[sudo-discuss] LED nube

[Cere Davis]

I mean if I cut the strip and use the power supply that is provided then I
need to come up with another power supply for the remainder of the tape
that I want to use later.  So wondering if it’s easy to solder the wires
from another power supply onto the section that has been cut off?
