Bllsht. Ive tried 3 different brands. They dont stay connected well and half the lights are green if they do.
1😊😊😊😊😊
Crazy that these companies sell these with no instructions on how to connect the lights using the connectors. You got to wonder how many people are returning these all cut up cuz they can't figure it out. Literally nothing in the instructions on how to do this.
And how disappointing it is when you think you cut, stick and have lights. Knew it was too good to be true
this is actually made for technicians who knows how to do it
@@christianraymundodelacruz7484 no it's not, if it was it would be sold in a specialty store. It's sold in Walmart, and Amazon. It's for consumers.
I didn't need instructions out the box for my first time...though I cut a piece of strip in the line and not on the middle copper part, thankfully it wasn't that long but definitely taught myself a fun lesson learned type of experience!
@@christianraymundodelacruz7484 false
I've seen these lights advertised and even though they say DIY cut to fit, they never give more details. Thanks so much for clearing up some confusion.
You're welcome!
Lol you simply cut them 😂
@@darrenhayes7786 yeah but on instructions it’s says not to cut any of the led strip that what the confusion was about
⁷⁷
@@darrenhayes7786 it’s doesn’t tell you, that you needs to by a extended to make sure all the lights work
Just bought a 5m roll for a cabinet internal lighting and kind of guessed one cuts on the copper but wasn't sure of that fact. Thanks so much for a clear consice and waffle free video. Wasn't awate of the connectors or extender accessories either.
This is the most detailed method I have seen about cutting and extending the light strip, and it uses an RGBCW light strip. This light strip is more complicated to connect than single color light strip, and it also explains the connection accessories at the corners. Very useful, great video. keep going.
Thanks much appreciated!
Straightforward, clear, simple, and informative instructions. Thank you for your help!
Simple clear instructions. What more could you ask for👍
Appreciate you shedding some light on this subject ( all Puns intended ) A couple of years ago @ Huntsville Hamfest I purchased a couple of strips without any intention of connecting them together. Recently during building the Tennessee Valley Model Railroaders N Scale double deck layout ( Bell Buckle, Tennessee) Several members used RGB Strips for lighting underneath the upper deck. Which has inspired me to explore using RGB Strips in my home. Thanks for sharing this video & information.
Very helpful! I am making some LED wall sconces with oak boards I milled and didn't have a clue on how to wire the lights. This is really helpful! I'm going to look at your other instructionals. Thank You.
Thanks for the simple and easy to understand instruction!
Thanks! So informative and simple! Appreciate you taking the time!
Thank you for saving my time. This video is more detailed, loud and clear, step by step 1,2,3 and then B☀️☀️M 💡 lights up ⭐🌟⭐👏👏👏👏👏
A lot of instructions videos with too many brands of LED lights has a BS instructions.
Yours is Awesome 💡 you make my kids happy 🧚♀️🤴👼👸🧚♀️
So simple when you know how. Thank you!
Really helpful! I was looking into how I could connect two strips to one power supply but with a break as they're for under my kitchen cupboards. Thanks so much
😩
DID YOU FIND THE ANSWER?
Thank you sir for the excellent video , i decided that i wante dmy Led lights on the back of my desk just so at night i can have some lights to go along with my LED Lava Lamp and i could have a really cool set up but i did not know how to cut the LED LIGHTS Safely so i could make sure i dont damage my lights and you sir are a life saver now my LED Lights wont hang over my disk and i can have lights on the top and bottom of my desk. Thank you again for your time making this vid
Thanks for the vid, dude. Very instructive.
thanks for the video, it's clear and concise and shows what I need to see
It's very helpful to my valued customers.
Thank you! video was very helpful. Just finished closet LED light with help of this video, looking awesome! 👍
Awesome great to hear this video helped.
thanks really informative and simply explained 👍
Thank you so much for this video. Now I feel like this is something I can’t attempt to do on my own. I’m a grandma so sometimes doing the things of scary but you made this simple and straightforward. Thank you.
THANK YOU, for posting -
I hate it when a company makes an item and the store stocks it and sells it, but doesn't stock the parts to use it to its full amount. Nowhere in the store, nor online store, sells the splicer kit for 5 terminal lite strip. I had to have my daughter, who has an Amazon account, to order my kit. That's absurd !
Thanks for posting this training video
This helped a ton! Thank you
Thanks this worked very well!
Thankyou so much this helped ALOT thankyou ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the video
Clear instructions and helped me out a ton. Thank you
You made this so easy to understand! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you got me out of a bind I couldn’t figure out how to make it work stopped and watched a video give you a like
Better video than most, very detailed! Great job!
Thanks!
Wow, this whole time I thought you had to solder this stuff. Thanks (and subscribed 😉)
Always helpful and easy to follow
Glad you think so! :)
Excellent Big Dawg 👍🏻
Thanks for this!
Yes great video thank you🤟
What the heck. Great video straight to the point thank you!!!!!
this is everything I needed to know. thanks
❤️
Great! Thank you!
Great video!
Very informative video.
When it comes to cutting, can we just trim it and still be good to go with the shortened strip?
Tyyy!!! I buying led lights in a few days and this answered ALL of my questions for installation!!
Brilliant video mate well done
Thanks!
Which camera do you use? The quality is soo clear!
Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you so much for this! One question, have you tried extending RGBIC type led strip? For example, I have a 32.8ft long RGBIC strip but I need another 6ft long to complete a loop. Can this be done or will it mess up the segmentation control?
I've not tried but in theory I've been told it should work.
You just saved me thx 😂❤
can you mismatch the colours between strips to get a 2 tone strip that syncs when fading/flashing etc. but has different colours?
Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
Shut up
Hi, Very impressed with these innr strip lights...where as they might not be the brightest but the fact it works flawlessly with my hue stuff is great
Hi , I want to do the same that you've done In your kitchen with the cooker and extending it . What did you use ,and do you know if you can extend a wiz led strip 🤔? Cheers
Ok I just want to cut them bc they are to long and put that somewhere else so I cut it on the copper and then I have to get clips? And I can't just move the rest of the strip elsewhere and call it a day? Cause it's Bluetooth.
Edit : I don't know what I'm doing
It work thank you
Great video, first time I have seen anything on your channel. I love your voice, you sound just like Michael McIntyre.
😂
Do I have to use a extender to finish the light strip or can I use extra light strip to finish the light strip?
hello Thank you for the great explanation. does any 6 pins connector work ? I noticed that the names of the 6 pins in your led strip are different than mine. is this important or does any 6 pins connector work with any 6 pins led strip?
Where do you get thoes connectors
I would like to cut and expand the strip in to different locations.
And can you tell the gage of wire is being used to extend please ??
Thank you
Awesome vid and edits and filming and explaining
very useful thanks lots 👍
👍
Thanks for the explanation. The companies should give you a cut because their profits just increased 1000% because of you!
Thanks!! Freakin awesome tutorial
❤️
Usefull video! Thinking of getting an led light strip also in the future
Thanks for the comment 👍
you got it ?
Hi, you seem knowledgeable about this topic. I have a 25 meter led light strip. The first 15 meters work, but the remaining 10 meters don't light up. Is it possible i just cut the junction where it started to not light up then connect them again with a 4 pin connector? Or does the new 10 meters cut will require a new power controller? Thank you
This was extremely helpful. Thank you I've saved the video for when I try again 3rd times the charm 😂 hopefully.
What happened the first two times?
Thanks
really helped
Just amazing bro
Can you please do a video on your Kitchen counter lights install (seen @4:20) and extension around the Cooker hood? This is exactly what I’m trying to do so would be appreciated. I am looking to see if I can continue the strip under the cooker hood itself as a better alternative to its own bulb light. But this would require perpendicular joint - not 90 degree one as you showed ?
This is interesting👌👌👌
Can this be done with individually addressable LED light strips or would that confuse the control device?
I'm thinking in regards to WLED effects, etc.
It mentioned in the video how to cut when its to long (at the start) but never revisited it in the video. Whats the correct way to cut if to long?
at the 415 mark where you have the break of the strip in kitchen. That is what I will have with the window/sink. So if you cut it how does the other half light up if it is cut from the other side that is probably connected to the plug? Thanks
Aaaaweeesomeee!!
Great video man!!,
Would you know the difference among 2pin LED, 3, 4 up to 6?
Very interesting world.
Thank you!
Rhe additional pins are normally there if it has more colour options from like RGB + W as an example
Very good tutorial 🙏
THANKS
Hey, would that work if i split a 5m individual addressable strip in 5 equals parts and use the connectors to extend them 2m apart from one another.?
Very awesome! I was thinking of displaying something with led lights!
Thanks!
I have some left over RGB strip light and I’m wanting to use it as a single colour. Can I just add two wires to the positive and the B terminals?
Could you please do a video on using these led strips on how to connect it to power source and switch for small projects like resin castings and minature diaramas?
Yes, please do so.
Great video, i am missing the part where you would connect a new Power supply tho
Same
How do you connect the cut piece to power? If you wanted to cut one strip to make two that is?
If I have a remote and one adapter and if I cut the leds will both still work with one remote
what about the LED strips that have the weather poof coating ? Juts trim it ?
Tysm
Probably the best information on UA-cam. Stewart film screens doesn’t give any details on their LED kits for their projection screens
I bought 5m and 10m led strip will it work proprrly if i combine it and use only one ac adapter 12v-1a?
My light strip says 12v at the cut point and is 3 pin. Does the hippo connector have to be specifically for 12V if it's a 3 pin hippo?
Thank you so much for your video. It gave me Idea of lightning led bulbs...
Hey can I connect it with the copper or do I have to buy the connector
Need a connector
Does the rest of the light strip still work??
Is this any leds? Or specifically these I’m getting new ones for my room and I want those extreme color fading ones advertised on tiktok
I have the daybetter one st of 65 ft lights on two rolls
Do I connect these the same way
Is it possible to cut them down to one single light? I need it for a cosplay
Can you tell us how to extend the cut off bit on the LED lights
hi i have the same strip as yours and the same black connector but i am trying to connect the t shape and L shape white connectors to the strip but the grb are in a different order at the top they say bgr instead of grb on the strip and on the other end of the connector it says rgb which does not match up to the led strip do i have to match up the letters the same if so what can i do.
im so dumb im so lost rn...😀
Need an update on this video for the V2 hue strips!
My LED lights connecter is with my phone adapter but it doesn't give it a full power energy! What should i do?
How do I power my LED strip on the ceiling? Do I have to run the lights down the wall to power source?
