I've looked but can't find a strip light where I can have a main cable then plug in 5 off shoot cables .
Such as .....Does such a thing exist?
Caravan and boat suppliers or online specilists for ready made stuff but easy enough to buy strip a power supply and solder.
See Bigclive on Youtube for instructions if you are a beginner.
IKEA? There are 5 plugs but I'm only using 3. Colour changing too!

You have one driver, and how ever many strips you want.
Each strip has 'tails', and obviously the strip furthest away from the driver needs the longest tails.
I done it on these alcove units what I made.
I used lever connector boxes, taking all the wires in, then one out the end which I then wired to the terminal, so as to avoid five wires into one terminal. Just make sure your led driver has the capacity to run 5 strips. Best to get advice from the supplier.
Thanks. Now I know it exists I shall pursue.
If you want led strip on the vertical you can get T connectors. If you just want it on the horizontal then you are only connecting the strips in parallel so any connection will do even choc block and connect all the positives together and all the negatives together. An alternative would be to run it up in an S with the vertical alternating left and right. Might be simpler and you can use off the shelf leads
Will probably need to make what I need.
The horizontals will need to be 1.8 m long and I would need 5 of them. Is that possible just using one plug socket? The longest kit I've seen has used 50cm lengths.
