[QUOTE="videoman3857, post: 85239, member: 25346"] LOL I use solder and heat shrink as its the only way to connect the cables to the led strip lights - try doing that with a wire-nut....I don't think so. I too make up extension leads with pigtails - solder and resin heat shrink was the only way I knew how to connect the pigtail to the cable. I might give the heat shrink butt connectors a go - just to see how quickly I get the job done. - Nothing worse than soldering the joints and then realising you forgot to slip on the heat shrink ! On another note, my Dumb RGB extension leads are made from .5mm x 5 core irrigation electric cable. The cores are generally White, Black, Red, Green and Yellow. I pair up the White and Black for the +ve and then the Red to Red LED, Green to Green LED and Yellow for Blue LED. This give me excellent voltage over the distance of the leads. The only minus is the red case and the wire is fairly stiff. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
