Two-wire connectors join sections of one-channel linear lighting by aligning the polarity of each section and securing the conductors in a snap-style connector, with no wire stripping or soldering required. Options include connectors with or without leads, while outdoor versions help maintain the lighting’s IP67 rating when used with compatible outdoor sections.

Choose a connector without a lead when joining two nearby sections of compatible linear tape light in a direct, segment-to-segment connection. Choose a connector with a lead when the sections need a wire between them for added spacing, routing, or a change in direction, including outdoor runs that call for a weather-rated connector.

For indoor one-channel linear lighting, align the polarity of the two tape-light sections, remove a small amount of the nano-coating from the conductors, and close the two-wire connector until it snaps into place. For outdoor installations, use an outdoor two-wire connector with the appropriate lead length, and confirm the connector and tape light have compatible IP67 ratings to help maintain weather resistance.

Connector ratings should match the linear lighting’s environment, with IP20 connectors suited to protected indoor installations and IP67 outdoor connectors designed for use with IP67 outdoor tape light. Two-wire snap or clamshell construction supports one-channel connections, while heavy-duty versions and attached leads can help with extensions or directional changes without stripping or soldering wires.
