Step 4 Create contact points along the wire

The next step is to use the wire stripper to create contact points along the way. You can do this by sliding the wire stripper into the wire and exposing a small amount (2mm or so) of wire. This makes the project go a lot quicker than if you were cutting lengths of wire between each LED.

Open a contact point on both the positive and negative strands at the same length along the strand. Remember that the power is still connected, so don't short the wires.
