I was planning on buying one 5050 LED strip lighting and cutting it half, what do I need to connect to these extenders?

You would need to purchase a 10mm 4pin Plug Female Connector Adapter Extension Cable for 5050 RGB LED Strip Lights: 10pcs 10mm 4pin Plug Female Connector Adapter Extension Cable for 5050 RGB LED Strip Lights You would also need a 4 Pin Connector Male for Led Strip Lights RGB 5050: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LR35VK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

If you're talking about a long roll strip, one end has the pin connectors and the other end has wires to splice what I did was cut in half,bought a separate power supply and spliced wires. If you're talking about short LED strips, I don't think you can cut those and use again without Soldering

You could but you will loose the plug. The light strip can be cut and comes with at least one extra connector. You could just add some wire to extend it.

I cut the plug off and stripped the two wires. Then I attached them using butt connectors to wires from a 12 v battery. There are power supplies available on Amazon to fit these lights if you are using them in a 110 v environment as well.

You can simply enough solder the connection together if you're confident with soldering. Else buy the LED strips with the four pin connectors on each end and connect the two strips together.

5050 LED strip lights are .24 Watts each. If you run the power supply at 70%, that's 21 watts or 87 LED's.

The light cable plugs in to one. The power cable plugs in the second input. And that should be all there is to this. The far end of the light strip does have another "port". This allows you to connect another light strip to extend the system. There's no need to connect anything to that end if you are not extending it.

The 2ft u have left over if u have no 4 pin connection on either side of the strip you need to get (Hintel strip to 4 - pin connector-connector cut multicolor led light strip to 4-pin accessories )

I don't know, it would depend on the strip lights you are trying to power and how much current each one draws. As long as the total current drawn is less than the rated output of this device (5 Amps) you could use only one, otherwise you would need more than one. Using only one for three strips might also cause some hookup problems if you are not technically adapt.

Don't worry about the lumen output, just install the strips and connect to a dimmer. You can't have enough led lights unless you are in a light sensitive area. If it is that important then you have to install the lighting to obtain the foot candle level that the task requires, then select another light source

As long as you do not exceed 12w per channel. Check the wattage on the leds. I would guess that a 5050smd strip would draw about 10w. You'll probably be fine.

You can use these: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1388815501&sr;=8-1&keywords;=led+pins+connectors but there may be a limit as to how many feet you can connect. From what I have researched it should work. I thought I read somewhere there was some limit as to the length. Only $1.99 for 10 of them.

I am using the 60w adapter to connect two of the 5 meter hitlights units together (Linked at the bottom of my reply). It works fine. I opted for the 60w adapter, because the 5m hitlight LED strips are 1.5 w/ft, and they are 16.4 ft long, which actually totals 24.6 watts. A 48 w adapter probably would work, but I opted for a little insurance room.HitLights Cool White SMD3528 LED Light Strip - 300 LEDs, 16.4 Ft Roll, Cut to length - 5000K, 82 Lumens / 1.5 Watts per foot, Requires 12V DC

I am using the small utilitech led device. No extender needed. Of course it depends on what can you are using as well!

To the best of my knowledge you have a different problem: Instructions say to not extend one 'string' of LEDs to greater than the standard reel length because the conductors on the flexible strip can not handle greater currents. So if you are going longer than one reel, you need to power that separately.

hi, you need 5 dc12v led strip adapter. (principal you need adapter) you can use 7 rolls. 5 adapters and 7 rolls is fine. super great product. i use every night is great.

I would use the 12v 3A supply. The 9.6v 500mA does not have the proper amount of current to power the entire light strip.

In my experience, I did cut it but used the opposite end to connect the strips to 12Volts, both ends have wires for connection. I don't think if you cut a piece from the middle and try to connect to 12 Volts it will work. Because I don't know how you would connect it. I purchased an extra roll of light for these kinds of short connections.
