    Did you get a set of end caps and connectors with your strip?
    I'd love to see some photos of what they supply with it because that's one of my concerns about buying a long strip, is how many pieces will I be able to cut it into before I run out of connectors and end caps?

    When I bought them they supply everything sepparate

    I took 1m light strip and 4 connectors. You can cut every three LED's so i figured I can get 3 "Sets" and one extra for ....well I tend to break the connectors:cheesy:

    So effectively you can decide what you need and buy accordingly.

    The transformer they supply is very nice and flat so it can be hidden away very easy. I got two the first time so I still have one at home.

    They did tell me to seal the ends with some silicone for "that extra piece of mind"

    The strip in the 6ft has been running for a while now and I have had no problems.

    The glue on the strip I don't trust much so I used some silicone for "just in case"
