Hello all, 

 

I am working on a project installing LED strip lighting into a room but I am currently stuck. I am about to order the 4 conductor 22 awg wire [ Link - Amazon ] to get the controller connected to the light strip. The strip travels around the ceiling of a room and naturally the wires out of the controller are only a few inches long with an incredibly short power cable. I am wanting to make custom length extensions so that it is neat, but I am stuck with the female connectors. I know there are plenty of friction fit versions on amazon, but I am wanting to stay away from those. I'd like something I can solder on that will look nice. The ones on the example photo are great, but I can't for the life of me find anything similar to it as a DIY part you can purchase. Might anyone else have experience in using a similar product?

the friction fit ones are fine, if you want anything else you're gonna end up soldering your own connectors to LED strips, which is a big fat "do not recommend".

Yes, I am planning to solder my own wires to the connectors. I have experience as a hobbyist with soldering and am not at all intimidated by it. The issue is just finding the parts needed at the moment.

While not ideal, I found these and they may work, so I ordered some and will try it out.
