I made a set the other day. It is really easy and you only need to solder 4 spots the positive and negative on the two LED strips. You can probably avoid even that as many strips already come with wires connected on the ends. The set I made I never even connected to the pin. I used 6v LED strips, an RF remote and an old cellphone USB power brick. Just plugged it in to the repair outlet in the pin. I use smart plugs to power cycle my pins. It’s easy enough to tap power from a pin and you don’t need to solder to do it.
If you screw up soldering the strips just snip off a couple of LEDs and try again. You can’t damage anything and don’t even need to go near the pin.
