It's time to install the LED strips. Since connectors were not available for this project, the team hardwired connections by splicing wires using wire strippers and small gauge wire. This involved carefully stripping the ends of the LED strip wires and the connection wires, twisting them together, and securing them with electrical tape or heat shrink. Begin installing strips from a designated start point (e.g., top-left corner), running them through the prepared channels and around the geometric shapes. Pay close attention to tricky areas, like the V-shaped path in the center, ensuring connections are solid and the strips lay flat.

measure twice cut once all right it's finally time to put the LEDs in place for the project we didn't have time to order connectors for our start and stop points we both had a basic knowledge of splicing wires so three or four times we hardwired our connections throughout the wall we started with a small strip here in the top left corner then we continueed to progress down the wall the trickiest part of this project was here in the center area we come from the left side we go down the V and we have to run back up the left side of the inner triangle on the opposite side of the center triangle we come from the right and come back down so we can cross over the right that sounds pretty different and it was a bit of a pain to figure out but once we got it done we were happy with the
