Can you connect two or more sets of LEDs together without soldering?

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

No, both ends were bare wire. I put two rolls of the yellow in my boat and love the look. I wired them as courtesy lights, so I used existing wires on the boat. Very easy installation.

Also you will not need to do anything else to them. Just plug and play. Once plugged in. The LEDs would come on automatically.

HI... it doesn't look like you can replace the LEDs. The lighting strip is part of the overall circuit assembly.

LEDs can handle being connected in reverse polarity, they just won't light up. Connect it one way, if it doesn't light up, reverse it and mark it with a sharpie.

They can be cut every 3 LEDs, in order to do what you want, I did the same thing essentially. I took speaker wire and soldered it to the corresponding places + and -, so yes you are able to do that. Hopefully this helps

If you're talking about a long roll strip, one end has the pin connectors and the other end has wires to splice what I did was cut in half,bought a separate power supply and spliced wires. If you're talking about short LED strips, I don't think you can cut those and use again without Soldering

You can connect the output end of one string to the input end of another string. You will have to disconnect the 12V supply from input end of the string to do this. You can likely run 10 or 15 strings of lights from one of the 12v supplies.

No. a special tool is recommended but I found soldering them was easy. Good luck

The end of the LED strip has a set of contacts imbedded in the base strip. You can cut the strip at a specific point every few inches, or at the end. To add another LED light strip, you will need a plastic connector (about 50 cents) that attaches to the contactacts on end of the first strip, then you insert the next strip in the other end of the conncector. Is very easy, some connect direct, other have a short jumper wire in the middle, and other still have a 90deg turn in them.

Pretty easy. Just connect them all in parallel. Basically, just connect one lead from rack light unit to the black wire coming from the switch. Then connect the other lead from the light unit to the white wire returning to the box. Note: these lights do not require the third ( ground) wire.

I don't think so but, if you can afford to experiment, see what happens. Me I thinke it might be wiser to use 2 sets of lights. with separate dimers. This would be the save way to do it.

I honestly don't know if the many individual LEDs can be easily replaced. However, the incidence where one would burn out is very unlikely and even then the chance of enough burning out to affect the output of the lamp in lumens is extremely low, if not impossible.

You can, but I wouldn't use solder. They make connection clips so you don't have to solder at all. The reason is because it has 4 very small contacts that need to be separate or it won't work

No. Watch a few youtube videos. If you know how to solder it isn't too complicated.

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.

it depends on the type of controller. I have a 12v switch with hard-wire connecters and buttons to control the type of lights I need on. So yeah you can connect 2 or more sets of lights

It does have the connectors for it so in theory this should work. I haven't tried it, but I imagine the difficulty you might face would be how long it would take to send enough data to update each of the LEDs. Your controller would need to be able to handle that many.
