Hi,
I bought 4 weatherproof led strips that I am going to connect together. They have a connection already in place to connect, but it doesn't look weatherproof. How would I make the connections to be weather tight?
Needing to mount some weather proof led strip lighting under the tread of some outdoor floating steps and need some advice of best product method if anyone already done this sort of lighting.
Thanks
