I'll add to that, you can buy a 5m strip and cut it down to desired lengths. Some simple soldering and you can make up bespoke lengths.
You need to get the gel coated waterproof versions.
Hi,You need to get the gel coated waterproof versions.
The LED interior lighting looks great.
I have a 5m roll so do I literally cut it where I want, bare some of the copper strip and solder on some thin tails? Does the other end near connecting to form a loop too?
Sorry for the silly questions this isn't my strong point.
Thanks,
Mick

Mick, using the strips I had, they come with tails on one end & you cut the strip at pre-marked points to the length you want. It will only work connected up one way as the LED's are directional so check this before you solder the wires into place. No need to do anything with the cut end.

Not sure about adding tails to make additional strips but yes, in theory add two wires to the remaining strip and repeat the above.
