Rope lights...
« on: May 13, 2009, 02:00:40 PM »
Its been a long time since I've been on the board - good to be back.

Question - I bought some rope light in Elkhart but have no connectors.  Any ideas where I might buy connectors...?

The rope lights are:

SofTouch 10mm 12V

Thanks,
Danny
I have heard it said, "life comes at you fast".  I didn't know it would be in the shape of a bus  :-)

I made my own by crimping a small eye connector on the end of each wire and connecting them to the rope by running a small screw into each wire in the end of the rope. A piece of heat shink and done.  Jack

I copied Jack's idea! It is a much more secure connection and takes only a little effort.   JIm
