The matelight has two sets of connection:

• The data lines are sequential - everything's connected in series (see data flow in pic above)
• The power lines are connected wherever, but it's easiest to keep them at the bottom

Each box has a sequential string of lights which runs in a serpentine pattern. When seen from behind, data in should be on the lower left, and data out at the upper left.

It's held together by two ratchet straps which are joined together with the ratchets on the same side.
