Many people have been doing excellent work with the development of LED controls, patterning and effects. Recently Aircookie was featured on Dr.Zzs stream and the cbined efforts of the WLED Team motivated me to try and do something to contribute. Not only did I place a large order for WS282B LED's, but I was motivated to get ready for my Christmas lights (and various other LED installations I had been thinking about.)

To that end, I have created and tested this endless strip of sectioned LED tracking to provide a better, more consistent way of attaching LEDS and not relying on the terrible adhesive strips they all seem to come with.

I present - The Infinity LED track. This was designed and tested with IP67 (waterproof) 8mm LEDS, with basic RGB 8mm LEDS strips and with 8mm LED cool white strips. All 3 variants fit the same.

It is a very tight fit, I was required to align the LED tracks, place the connector piece in on a flat surface and slide the lde strips from piece to piece slowly, and carefully. Once I had added 4 or more pieces, it became very tight and I was only able to push/pull the strip bu using a flat surface item on the LEDs themselves to gain grip.

I recommend pulling the entire strip through 1 piece or 2 pieces at a time, and then place the connector. I did also add a small bit of tape to hold the connector in place as I move it all about.

NOTE: You will need a desk, table or long flat surface for your connections, to make it easier.

  • Feedback Welcomed -

This design is not perfect, I recommend marking on end of the tracking and keeping it oriented the same way, to achieve the best results.

For those who Celebrate Christmas as I do - Merry Christmas. For those people who do not celebrate Christmas, or celebrate other holidays - Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings and all respectful greetings. Please enjoy responsibly.
