This thread is great, but what tools/parts are you using to wire these strips in parallel?? What I really need to know is: how can I do it without soldering?? Went to RadioShack and got wire and connectors, but then the guy told me that the connectors I had wouldn't support 120V and he didn't know what would. I'm hoping to either do this by crimping or riveting, but I'm hoping you guys can tell me exactly what parts and pieces you used to do this.

I already have one end wired with the plug, and was just planning on running a continuous strip, but I would now prefer to cut into strips so I'm not wasting any heat. THANK YOU!!
