Sorry, I can't give you an answer. I'm waiting for son-in-law who knows about such things to come install these lights to increase illumiation around our washer/dryer in the basement. WDR

Love this item. It is terminated on both ends with a simple plug in to the included power supply.

You can use this Connector Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 10) 5 Male Jack DC Power Adapter & 5 Female Jack DC Power Adapter ConnectorAnd then you can power it with this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKU7U6W

Once the strip has been cut, it is no longer attached to the power so it will not light. You will need to re-splice it to the strip that is connected to the power adapter.

I think your talking about the wire stripper.You put the wire thru it and apply lite pressure to strip the end of the wire so

Hi ! the USB strip you asked about is powered by pluging the USB connector into your computer or other device. When it is pluged into the Computer USB port or other device, it is powered up. To confirm this push the on off switch be each open USB port on the hub, a blue light will come on showing that port is on. This is handy for connecting 7 USB devices that can be turned on or off at your choice. you can have any combination of devices either on or off as you wish, the power to the strip you have purchased comes from the computer or other device that it is connected to.

I cut plug end off and ran it threw a light dimmer switch to be able to control the output of this machine. Works good when you do that.

Open it like I did or use Red and Blue wires to a standard 110V plug. Snip off the yellow or use it for ground if you have a 3 screw plug.

There is a 12v/300mA output terminal strip. It can be configured as normally open OR normally closed.

I rigged my strips up to an on-off switch which I bought at AutoZone. Very easy to do.

After every 3 LED's there is a CUT (scissors) line, and right after that line are 2 round contact points. Solder your new wire leads to these. I found it best to TIN the contacts (because they're under the thin plastic coating) and the wires first, then solder them together. I also use RED wire on the side marked DC12V so I'll always know which is the (+) power side of the strip.

You can either cap the wires or just cut the strip off with scissors or pliers at the last cut line before the 2 leads. It won't hurt a thing. I've done a decent number of led tape installs and am a licensed electrician. Hope this helps.

Only if you want to cut the wire and reconnect it. (Warning) if you cut the wire it is a fine wire and difficult to handle, reconnect, & strip the wire. You must do it taking your time. But it can be done. But I do not change my opinion of the light they are dim and not reliable.

I use an x acto knife to cut the resin behind the terminals on the stripping. Then you can bend at the cut and peel off to end of strip to solder.

For most strips for every 2 you will need a amplifier. For my setup, I used a music controller which has a 12V source then hooked up the amplifier in series after the first strand. I then have two strips after that.

Needs to be hardwired then plugged into a 120v 2 or 3 prong outlet, EZ to do with a basic stripper.

If I'm not mistaken, according to the website you need a 12-volt power supply for up to four strips. http://www.hitlights.com/ls3528-rd-gn-bl-144.html

you cut the strip to use it in other area , if so you need another transformer

You will need to purchase the recommended transformer that will plug into the electrical receptacle and connect to the light strip. The transformer has additional extension length.

They need 12 volts DC, the whole strip needs if I recall needs 2 amps. Not sure of the formula to calculate for part of a strip.
