Description
This is a set of lighting cables, each a lead with a red core and a black core running side by side. One end carries a small clip connector for LED strip, and the other finishes in bare stripped ends. There is no lamp socket on it, so think of it as a lead for LED strip rather than a lamp holder. It is 1.2cm wide and weighs 0.01KG, which means it adds next to nothing to a run of strip lighting. The IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry places.
It suits anyone putting LED strip into a home: under kitchen wall units, along bookshelves, behind a headboard or around a dressing table mirror, anywhere the air stays dry. Keeping a set of spare leads in a drawer means a strip that needs a new connection can be sorted the same afternoon, rather than left dark while you hunt for parts. Because the clip is small, it is easy to tuck away behind a shelf edge or a cabinet lip where nobody will see it.
The detail we like is the colour coding: the red core and the black core are easy to tell apart at a glance, which makes the job quicker and tidier. With an IP20 rating it belongs indoors and dry, so keep it well clear of sinks, bathrooms and anywhere outdoors. There is no care to speak of beyond keeping it dry; store spares coiled loosely in a drawer so the stripped ends stay straight and ready.
