i have searched and searched for some type of "T" connector for my LED wiring project but can't find one. How is every one wiring the strips in a continuous circuit. I bought the waterproof strips off superbrightled.com, but the 3 way connectors they sell are not compatible with the waterproof strips. Does anyone have a good tip for wiring a 3 way connection. It needs to be 4 contact due to my lights being RGB.

Are you looking for something like this? If so I found these on eBay by searching "3 way wire connector" & they come in any wire size you might need.

I used T-Taps and tapped into the wires where I am running the wires off of...I essentially ran one strand of RGB 4 conductor wire around my boat and seperated the wires and connected the t-taps whenever I was running the wire to the RGBs. Worked out pretty well I think...Here is a pic of what I am referring to...

BUTT CONNECT haha. Tie them all in to a larger gauge butt connector. Always shrink wrap in marine applications.
