Plastic End Cap 20mm - Essential for HVS120 RGB Setup
Sometimes, it’s the tiniest pieces that make the biggest difference. The Aoife Plastic End Cap – 20mm is that final, essential touch that keeps your RGB lighting setup clean, safe, and long-lasting. Whether you're installing strip lights in your home, studio, or office, this humble cap adds that professional finish we all appreciate — especially when it extends the life of your installation.

Installer Tip: Always insert the cap after confirming your end strip is cut to the correct copper break point.
Smart Design Details
Its strong plastic body resists cracking from heat or pressure — common in SA’s warm, dry conditions. While not IP-rated on its own, the cap helps limit debris or insects from nesting into your exposed ends, particularly useful in towns like Gqeberha where humidity and corrosion are real concerns.
Micro-summary: Built for high-usage zones and variable SA climates.
Practical Note: Clean ends with a dry cloth before capping to avoid trapped dust under the seal.
Who It’s Perfect For
Ideal for electricians, home DIYers, signage installers, AV specialists and interior stylists trying to keep RGB strip lighting neat, functional and safe. Also brilliant for anyone running LED strips in rentals, Airbnbs, or temporary event setups.
