As expected
Ended up not being what i needed and returned but was exactly as I expected and would be worked had it been the right wires.

This is an easier alternative to soldering however…
I wanted to put LED ribbon lights on a bookshelf so lots of cuts were needed. I didn’t want to solder the connections so I jumped at this option. These DO work, lets make that clear. I just wish the “jaws” of the connector were designed a little more angular to have a better bite on the negative and positive strips. Also when you use the two wire extensions, you REALLY have to take your time to check each connection is secure before you move on because if you don’t you will have a difficult time back tracking where the short it. Is this easier than soldering? Yes, but I do wish these were a little less finicky. If your eye sight isn’t that great, I suggest you get some watch repair magnification glasses to work on these connectors, very small!

A better connector!
I bought these to replace some cheaper connectors with stabby metal prongs that proved to be unreliable, resulting in flickering LED strips. This type with screws provides a *much* better connection. The screws are a little stiffer than I’d like, but my lights have been rock solid since swapping in these connectors. I will only use this type (with screws) on future projects.

Perfect Connections
These made the necessary connection between the LED strips and the wiring harness.

Fantastic idea but doesn’t work well – save yourself the headache and solder the connections
I recently did some extremely cheap under cabinet lighting using a roll of some pretty standard white LED strip lights. Having never soldered before, I was looking for a product that would get me through connecting the led strips across the cabinets. This product was well reviewed and decently priced.I found the experience with these connectors to be very frustrating. They did not provide enough pressure to maintain a solid connection. I connected all of my strips and none would light up with these unless I pressed down hard on the connectors. I did try both with and without the backing paper on the connectors and still had no luck, even tried shimming with some very fine material.At that point I went out and bought a 5 dollar soldering gun from HF (or here – Pit Bull CHIS250L Pit Bull CHIS250L 60-watt Soldering Iron, 20 gauge red/black hookup wire ( 20ga 25′ Red/Black Hookup Wire 12V DC) some heat shrink (Anytime Tools 48 pc HEAT SHRINK TUBING WRAP SLEEVES ASSORTED SIZES), a cheap coil of solder (Alpha Fry AM62964 Cookson Elect Lead-Free Rosin Core Solder ) and learned that soldering these LED strips is pretty darn easy. It was more expensive than these connectors, but worth it, and you may be able to find cheaper versions in your local hardware stores. You can find many videos on youtube about soldering LED strips, and I found the process to be quite simple. I had 14 different soldered connections in my installation and it all worked perfectly the very first time.I also mounted my LED strips using some right angle aluminum channel from a big box store, which allowed me to mount the aluminum under my cabinets using screws and without cleaning off the grease (yeah I know, I’m gross for that), and give the led strips a clean surface to adhere to as well as dissipate heat. It was also very, very inexpensive.This product seemed like the perfect solder free solution and I was so excited to try it, but be warned that it may not work for your particular lights, and even if they do, over time the connection may fail. A soldered connection is going to be much more stable, and I encourage you to check out some youtube videos on soldering led strips. It might be a lot easier than you think!

Tedious to install
I bought these to connect LED under-cabibnet lights. They are very small, and I found it difficult to get a good connection tot he tape and the wires. This is done by means of four very tiny screws which fall out easily and can be very hard, if not impossible, to find. The wires don’t stay in and the LED strip doesn’t connect well. I really wish there were better connectors out there, and I’m looking. I would also add they are just a bit too big to allow the diffuser cover on my lights to fit without cutting away part of the flange on the cover. A minor inconvenience, but it could be better designed in that regard. So, it may work OK for most, but I’m sick of fooling with them and will have to find something else.

These connectors were great for 8mm LED light strips and allowed me to easily split the input.
I used 4 of these to connect some 8mm LED lights to a 24 volt source.I had some wire that I stripped and I was able to use the first connector to split the source in order to run the light strips in two different directions.I found myself wanting to go grab a larger screwdriver as the included one was a bit of a challenge to grip, but I ended up getting it done with the included screwdriver.I also used some double sided sticky tape to mount these.And like other reviews stated I cut the light tape a little off the center line in order to give these a little more surface area to connect. They seem rock solid this way.

It is convenient to use, but the pins in the connector do not align with the LED strip and manual adjustment is required.
