First grow purple haze

Ace hardware sells nylon spacers that work well, if you have one nearby. Otherwise I’d probably go for a stack of washers, oversized nut, pipe nipple or something that won’t be heat sensitive.

I checked the garage and spacers can wait til tomorrow. For now these will have to do so I can get this wired up :wink:

Wire em up! Easiest way as far as keeping things neat and tidy is to take driver output positive to to one end of the circuit, and driver output negative to the other end. Then run small jumpers from neg of one strip to pos of the next strip until circuit is complete. You’ll have to do that twice obviously with two drivers. Strips 1-14 on one driver, strips 15-28 on the other driver.

Okay…do I just stick the wire in these little holes or do I need solder?

No solder. If you take a small nail, screw, or pin of some sort just put in that little hole and lightly depress. Slide stripped end of wire in and release. Give light tug to verify it’s seated properly and move to the next one.

Then do I have to do anything to the extra 2 pins or just light it up?

Extra two pins? You mean from driver? Hopefully those are dimming leads lol. As long as that’s what we’re talking about, no. Just tape off each wire so they can’t touch. That’s where you’ll wire in potentiometer if you decide to add later to dim.
