longer side light led strips

[jwheaton]

I have been building a project with Adafruit NeoPixel LED Side Light Strip - Black 60 LED PRODUCT ID: 3636, and it is going great. However, I really need to get a longer strip (1.5 meter would be ideal).

Do you sell longer strips of this product?

If not, do you have any soldering tips on how to solder two strings together? Things are so tiny that it is hard to get a good connection.

Thanks for any advice. I tried to find something on aliexpress, but it is jungle out there!

At this time, 1 meter strips are all we have. To join strips, align the solder pads of the input end of the second strip with the output end of the first.

To make soldering easier, I find it helpful to solder a piece of wire to each of the solder pads on one of the strips. Once soldered, clip the wire so that there is just a few mm extending over the edge. Then line up the other strip so that those wires overlap the solder pads. Then solder the second strip.
