Step 6Connect around corners
Now, you will be connecting the flexible LED strip pieces around joints/bends in the deck railing. This is much easier to do on top of the railings or at a work bench. If you do not want to solder, you can pre-measure the sections and order the strips made to length.
If the end that you are working with already has 3-6" of wire on the end, you do not need to do anything to that end. If it doesn't, simply peel off about 3/8" of the waterproof coating and solder the four wires onto the solder pads as seen in the picture below. Cover these soldered areas with silicon after you have finished.
If you have any more questions about the soldering, you can see extremely detailed instructions of the solder process here.
At this point, you should have all the runs of flexible LED strip connected together. Now all you have to do is connect them to the power supply!
