This is perhaps a dumb question that I should have asked before installing everything but:
The strip I bought has JST connectors on either end for VIN, DATA, and GND, but each end also has an additional VIN and GND wire coming out of it (see pic).
I capped those off and waterproofed them for my outside installation. Should I have used them? Is there a benefit or are they a kind of backup or way to add power when needed?
