Abstract
A strip light includes one or more light assemblies each having a transparent, flexible, and elongated member including a plurality of enclosures with LEDs enclosed therein. A base having a plurality of enlargements is fitted in bottoms of the enclosures. A wire is electrically coupled to terminals of the LEDs. A connecting member is formed at both ends of the elongated member, with each connecting member having two opposite recesses on its surface. In assembly, one connecting member of a first light assembly is cut. The other connecting member of a second light assembly is pressed onto the enclosure of the first light assembly adjacent the cut connecting member until the recesses of the other connecting member of the second light assembly are seated on the connecting elements of the first light assembly. Then, the first and second light assemblies are electrically coupled together.
