need quick disconnects for my DIY ATS LEDs.

Devaji · May 9, 2018

OK asking all you smart reefers out there I need a easy and safe way to disconnect one side on my led light from my ATS so I can get out the screen for cleaning.

power is coming from a MW LPC 35-700 driver with 2 wires. I would like to disconnect before the ATS box so I can take out one side of the light array.

thoughts?
I am sure there are a few ways to do this...

Just need a way to disconnect the DC + and - wires going to the led array one one side.
Here are some pics...

Yup. Poke the net. Wikipedia 12v dc connectors.
Not “Marine” but have a coupler. Like in a jeabo powerhead.
Water resistant.

I used these in my LED strip lighting for my cabinet lighting and loved them, you can also get Y splitters for them
