Connecters and wiring
Im looking to sell lamps I make on my 3D printer with added led strips going in the channels. Would anyone know the best method to find powers supplies in bulk maybe with a breaker that can also be wired to turn the fixture on and off?

Re: Connecters and wiring
Start with the major distributors like Digikey and Mouser. See which products fit your needs, then check the datasheets. You should be able to find contact information for the manufacturer.
If you expect to move enough volume, it could be worth your time to arrange a contract directly with the manufacturer. Contact their sales department, letting them know how many units you expect to buy per quarter or per year, and they'll let you know if it's enough to warrant a direct manufacturing contract.

Re: Connecters and wiring
might anyone know how long this strip might be out of stock for? https://www.adafruit.com/product/3861 seems as if its discontinued. It looks so good.

Re: Connecters and wiring
Thank you. I was able to snag a few. My project is nearing completion now. These neon strips/tubes are very bright. Can you point me in the direction of an item I can solder to the power supply that would make it dimmable?

Re: Connecters and wiring
