These will not secure the wire. Even slight pressure will pull the wire loose. Basically useless

These connectors are very well made. The screw mechanism also feels solid when you attach the wires or the light strips.
The screw driver is a little on the cheap side, but since that is not part of the connectors I am still rating the connector 5 stars; I just use my own screwdriver.
The thing I cannot figure out is what the little adhesive stickers are for. I THOUGHT they were to attach the connector, but the stickers only have adhesive on one side, that is, they are not double sided adhesive. See photo.
If you peel the sticker that says "3M" off it is sticky on one side. Once you peel the "3M" sticker off one side underneath there is a white slick paper (no adhesive). You flip that over and the other side is brown and say "3M". You peel that off it is also sticky on one side and you are left with the OTHER side of the white slick paper (no adhesive on this side either). So what you have is a total of three pieces once you have finished peeling everything off. Two pieces that say "3M" and are sticky on side, and one piece that is white and slick paper with no sticky on either side.
None of these items are double sided adhesive, so if someone can tell me what they are for I would appreciate it.
Great experience love the product.
I had this dimmable driver installed for my kitchen cabinet led strip lights. The original driver stopped working after about 2 years and I contacted support as this is warrantied for 6 years. Mr. Meden provided exceptional service and support in getting the replacement shipped to me in no time.
Fantastic people. I'm a Happy Customer.
These connectors make reliable LED tape light connections and simplify the tape light installation process. If you are installing gel coated tapes, be sure to gently scrape the tape contacts untill they shine. Otherwise, the gel residue acts as an insulator. - (Hitlights Amazon Store)
Beware the somewhat misleading descriptors used for these lights. While the 3000K option is described as “Warm White” and 2700K as “Soft White,” in fact, 3000K to these eyes has nothing to do with warm. It’s a cool, neutral light that reads bluish-white at night. We were looking to replace old “rope lights” from maybe 15 years ago that gave off a truly warm, incandescent glow. After doing some post-installation research, I now see that if you’re looking for a warm incandescent lighting effect, go for 2700K, whatever it’s called by the vendor. Why the warmer, in fact, warmest (2700K) light is called “soft” rather than “warm” and the cooler (3000K) is called “warm” is, frankly, beyond me. Caveat emptor!

Works perfect. Was going to buy new led lights when the contractor came loose. Took 2 minutes to attach and works great - (Hitlights Amazon Store)
Worked as advertised no issues - (Amazon HitLights Review)
Love these, the best I’ve found to join two cob strip lights.

I work with these connectors almost daily installing two-pin LED strips. The best of the best for this type of work. Plus they fit perfectly inside the diffusers for 10mm LED strips. Excellent. - (Amazon HitLights Review)
Does not fit the ribbon.
Good wire, plenty for my project, wiring a staircase with a 12 vdc buse.
Does not fit the strips as depicted.
This is 3rd and 4th set purchased. Excellent kit to introduce you to LED Lights and for lighting smaller spaces. Have used on a Bar Cart/Cabinet and TV Credenza. Simple to install with no issues at a great price. Everything needed is in kits. I purchased with and without waterproof option. I like the waterproof sets best for added protection of LEDs. The multi-colored remote that comes in kit works flawlessly. Nice remote allows for changing Light colors and light intensity.
Installation Note: If a strip does not light, it is due to plugs connected wrong. Match arrow to arrow between plugs to strips and the RBG lettering to RBG lettering on strip to strip ends. :-)
Unfortunately I needed 3 pin and when I ordered this i didn't realize that so had to return but was perfect for led or cob lighting strip projects! - (Amazon HitLights Review)
Excellent product! A lot of compliments on its consistent lighting.
Does not overheat like other brands I tried previously.
Decided to get these for where I couldn't solder easily and you really have to be patient and scrape the excess plastic from the LED strips to get a good grip. Prefer solder but if you need a 90 degree turn above your head and too short to solder use these - (Hitlights Amazon Store)
Great product and even better customer service! We use these lights at Trade shows, and it really makes our booth stand out
THIS DRIVER WILL NOT WORK WITH JUST A REGULAR SINGLE POLE OR ANY OTHER DIMMER. HAS TO USE THE HITLIGHT RF DIMMER.
Wired up 6 separate short strips (2 conductor, white only) from a much longer one with a switch on each segment. A bit easier than soldering directly to the strip. - (Hitlights Amazon Store)
