3.3 Linking Multiple Infinibars (Infinite Blending Design)

A unique feature of the Infinibar PB6 is its ability to link multiple units seamlessly, creating extended or custom shapes without visible gaps between lights. This is achieved using 10 differently shaped connectors (sold separately or included in specific kits) that attach to the ends of the bars.
