I just did mine like D E Bishop did, Strips, a total of 5 Meters of LED's (for under 10 bucks on Amazon)
One thing I did differnt is cut the lights apart always at the solder pads but cut in a "Chair" pattern (Up to mid point of strip then between the Positive and Negative pads and then up to the top)
That way on one end I had all negative pads
On the other end all positive
So I just ran a bare "Bus bar" type jumper up the pads.. I had just three other places. I do not have a LO-HI, only high.
Finished my last unit over the weekend on the 3 I have.
A techician I know also uses the 5 meter strips but by bending and doubling back he does not need jumpers at all. I really like the results.
