RGB + Dynamic Tunable White Solderless Grip Connectors FAQ:
Q: What are the advantages of solderless connectors?
-No soldering required
-Install LED strip lights in seconds
-Easily attach an additional strip to the run of the lights
-Easy to connect and disconnect
Q: Can I load the connectors with more than 5 amps?
It is not advisable to overload the connectors as this will result in future damages to the connectors and your setup.
Q: Which connector should I use to turn a corner?
The C2 connectors are typically used throughout our series for corners, bends and jumps shorter than 8”.
Q: I have a jump longer than 6”, how can I make that extension?
With longer jumps you can connect low voltage wire to two of the no-wire C1 connectors and extend your run as required. Alternatively, you can splice additional wire into any of the connectors that already have wire, secure the splices with wire nuts, crimp connectors, or terminal blocks.
Q: What wire should I use to make extensions?
Depending on the series of LEDs you are working with and the length you intend to run the wire, you would need to factor in voltage drop. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician which wire gauge would work best for your setup. Connectors come with 20-gauge stranded low voltage wire and can be spliced with any wire your electrician suggests. In this case we recomend using our 6-conductor wire
Q: Are these connectors a better option than soldering directly to the LED strip?
We always suggest soldering as the best option for a long term solution. Sometimes the connectors can be bumped or knocked off. In high vibration areas, it may cause the connector to come loose from the strip. Soldering is better if your soldering skills are pristine as the solder pads are very small and the solder joints cannot touch.
Q: What do I do If my lights aren't lighting up?
1. The red wire is not always positive! Depending on the side of the LED strip you hook the connector up to, the - or + wires can be a differently assigned color than another connector. Make sure you follow the markings on the strip to indicate which colored wire will be Red, Green, Blue, Warm White, and Cool White, and which will be assigned positive.
2. Also, make sure the flap is closed all the way. If the lights slip out of the connector it is not closed all the way. Be gentle.
3. Check your power supply and make sure it is hooked up correctly and V+ and V- on the LED strips are correctly aligned.
