J and L track lights are not interchangeable. J track lights have a different mounting system than L track lights and are not compatible with each other.
Most lights can be mounted without a junction box, but it is not recommended. Junction boxes provide a safe place to connect wires and protect against electrical shocks.
Yes, you can add lights to existing track lighting. You may need to purchase an adapter or extension kit, depending on the type of track lighting you have. Adding additional lights to your track lighting can help to brighten up a room or highlight specific areas.
Track lighting is a versatile and popular lighting option, but can you overload it? The answer is yes, you can overload track lighting. However, this is not the recommended way to use track lighting. Track lighting is best used as accent lighting or task lighting. Overloading track lighting can cause the bulbs to overheat and fail, and can also create an unsafe fire hazard.

The product appears to be satisfactory. Since I haven't tried soldering it, I don't know how it will behave. The red and black wires each have 17 strands, but I haven't tested the cross-sectional area to know if this is the correct 22 AWG cable. This is NOT NECESSARILY the case for this product, but always be wary of China-made cables/wires because they are notorious for having incorrect specs. As a result, it is common for government authorities to recall seasonal lighting because the wires are not the proper gauge, do not dissipate heat properly, and thus may become fire hazards. I won't be concerned because I'll be using this product in low voltage applications and installing inline fuses to prevent the cable from melting. The goods I received, in contrast to the image on the listing, was packaged on a spool, which I consider to be more preferable to a loose roll that might become tangled.

Installing LED strip lights is a breeze with these connectors. However, due to time constraints and the complexity of my installation, I decided to try them instead of soldering, and I'm pleased I did. My kitchen cabinetry was installed. I obtained quotes from electricians and handymen, who wanted over $500 and at least three days. Are you serious? That gave me enough inspiration to start working on the project.A project that required numerous curves, barriers, and running wire so that it couldn't be seen wasn't enjoyable. Soldering would have more than quadrupled the installation time and made me incredibly anxious. After the installation, I reasoned that if one of these connectors failed, I'd have to go back and find the short after all that labor. No fun. And because they are connected to an Alexa switch, these lights will be subjected to daily/constant on/off cycles. Not to add the typical cooking risks as well. My suspicions were unfounded, though, since my under-cabinet leds are still functioning today despite the fact that that was over three years ago. My estimators demanded a lot of money and three days. I spent less than $100 and completed the task in 5 hours. DIY is undoubtedly the best option. For a sewing cabinet project that I was "volunteered" to complete, I recently bought additional. In my book, these connectors were successful on every level. And if they are already making it through kitchen hell, the connectors will have no trouble getting through an elderly woman's sewing cabinet. And me.

We intended to install many sets of strip led lights around a faux fireplace mantel and in some cabinets. Several 90-degree spins and the requirement to jump from a base to a door that occasionally opens (a couple times a year to arrange decos.) This package exceeded my expectations and rescued the day. I was wary because I had never cut LED strips or utilized jumpers or angles before. I worried without cause. The hardest aspect of using the kit was remembering to peel back the tape before inserting the strip. My first several connections had a problem making a full connection (red didn't work), but I worked it out (the copper foil on the strip had gotten pretty mangled and almost worn off as I kept connecting and un-connecting the strip). Double-checking your length and location is advised before making the connections and moving forward. The other components functioned flawlessly even if I didn't use the t connector. The connections' R, G, B, and labels are the only things to truly pay attention to. As long as you are consistent across the strip (i.e., the blue (B) can connect into the side as long as the Blue (B) is plugged into the side at the other end), it is not necessary to match them with the corresponding letters on the strip. The install went considerably faster and simpler after I learned this (it was a duh moment). If you don't already, you should check out the Amazon Giveaway pages because they frequently provide discounts even if you don't win (I got $5 off the price!). This kit has enough components to complete many installations. The only significant drawback I noticed was that it took some effort to open and close the connecting clamp bars, and on a few of them I had to give them a squeeze with some pliers to tighten them.

My soldering skills are, to put it mildly ;), lacking. The last time I dealt with LEDs, I damaged a few because I was trying to save money and soldered the lights together rather than using connections. This time, I followed their advice, and the outcomes are undeniable. I was able to light up my desk the way I had planned.On a related topic, I was going to skip writing a review for these because I believed they were the best options available for the price, but I read a couple that claimed they didn't work with waterproof LEDs. That is incorrect. The image shows that mine are watertight. A video demonstrating that there is no latency between connected sections is also provided. Simply take off the waterproof covering from the conductive dots and connect everything as directed to use the connectors.These are the lights I used, if anyone is interested in learning more about my setup and checking that my light strips are waterproof:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZZLHYB2/ref=cm cr srp mb bdcrb top?ie=UTF8They fulfilled my needs, however I would only suggest them during a discount.

