Since most LED components require a mini flathead or phillips screwdriver these would be one of the most important tools to have during installation. A normal size phillips screwdriver is required on certain products.
A Voltage Tester is a handy tool to have in order to troubleshoot your electronic connections. By using this tool one can quickly decipher the electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. If you are having connectivity issues with your system you can determine continuity, voltage, and possible voltage drop in your LED system.
It is important to have the necessary wire connectors for your LED project. Whether you are soldering wire together and using heat shrink, using wire nuts, or simply using electrical tape. It is important to be using the proper connectors when installing an LED project.
If you plan on working with LED Strip Lights, it might not be a bad idea to invest in an inexpensive soldering iron in order to cut and reconnect LED Strips for your projects specific length requirements.
