Review on πŸ”Œ HitLights LED Light Strip Connector - 6 Inch Any Angle Strip to Strip, 12 Pack: 8mm Single Color 3528 by Mike Rice

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Update, they DO NOT WORK. added later. (simple or good.)

These connectors will NOT connect. You are not working. I will return them for a refund. Transparency. what does that even mean? Well, I gave him zero too. Price-performance ratio. Well since they don't work they have no value and are a waste of money and most importantly a waste of time trying a product that doesn't do what I bought it for. Now if you have to deal with sending it back. What a problem! I've been working on plugs again. I recommend that. DO NOT cut fasteners along a cutting line that leaves equal portions of copper connection points on both ends. Trim it to leave almost ALL the copper pieces to connect under the metal tabs. This provides a large area that can be used as a contact point. This works very well. I've also tried making the strip thicker as others have suggested and it sometimes worked. But the wrong move and the light goes out. Bad connection! So I recommend cutting on the other side of the connecting tabs rather than in the middle. Even with idiots, the connection is strong. I attached my new cord to the first set ordered and they are connected to my room. They go around the wall and out into the hall. Above and around the washer and dryer in the closet lighting our hallway across from the bathroom. I turn it off as a night light so I have a dim glow to get up at night and go to the bathroom. A better product would be one that turns on automatically when the light is low and STAYS ON BY the backup battery during a power outage. I'll look for those lights. I'm only giving the product three stars because you have to fiddle with it and DO NOT FOLLOW the instructions (video) to make it work.

Pros
