If you want to use the rest of the spool you will have to get connectors and you adapters to split from controller and power supply. You can also order precut led strips for each enclosure. Also you have to decide on rgb (4 wire) or single color (2 wire). I like multi color myself. Also make sure the brightness is at Least 5000k. I think 6500k is probably better since it's close to natural sunlight. Make sure you get ul listed power supplies. Hope this helps some.

I've purchased from this site. They have quality products and cables/connectors.
