I used this product to connect them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062RBR84/ref=pe_851170_121829890_em_1p_0_ti It worked well.

What I have done in that case, and I've done it a lot, is cut at the "scissors" mark, where there is a pair of connections. Solder a pair of wires from the end of one segment to the next. Keep in mind that polarity matters, + to +, - to -. There are products available, as mentioned in the other answer, but I have had problems with getting good continuity with the water proof style strips, they do work well with the non water proof version. Also they are too short to go from shelf to shelf, only 6" or so.

Yes, you can cut them into three light strips. That's the shortest length, or you can cut longer strips, 6, 9, 12, etc. lights in the strip. You need to use the connectors if you want to string strips together or you can solder electrical wires to each strip to connect them. I soldered mine but the connectors would be easier. Hope that helps. Oh, they work and look great, really bright.

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!

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. (see: http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-strips-and-bars/mrgb-a4-mini-rgb-amplifier/1089/2587/?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=base&utm_content=MRGB-A4&utm_campaign=GoogleBaseChild&gclid=CKzD_5-r7boCFURp7AodJHYA3w )

No, this doesn' work for conrer install. The shelf will interfere with two side walls.

Mine came with an installation guide and a cutting template. I installed mine on a 2" butcher block counter as a top mount and the clips that came with it are very difficult to attach, it's like they are too small. If you have a specific question, I can check my installation guide and try to answer.

I removed my shelf before installing mine. Works perfect. I used a small hand held hitachi disc saw or variable speed disc saw with a diamond blade. Worked great. These shelves are built solid and easy to install. You will not be sorry you bought it. Well worth the money.

You need to get end piece connectors and a crimper. Cut a small piece off the wire, if you have wire to spare, and ask at the hardware store what size and type of connectors you need.

I would connect them all together in a splice or saulder them together, it should work just fine!

The lights I purchased have a two wire pig tail on one end to attach to the required power supply. The other end was simply cut square. I did purchase end connectors that had two wires attached (+Red and -Black) that the square cut end of the light strip would plug into. Conceivable you could daisy chain several strips together using that arrangement as long as your power supply is rated for the current. I'm sure some supplier has a type of connector that accepts the raw ends of two strips for an electrical connection. It should be noted that the lights in strip form are not protected from the elements or contact with metallic surfaces. Mine are placed behind a wood molding under the cabinets. I modified the molding to place the strip at a 45 degree angle and just hot glued them in place. Easier than any other lighting I looked at. The power supply is very compact and efficient. I think they are excellent. There is an even flooding of light over the countertop and they always run cool. Good Luck with your project.

Dimensions depends honestly on how you want to set it up. Each long shelf measure around 7' . I did my own customization. It depend on your room size, if you have to cut or not

You would need two 10 piece kits. They are supposed to be no more than 3 inches apart so that is 19" per strip. Figure on 6 per side on the 10' bunks and 3 per side on the 5" bunks.

I used a small hacksaw to cut the strips. also use a small metal file to take off the sharp edge. the strip is easy to drill if you need to add more holes. should be a piece of cake, easy install great product.

First, you will need to look at the wattage of each of the strips (the 24 inch are 8 watts). That's a fairly long distance and you will want a power supply at least 1 1/2 times the total wattage you'll need. I have 6 24-in strips in a row and find the ones on the end are not as bright as the ones closest to the power supply. You may want to consider putting the power supply in the middle of the string if possible and use a "Y" connector to split the power both directions to shorten the total distance.

If I am understanding your question, you want to have three posts across connecting two shelves systems together. I have no idea if that's possible. I can say that I love the system as a free standing unit and two standing side by side would work just as well. I also don't know if the manufacturer sell extra posts and feet.

I would probably be able to attach them with hardware. If you want them to connect and match perfectly without any work, maybe not. Although, they might line up next to each other. Good luck to you.
