Save time?: Connector

The idea of connecting LED strips without soldering is attractive, so you will save time when buying this product. The result is a lot of time wasted through frustration. My project requires 4 L connectors, but none of the 12 in the kit will fit. Each connector has 4 pins (common, R, G, B) on each end; For troubleshooting, checking for continuity between each pair (e.g. between R and R) will show that not all four pairs have continuity, rendering the connections unusable. Also, running pairs have a high resistance in ohms, not milliohms, which causes the downstream LEDs to be dimmer. All of these problems are related to the connectors themselves when LED strips are not connected to them. When I use boxed wire connectors to complete my project, the continuity and resistance is much better, but the clamps on the connector don't hold the LED strips in place. A little pressure will cut some wires at the connectors resulting in no light or wrong color etc. Do not recommend this product.
