Can we use the FilmGrade LED strips with another manufacturer's lighting channels?

We have specified Waveform FilmGrade LED strips to be used in another manufacturer's lighting channels. We are trying to determine the logistics for the procurement of all the necessary parts and power supplies. Do you have a service that assists with selecting parts & accessories? Do you have a service that helps select power supplies to suit a specific layout? Are there potential issues with compatibility if we used another supplier's power supplies?

Though we do not have dedicated services for part procurement beyond our storefront website, we would be more than happy to answer any product questions that you might have as well as provide general configuration advice over email. 

Generally speaking, so long as third-party power supplies are compatible and able to offer the appropriate amount of power for the quantity of connected LED products, they should be compatible. If it proves to be helpful, each of our product pages should have a specification sheet that lists the electrical requirements.

We plan to cut as well as join strips. Are there special waveform connectors for the connection/splicing of strips and the wire connection to power?

We are happy to confirm that by using the LED Strip to Strip connector (PN3072), the individual segments of the LED strip lights can be easily connected. 

That said, it might be helpful to know that our LED strip light products have maximum combined lengths of 16.4 ft (5 meters) for 12V versions and 32.8 ft (10 meters) for the 24V versions. When these products are connected to greater lengths than the above, they will likely encounter voltage drops and reduced performance.
