Strip Light Accessories

To connect strip lights, start by cutting the strip in a straight line through the middle of the copper pads. Once cut, align the two sections and slide the first section into the appropriate connector. The type of connector you use will depend on your specific needs. A Pigtail Connector is used to add wire leads to the end of your strip light, while a Jumper Connector is ideal for bridging gaps or creating wire jumps between strip sections. To join two strip ends directly, use a Splice Connector. Always ensure the polarity is matched correctly (+ to +, – to –). For a detailed guide, check out our article here.

Mounting channels are necessary for securing and protecting strip lights, improving heat dissipation, and creating a clean, professional finish. They’re especially useful for long-term installations or projects where aesthetics are a priority. 

Choosing the right connector depends on your installation. Use a Pigtail Connector for connecting strip lights to power supplies or accessories, a Jumper Connector for navigating gaps or corners, and a Splice Connector to join two strip ends directly.

Jumper Bite Connectors are perfect for connecting two strip lights with a flexible wire jump, making them ideal for navigating around cabinet ledges or corners. They come standard with a 6” wire length

Solderless Splice Connectors, also known as Spice Bite Connectors, are used to join two strips directly without soldering. These are commonly used for repairing broken sections of strip lights or reconnecting strips after an accidental cut.

Pigtail Bite Connectors are the most popular type of connector. They allow you to connect strip lights to power supplies, controllers, and other system accessories using extension wires.