Updated Review: Alright, there was a small amount of operator error. Naturally, these need to be slid in to function, but they also need to be manipulated into all contacts touching at the proper angle before being locked in (they have vampire like teeth to help lock in strip placement). Although painful, it wasn't too severe. I'm not sure if that's the nature of all connectors or just these specific ones, but I was really shocked that the placing of the strip needed to be so precise.Having saying that, I'd buy these again. Once installed, they completely function and provide the best versatility for positioning your strip (s). I would suggest these, but please be warned that lining them up can be challenging. The 4 star rating is due to the precise placement requirement; it is not a quick plug-and-play connector. After that, get these if you require them.Original rating of one star:I was ecstatic about these. Wish I hadn't been lazy and refused to use my old soldering iron. I peeled the silicon/tpu over connections on my waterproof, 10mm, 5050 LED strip.Although they were easy to cut and attach, I read through their instructions first to avoid any surprises. The initial connector was never passed by me without difficulty.If it lit up at all, it would be 2-3 colors other than R, W, G, and B, or it would flicker or light up the incorrect colors (when Red was on 1st set Green would be on for the second). On two distinct stations, the same color would occasionally appear. Yes, I was paying close attention to every aspect when I connected.Since I tried connecting in every method conceivable, I wouldn't anticipate anything changing. However, I'll evaluate if anything does. Possibly include video to illustrate the problems.

To go with the Tingkam Striplights, you need this kit.Positives: Splicing is quite straightforward (refer to the YouTube Instructions). Be sure to thoroughly clean under the counter, especially near a stove where you've cooked with grease for a billion years. The screwdown braces are useful because the strips are prone to lifting. However..Cons: To establish a connection that is more durable, the jumpers appear to require dialelectric. For them to connect all of the colors or even function at all, you need to fiddle with the seating a little.The extra jumpers between the pre-fabricated ends joining the transformer to the strip light would be EXTREMELY good if they were included. I ended up cutting, soldering, and shrinking tubes because I didn't know how to order them. Clarify your instructions more Tingkam.Despite these inconsequential nuances, we failed to land.

I bought these with the intention of using them to prototype 12 volt analog RGB light strips on breadboards, and they work well.You begin with, just be sure to slide the LED strip's edges under the plastic edge tabs so they line up perfectly with the contact fingers. The splice is marked for polarity on the shell, and the LED strips are labelled for polarity (12v strips are ( ) common).The ability to pass Male-Female breadboard wires beneath the contact switches on the opposite side made me happy, too. Because of this, using a short length during prototyping is straightforward for me and I don't have to bother about soldering additional leads or adding a big lead with removable pins that makes things want to flop around while I'm working.These enlarged pictures are all grainy. One is the labeling of the LED that has been introduced into the splice and displays the plastic edge tabs that are placed over the LED strip. Another demonstrates how close to touching the first LED the snap-over shell is. The Male-Female breadboard wires are visible under the connections in the third image. Please be aware that the plastic edge tab prevents the alignment of the end connections, therefore if you use one of these for testing RGB and all four pins, you should carefully cut away those edge tabs.

These connections were being used by me to connect extension cables and strips to other extension cables. Although it is not difficult to slip and misalign the strip when attempting to seal the clip, connecting them to strips was quite simple. Take your time, please. Although it is more challenging to connect the clip to an extension cable—something these connectors weren't actually intended for—once I discovered a technique that worked, I was able to create custom length extension cables rather quickly. I was detaching the cable's four ends, removing the insulation from one side of the wire, placing the exposed wire carefully on the connector terminals, and then tightening the clamps. Use a multimeter in continuity mode to check for shorts between adjacent terminals on the opposite side of the connector and to verify a connection between the terminals and the other end of the cable. It could take a few tries before you get it right, which is where patience is important.Since the lights were placed a little more than a week ago, everything has gone well. The only issue I encountered turned out to be a defect in the led strip, not the connectors, which alarmed me because I was worried about connections coming loose, especially when manipulating the extension cables out of sight.

