1. A tape light termination system comprising:
a housing having a first side configured to receive conductors and a second side configured to receive a light emitting diode (LED) tape light comprising LED diodes mounted on a planar surface of a printed circuit board strip; and
a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing such that a conductor termination end of the terminals is aligned with the second side of the housing and configured to electrically couple with the conductors, and an LED tape light receptacle end of the terminals is accessible from the first side of the housing;
the housing comprising a landing shelf formed in the housing and sized to receive the LED tape light, the landing shelf aligned with parallel slots formed in the housing on either side of the landing shelf to receive a portion of the LED tape light, the LED tape light receptacle end positioned in the housing to electrically couple with the LED tape light and each of the terminals disposed in a compartment in the housing such that a first terminal is positioned above the parallel slots for electrical coupling with a first side of the LED tape light and a second terminal is positioned below the parallel slots for electrical coupling with a second side of the LED tape light, the first and second sides being on opposing planar surfaces of the LED tape light.
