I'm pretty new to this. I had a couple of strings up last year and am planning to expand quite a bit this year.

Does anyone use the AMP Superseal connectors? I used them last year and they seemed to work quite well but I haven't seen anyone else discussing them.
 
the tried and tested standard plugs from raywu or x-connect are available on most strings from most suppliers, they do they job and because they have been the market connectors for so long, most people already have these in there systems,
i have had no issues with my raywu ( except for stupid soldering issues making extension cables) i have over 64 connections to controllers and i have over 40 extensions between props, and never had an issue

probarbly best to stick to the industry standard for simplicity
 
When it more DIY back a few years ago, lots of people used the AMP style connectors. I never had any but according to those that used them, they work well for DIY.
Like Juddge said...since you can get pre-connected connectors on most pixel strings, might as well press the easy button and then buy a handful of pigtails for when you need to diy.

it certainly makes life easier... buy strings with the appropriate pigtails already attached (even more so if you buy custom count strings appropriate for your individual props). I use RayWu pigtails for 5V, x-Connect for 12V so I can't mix them accidently. Saves a lot of hassle and not needing speciality tools for crimping, etc. Sometimes just a bit of soldering of wires, which is relatively straight forward.
 
Ah perhaps that's what I was missing. I've been buying rolls and then making up the strings to suit. Do people tend to measure everything up first and then have them made to order?
