Connect Multiple Led Strips Together

To connect your led strip lights you can either use a connector for easy attachment or you can solder the wires to the strip which carries more current and creates a more stable connection.

Connect multiple led strips together.

The main disadvantage of this approach is that it will require a bit more wiring work. To connect the multiple strips a connector block is used which is known to split the power supply into many outputs. In a parallel circuit all the positive connections are tied together and back to the positive output of the led driver and all the negative connections are tied together and back to the negative output of the driver. This is no different with led strips.

The main challenge is that most power supply units will only have one of each positive and negative output wires so to connect that to more than one led strip section will require you to split that output into multiple wires. I got the minger rgb led light strips and they didn t c. Lets take a look at this in the image to the right. Fun and creative projects with leds can be made with just a little bit of knowledge.

These led strips usually come in a 12 volt size so they require a constant 12vdc input. Whichever method you choose make sure you cut your light strip along the designated cut points to ensure your lights will work if necessary. Vetco recommends as a general rule not to connect more than three complete strips end to end without adding in extra higher gauge power wire or additional power supply units down the line. Ok i made this video for anyone who has led light strips that didn t come with any connector cables.

Luckily a 12vdc input is a very low voltage. This is important when you re connecting multiple led strips to a single power source. Hitlight s connectors and wiring are used to connect and wire your led strip lights to each other or to other accessories such as a dimmer a controller a power adapter smart lighting options etc. Two or more one color led strips to the power supply more led strips can be attached if the power supply and the transformer is powerful enough to support it depending on output wattage.
