Random eBay gambling with odd listings.04:33

This was a bit random. I was hunting for LED tubelight that was designed for 24V operation and instead found a listing that seemed too good to be true. A 5m length of 24V LED tape for £1.77. I guessed it was a mistake, but ordered two just to see what happened. I duly received two one metre sections of random flat LED strip with no connectors, rectifiers or data.

Challenge accepted.

Note that while the 4-way 0.1″ (2.54mm) pitch Molex style connector can be used to make connection to the strips busbar, I’m not sure if it is likely to have any reaction with the non solderable metal that the busbar-cores are made of. I wouldn’t recommend running long lengths with this arrangement.
