Although they work better but who needs cords hanging in their pool

I was very frustrated with this at first as cutting the light strip on the line they tell you is rounder between sets Gold wire makes these connectors flicker and lose connection. I use them around my pool and using corded connectors is not an option although they work better but who wants cords hanging around their pool. SECRET: After having to install more sets of bulbs and dealing with the flashing lights already installed, I concluded that I would have a better connection if I cut before the two sets of conductors and NOT on the line. The reason for this is that the terminals grab a set of wires (make sure you've wiped the silicone on the lightstrip and trimmed the plastic housing just long enough for the strip to slip UNDER the wire contacts) and two teeth to hold the wire shut keep . The attached strip makes another strong connection to another set of round gold conductors. Sounds complicated, but it is not. Just use both sets of pins instead of just one on each side of the connector. I'll repeat the other connectors, cutting them further as I said, and I think this will fix the flickering problem of the first set I installed. Conclusion: If you cut off the light bar where you say it will be disappointed with the connections.

Pros
  • a handy thing
Cons
  • Not everything fits
