[QUOTE="richg99, post: 427337, member: 4376"] Well, so far, the hardest part was soldering the larger wires from the quick-disconnect plug onto the LED ends. As you can probably see from the pix, the LEDs have two tiny little copper dots on the end. You can cut the strip anywhere, as long as you cut at those connectors. Given that my small soldering iron is about 45 years old, I wasn't able to generate enough heat in a tiny spot to easily solder to them. I eventually got the wires to stick, but I am thinking of buying another proper soldering iron for future projects. richg99 [/QUOTE]
