[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1169282, member: 17766"] Should be the same amount of soldering as you have to cut 4 zones total and connect 3 corners together, start and end point might already have connectors with a sleeve and sometimes even a power connector. Would try power the start and end point first and see if it can do full white, with my 218 WS2812 led setup only that is required. If you can't do full white the method [USER=97876]@Lightning303[/USER] used recently with connecting power in the middle for every zone is the best way to go about it, with 5V it all comes down to length as the longer it gets the more the voltage is gonna drop. Would shrink wrap the open connection points where it can touch something else (back of tv / other cables), normally only do it for the start / end points as that can flex a bit when connecting everything up (heavier cables / jack connectors).