Okay, I'll give credit where credit is due and say that these 90-degree LED connectors are well-made, affordable, attractively packaged, and functional—at least, "90%" of the time, I assume. There was only one tiny "problem": these 90° L-shaped connections are NOT universal, therefore in order for them to function properly, for example, one must align their strips with the wire structure of the L-shaped 90° connector (Pic 1).But why is this important, some people might query? or even better, "What's so hard about that?" Well, to be honest, there is nothing particularly difficult about it—unless, unlike me, you actually started out with all the required components and supplies. Since I did not, I would thus suggest that it is possible that many people would not even consider this to be a problem. But I did, and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm confident that others would gain from hearing this narrative, therefore (both that of the buyer, in addition to that of the manufacturer).So, consider the following example: Here, I had planned to wrap an LED strip across my bathtub's upper sides (just as I have done a few times prior). In addition, I honestly can't count how many times I have hung up LED strips over the course of the last five years or so, only to watch them (either a minute or several days after installation) come right back down/off, or look like sh*t. While I do recommend double-sided 3M tape for practically all surfaces where LED strips are to be applied, especially that of a humid area like a bathtub, I cannot count the number of other times I have hung up LED strips. This is partially because the backing tape is lined with a VERY lightweight, low-cost version of 3M tape, which is insufficient to support the weight of an 18' LED strip. Particularly when mounted upside-down and along a porous surface like interior walls, unfinished wood (frequently discovered under kitchen cabinets), and brickwork (just to give a few). In keeping with that, I first wrapped the top sections of the tub in 3M tape (Pic 2) (PLEASE READ BELOW FOR MY RECOMMENDATION, AS YOU SIMPLY SHOULD NOT GO WITH THAT OF JUST ANY 3M TAPE (Pics 3, 4). In order to connect a second 5' strip that ran along the top length of the tub, I made sure to leave an exposed area between my initial pre-cut strip and the 3M strip that was already bonded (see pictures 5 and 6). And since the single original L-shaped connector I had from the prior set was broken, I got these right away thinking they would be the same as the ones I already had. But at that point, I saw that they obviously differed. I had two options: try to remove the 5' LED strip that was already attached and had been there for several days, or replace it with another strip that matched the configuration of these 90° angles (however, not only would that be a lot of work, but it would render that strip useless). Or I could just pick another choice. Despite the fact that I lacked connectors, I was able to locate a few precut 90° wiring pieces that matched the precise wiring I had installed. I would not have been able to finish my project with the ones I had ordered if I hadn't done this.Please look at the photographs I've included if that doesn't make any sense. Last but not least, I would strongly urge the maker to offer two separate sets of prewired 90° segments, specifically those of the BGR and the RGB types. I feel this would fit them just fine.Otherwise, it's a generally solid deal all around.

I purchased these connections for my 10mm wide waterproof RGB 5050 LED strip. They connected some of the cut-off sections of my LED strips with success. For the benefit of other customers, I have outlined the installation procedures and safety measures.Installing procedures:1. Carefully cut off the LED strip at the cutting line, ensuring that each LED strip has the same area for the four copper contacts.2. To reveal the four copper contacts on the back of the LED strip, remove the tape covering that location.3. Secure the LED strip in the connector, checking to make sure the electrode on the LED strip matches the electrode on the connector, and ensuring that all four connector pins completely penetrate the LED strip's 4 copper contacts.Precautions: The connection between the four connector pins and the four copper contacts on the waterproof RGB 5050 LED strip is crucial when installing these connectors. When you divide your LED strip into two LED strips, make sure to cut very carefully along the cutting line to ensure that the area of the copper contacts on the two LED strips is the same in order to ensure that the four connector pins and the four copper contacts on the LED strip are connected properly (not a bigger area of copper contacts on one LED strip, and a smaller area on the other LED strip). The 4 connector pins won't be able to fully penetrate the 4 copper contacts if the copper contact area on the LED strip is too tiny, which will result in poor electrical conductivity. You can so receive two different hues or even nothing at all.
You can technically splice wires without a junction box, but it's not recommended. Splicing wires creates a point of connection where electricity can jump or arc, and this is more likely to happen if the splice isn't protected in a junction box.
No, all track lights do not fit the same track. Different manufacturers have different track designs, and even within the same manufacturer, there can be different designs for different types of track lights. It is important to check compatibility before purchasing track lights.
Yes, track lighting has to be hardwired. This is because track lighting uses a lot of electricity and needs to be connected directly to your home's electrical system. Hardwiring track lighting will ensure that it gets the power it needs to operate properly and safely.
Track lighting is a type of lighting that is often used in homes and businesses. It is a popular choice because it is relatively easy to install and can be customized to fit the specific needs of the space. One of the questions that often comes up about track lighting is whether or not it needs a junction box. The answer to this question is that it depends on the specific track lighting system that you have. Some track lighting systems will come with a junction box that is required for installation. Other track lighting systems will not come with a junction box and will not require one for installation.
There's no definitive answer to this question since it depends on the wattage of the individual track lights and the amperage rating of the circuit they're connected to. However, as a general rule of thumb, you shouldn't exceed a 20-amp circuit when installing track lighting. This means that you can connect up to 12 track lights (if they're each rated for 20 watts) on a single circuit.
Most track lighting is connected in parallel. This means that each light has its own circuit and is connected directly to the power source. There are some instances where track lighting is connected in series, but this is less common.
