overheated the contact point on the strip because the rest of the strip wouldn't light. I then had to add jumper leads from a contact point that did work. So, after a lot of work, I finally have working lights with all sections at full brightness. I'd recommend trying the screw type connectors instead of these if your set on using connectors, otherwise either bend them, or add jumper wires.

Very good quality

These make life easier with led lights there sturdy and easy to install

Very good as described

Did exactly what I wanted. Easy to fit. Could have done with longer supply cables but ok otherwise
