What is the easiest way to change out a strip? I moved to another state and they do not allow the blue I currently have. Is there an easy way to cut and splice the wires at the strip without using bulky crimp connectors? - by Jim (Boca Raton Fla)
The least bulky splice I can think of involves solder and heat shrink. Its not necessarily the easiest, unless of course you're comfortable with the methods and tools. The easiest is probably a simple crimp connector.

How many amps do they us and can i us ten amp inline fuse for my 2.4 leds - by Adamgares (Bellevue, NE)
The pulled amps vary on the length used and color. The information for this can be found on our Technical Information page: https://www.oznium.com/flexible-led-strips/led-flex-strips#tech . One 2.4" strip pulls between 14-27mA. That means .014-.027 Amps. Ten amp fuse would be extremely to large. I suggest a 2-3 amp fuse at most.

If i have 5 separate Million color strips. Can they be wired so that they are the same color when they change or will 5 strips be 5 different colors? - by joe
It is possible to wire them to a single controller. If you wire them to a single controller, they will change at the same rate.
Does each set of lights have to be wired directly to a switch or can they be connected in series with the closest light set connected to the switch? What kind of switch do you recommend? - by Jim (Frisco, TX)
You can hook up multiple LEDs to one switch.
They shouldn't be wired in series though. They should be wired in parallel.
The round rocker switch is a popular choice.

i want them on a raptor 700r as headlights how long should the flexible led strip be to do the best performance and how do i mount them - by ivan (brooklyn new york)
Sounds like a nice application. There is no specific length required. It is totally up to you, and how you want to install them. Obviously, the longer the strip, the brighter it will be. There are many ways to mount them: cable ties, glue, tape, etc.

It is possible, but you'd have to use a pulse width modulator to control the brightness.
