1. There seem to be 10 mm and 8 mm led light strips. The led light strip -connectors- need to be the same size....yes?
2. when fitting a 2 florescent bulb fixture with 2 led light strips-
the 2 strips' wires are connected (hot to hot; grnd to grnd) and then those connected led light strip "bundles" are connected to the power source (hot to hot bundle; grnd to grnd bundle)?
Thanks so much.

Not sure if I know exactly what you are trying to do...
The roll of leds typically found (amazon or eBay) are wired with groups of 3 leds and associated resistors in series... each group of 3 wired in parallel to other groups... They can be cut to length every 3 leds.
These sections (or entire rolls) can be wired either in parallel or series with other lengths because of the series/parallel wiring.
The connectors are either 2 wire (single color), 4 wire (RGB), 5 wire (RGBW).
If replacing fluorescent bulbs, typically need to either remove the ballasts, or buy led strips that work with a fluorescent ballast.
