Case 1: Led Light Strips – 10M/20M

( X Serial Connection; Parallel Connection )

Models: KL400L10, TapoL900-10, TapoL900-20,TapoL920-10, TapoL930-10 etc.

The 10 or 20-meter-long light strips are composed of multiple 5-meter-long light strips. The included 5-meter-long light strips do NOT support being connected in Series, they can only be connected in Parallel.

Each of them is connected to the controller separately like in the following picture

Case 2: Led Light Strips- 5M ( X Serial Connection )

Models: KL400L5, KL420L5, TapoL900-5, TapoL920-5, TapoL930 etc.

For the light strip whose whole length is 5 meters, it DOES NOT support connecting with the same model of another 5-meter-long light strip.

Case3: Led Strip(s) – KL430 ( Serial Connection )

KL430(2*1m) supports being connected in Series with another 8 KL430E(1*1m) for a total length of 10 meters.
