Will they work as a substitution for soldering cut led strips? I need specific lengths of led strips.

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

Not with these LED's. The clips might have trouble grabbing a one inch thick piece, but if you cut your hole really close I thing they will.

YES there are three leds per section that can be cut. there maybe a connecter that can be used without soldering but I have not used it. they seem to be made for soldering with very small solder tabs.

I don't recall actually measuring the strip, as I got these back in 2012. My project required 14. 3 feet (give or take), and I had extra left over. Also, just as an FYI a friend of mine used these to highlight a bar/lounge, and was able to plug three strips in series to one 12v AC/DC adapter. Good luck with your project.

I used them to connect a 24v system drawing over an ampere. They work fine. I soldered the connections with heat shrink tubing over the splice. Take a look at http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm there is a calculator there that is a handy reference.

from what I have heard they will probably work but may not have exact reading due to coding of strips. Go into internet and asks the question and you will find a bunch of reviews and answers

Since these are 12V LEDs, they require a separate 12V power supply and I suspect that the 12V power supply would not handle being on a dimmer circuit. There is a low cost dimmer available, see LE® RF Dimmer for Single Color LED Strips, LED Ribbon, RF Dimmer for 12V DC LED Light Strips, 8A, Wireless Remote Control for All Dimmable 3528 5050 LED Strip

They can be cut every 3 leds which is about every inch and a half, and can be connected to the controller from the length you selected from there. You will just have to solder wires to the strip and connect it to the controller.

I never had any problems soldering LED strip lights except the waterproof ones. The coating has to be removed any place you solder. I have only used the SMD5050 LED's but that should have no effect on soldering. The ones you had trouble with may be a different company or they may make them with a different process. Hope this helps as I havent had that problem.

I would disagree (about them working). I have 24 volt LEDs and they work on 12 volts so it follows that a 12 volt LED strip would work on 6 volts. It will be dimmer/not as bright. That might be acceptable/might not. With my 24 volt LEDs, I was using them for illuminating a sandblasting cabinet so they were rather dim and inadequate for that application.

Hi ! Before you buy it check the " actual transformer for LED ". Check the voltage and the POWER required . Normally LED strings/strips are working at 12VDC . as I do not know your "LED arrangement" I cannot say if this transformer can be used for your application !

You can rather easily solder these together. There are defined split points along the length of the LED strip as well as at the end.

I stripped back about 1/8" and soldered wires directly to the pads. You can also solder stiff square wire so you can use the plugs available for them. Now if your asking how long a strip of LEDs you can use. It really does not make a difference providing you have the proper power source and do not exceed the specifications of these led's.

The LED strip only has a molex connector; this requires a power supply inside a computer to power it. You would rewire the strips to be powered by another 5V source, but I would go with a different DIY solution.

It claims that it can be cut to length, but we had a lot of trouble re-wiring once we cut the pieces. However, since we were also cutting the corresponding product (the LED lights), I cannot say for certain if the reason nothing was working was because of the connectors or the LED's themselves.
