Kit of DIY LED Connectors/Hardware

Are there any companies or sources that sell all of the parts necessary to wire an LED panel. As in the wago connectors, a few feet of the appropriate gauge wire, waterproof cable wire connector box(es), screws, wire hangars, etc.?

It is just so expensive to buy the parts individually because for eg. the wagos you can only find in packs of 10 (where I am) and I only need like a foot of wire.

There must be some sort of kit that has everything you need if you have the panel(s) and driver(s) in hand?
 
Never seen a kit myself, because, every bud would be different

I know home centers sell wire by the foot

Electrical stores, and box stores, sell packs of connection summilar to waggo

But I soldered my connection, free if u have an Iron

So use your brain and do alternates than the normal way and it's quite cheap

@BobThe420Builder I'm a loser and a failure in life, I don't really have much of a brain which is why I have asked as concisely as I can for help. There was no need for the shitty sarcasm, but that's what users on this forum are good for I suppose .. ffs.

@NukaKola thank you but those are links to amazon.com. I am Canadian, I will not shop at amazon.com which cost like $10-$50 to ship items and then there are customs duties and taxes at the border. That's the issue I'm having is finding these components on amazon.ca or a similar Canadian vendor. The shipping on those wagos you linked alone is $9 and then there will be duties/customs at the border.

@1212ham I don't understand what that would do for me.

OP, some of the stuff is just better to source locally than online. Tape, wagos, alu channel and cabling i source all that locally (well, whenever i do a china buy i throw in some wagos but they ran out ages ago). Alu channel for example is a megatrap sourcing online, shipping and generally high prices mess up the budget of any build.
Seems like many people on riu will go thru absolute lengths to get the cheapest deal on chips/strips but then when it comes to the 'periferral' stuff they wont even do the sensible and look thru the yellow pages.

No sarcasm intended, just lots of ways to skin a cat

Good luck
 
You could check all the big electronics shops and see whose has the best service to Canada.
Digikey, Mouser, Arrow...etc

Also if you want to add protection you can use fuse blocks instead of terminal strips.

Why? I have already got 4 of these on the way: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/qb120-quantum-board?variant=14318973059121

And I have a driver already, possibly getting 2 from a very generous user here. I only need the uh accessories, why would I buy some overpriced LED crap like ChillLED or Mars? I'm a cheap fuck.

No problems I just thought I seen some of the things your asking about on there sight. I don’t own anything from them myself but seen they had plug kits and wire on there sight.

They would be great for parallel wiring several LED. I glanced at your build and suggest you get some wire nuts or other connectors locally.

Oh I see, I didn't know that's what that did. I will probably be wiring 2 boards in series to 2 different drivers, keep is simple and have 2 lights.
