Can these strips be connected directly together with the parts that come or will I need to order the short connectors which are $5.00 each.

I was able to do everything with just what comes with the kit. You can hide any excess easily.

The kit comes with everything you need. The description will tell you the lengths of the connectors included. You shouldn't need anything else unless you need something longer or shorter for your application. Great set of lights.

Everything you need to connect the strips together is included in the "super deluxe" package. The only exception would be if you needed some connections across some unusually long distances, in which case you would need to specially order an extra long connector.

Yes, they will connect two LED strips. The distance between the contacts is about 4 mm.

You have to get the connectors and then splice it into the correct wire colors. If you dont want to buy the connectors, you could always match the wire location to the solder point on one LED strip, then match the connection you made with the next LED strip. Thats how i do it and it works just fine. Just be careful of bending the solder points to much. They could break the connection causing the LED strip to not work on one side or maybe one color not showing.

several ways you can go about this. 1- Solder wires from one strip directly to the next and place a shrink tube on either side. 2- Purchase two strip-to-wire connectors and solder the wire ends together. 3- On your existing connectors solder wires to one side and each to create your own custom connector. They also sell connectors with different wire lengths out there, but generally they get a bit more pricey!

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

Yes, you'll need to either solder new wires to the contacts on the strip, or use the "any angle" connectors sold as: HitLights 8mm (SMD3528) Any Angle LED Light Strip Connector - 6 Inch (4 Pack)You will have to cut the quick connecting plug from the new power supply and cut the "any angle connector" wire in half, then just connect the wires red to red, black to black. Be sure you attach the connector to the LED strip red to + and black to -. You can use wire nuts, crimp connectors or solder with heat shrink tubing to make the new wire connection.

I would Solder them . Better connect the cut and twist method . I have six strips tied together

By connectors do you mean the tubing? I had to buy that separately, what you see in the picture is exactly what you get. Hope that helps!

No, they do not. But you can get what you need at the local hardware store. It's standard connections.

This connector comes as one item. You will need two connectors to make a set. Both connectors are identical.

No connector installed no need for them unless connecting two or more together then they're needed. If only one strip alligator clamps or straight wire possible depending on desired use

You can put up to 2 (maybe3) together depending on the power supply you are using. After that you must use a small amplifier for each of 2 more strips.

No they will not. You will need to make a set of pigtails using a set of quick connects with bare wire ends. this will let you use the ones from your panel. Be sure to solder the ends of the bare wires before putting them into the screw downs at the bottom of the controller to give you a good connection.

Don't know, there are 5 pins in the connector and not all manufacturers wire those pins (only 2 are needed) the same. Best route to get your question answered would be to call the vendor directly to field your question. Problems? Call 706.935.0065 and ask for Angela.

Yes, that is what they are intended to do. However, it is not easy to attach these to the LED strips so that the connection is good and they adhere well. I expect to need to replace these with soldered connections when these fail. But for the price, you may find these worth a try.

Yes, all you need to add is a 12VDC power supply and a switch/dimmer.To connect directly to house wiring (not a plug) get a 12VDC supply with leads for wiring.You can cut the strip into shorter lengths, but you need to be able to solder small electronics to add connectors.Kits are available with connectors pre-wired that are easier to use but more expensive.

You have to buy separate strips of light and join them. I think in your original packing, they provide connectors also.
