I'm about to start slicing up my RGB strip on to conduits.
I'm rather undecided as to weather I should slice it in to many to 2 to 2.5m sections - or is it stick to single much longer lengths? Each length would have connectors on either end.
Shorter Lengths:
For:
* Easier to store & handle?
* Easier to transport (eg: fits in car - might be good for parties as well!)
* Can swapover smaller 'pre-fab' sections for repair
Against:
* Main concern... will the increased cap between the stripes end to end (for the cable connections) be noticeable from the ground? Considering all the other lights on the strip are evenly placed, will an 50mm/2" gap be that noticable?
* More joins/work
Be interested to know what others who have been done this path have experienced.
