LED Lighting Question

[Jeebas]

So I used one of LED Lighting kits for my keezer to go under the lid and under the tap board - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0040FJ27S/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I ran the light strip from (looking directly at the keezer) right side of the lid underside, around the lid, then from the left side of the lid it runs (I should say ran) into the hole at the back of the coffin and then runs under the tap board. It was just the right amount of length. Or so I thought.

About a week ago I was closing the lid and the excess lighting strip between the left side of the lid and coffin got caught and snapped.

The strip works up until the break just fine. I had two questions that I hoped someone might be able to answer:

1) Could I just use this mend the break - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Q8OBWK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

2) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JtySR64qL.jpg What is the purpose of the other white cord coming out of the white controller box (the one with the black cap on it?)

Thanks!

I would need to see a picture of the break itself to really tell you if you could fix it. most of those rope lights have thin copper traces that run through them connecting all the elements. Depending on what the break looks like you could solder them back together and be in business but i cant say for certain without having a look at it

doing a little bit of searching, I think this is what you meant to link to for your lighting...here

If that is the case, then yes, that little connector should work to mend your strip of lights. Just go back to the next available cut point on each end and cut then splice.

If that's not the type of lights you bought then it's a totally different ball game.

Yeah some Amazon links don't post on HBT very well for some reason. They should be fixed now.
