Cheers for this! I want to throw some lights up on my bookshelves but was really annoyed that there didn't seem to be a way to do this from Govee. Now I know what to do. Much appreciated!
Great stuff. Glad this helped. Make sure to SUBSCRIBE LIKE and hit the NOTIFICATION 🔔 for more videos coming soon 😎👍🏾
Great video....Govee wouldn't have never told us that this is possible.....Thanks

Can this be updated to confirm if the new Govee 5053 strips work with it? Great video and super well done for a topia that isn't clean cut.
Fantastic resources, fantastic guide. Subscribed, honestly, it seems like your channel has some interesting variety.
Thank you 😁👍🏾
Great video thank you! I am just wondering if all the models from govee can be extended. I have a model that I bought in 2021. Thank you
Thanks for checking out the video.
I can't really say to be honest. There are so many different models out there.

only thing is i believe you can link the govee lights anyway so you dont even need to extend them in some cases which is great
Yes as long as you have the correct power supply. But just remember that the controller can sometimes only be programmed to a certain number of LEDs. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏾. Make sure to SUBSCRIBE LIKE and hit the NOTIFICATION 🔔
Hi, great video & very helpful, can you tell what the 4 strand extension cable is called ?
Oh & can you keep the lights on just white instead of the multi colours ?
Thanks👍🏼
Hey glad you found this video useful. Link to all the items are in the description. And yes you can leave the light white of needed.

Instead of extending it, can I just to cut it and reconnect it for the 90 degree corner?
Yes you definitely can 👍🏾
I need a connector to plug strip wires into one side and then JUST +\- I need the other side to power to car battery
Thanks for checking out the channel. Sorry I can't help with this query.

Is there a restriction on length of joiner cable ? I tested it with a short piece all was perfect then with a 4.5 m 4 strand cable it is only light the first 1-2meters of a 10m run with some red blue green clusters further on flashing in sequence. Not sure if it’s the cable or the joiners or the length and I have them mounted already 🙈
You have to make sure the extension doesn't have too much resistance as this will affect the current (the strength of the electricity running through)
@@fluxautomateso what can you do to increase the current?
@@cubanb5401 search power injection for LED's. Essentially anywhere you're having issues you need to inject whatever voltage your system operates on along the path. You could also try to increase the amperage of the power supply.
Very useful video definitely getti g some of these! What would you use if you need to make a lot of small 90° turns? I've tried to use cheap connectors you showed at the start and they stop working as soon as you touch them.
You can use the track but use the connector I use in the video. Will work great 👍🏾
Great video. Thank you.
What cable is it please
hey! is there any to inject power into these leds lights? I split a 5 m strip into 50 cm segments (solder points are at each 50 cm mark). However with all the wires and extensions it seems the second half of the system is not receiving enough power.
Not to sure about that. The lights will be rated to a certain amount of voltage/ampage. Make sure to not exceed the manufacturer guidelines.
Is it possible to connect two RGBIC led strip lights? I want to connect the 32ft and 16.4ft together but I don’t know how. Could I use the materials you used in this video? Thank you in advance for your help.
As long as the power supply is powerful enough it should work.
@@fluxautomateWhat do you suggest if it’s not? I only have whatever came with the products. Thanks.
I’m trying to buy give Govee RGBIC which is one strip but it’s always 2 so I’m gonna cut the first one and attach to the second one. Will I lose out on features in the app?
Hmmmm not to sure. Depends on the specific strip. I would suggest getting the M1 strips to do that as they are build to enable you to extend. Check out the link in my video for the specific link.
They say the rgbic you can’t cut, I’m pissed I’m short like 3 foot I need to add I’m at the end of both rolls, so I just need to add like 3 feet to one
You should be able to cut any lights at the correct point. Just some lights you cannot add additional lengths. Main reason is the app won't identify anything longer and in addition the power supply that comes with it won't be strong enough to power any extra lengths and may malfunction.

Hi. I'm struggling with the cutting and extending part of these particular lights. Govee says ABSOLUTELY DO NOT cut these lights as they'll stop working. I need to make several extensions and 90 degree turns for my application. I know your video shows that you can in fact cut and extend these Govee RGBIC lights but are there any consequences to this? some people say that you lose some of the functionality from the app and other video posters show the strips failing after cutting. I'm so confused. I just need to know for SURE that if I cut and connect as shown in your video, the RGBIC lights will function as intended with no issues. The model of outdoor RGBIC strip I'm considering is the Govee H6172.
Thanks so much for your help!
Use my link to the products that I'm demonstrating in the video that are the H619A. Also make sure to use the connectors that I'm using and this process definitely works with no issues as long as you use the light strips and connectors and cable that I'm using. All products are in the description. If the light strips that you have don't have the copper connection points then I would strongly advise not to cut them.
NOTE this Video demonstrates how to use one complete light strip and extend in-between. NOT adding adding another strip on the end of another strip, this is where you might run into problems as the power adapter that come with the lights is weighted to power only a certain length of lights.
Hope this helps 👍🏾
Does this work for the outdoor Govee RGBICWW Outdoor LED Strip Lights ?
I would advise only to use this product if it isn't exposed to direct rain/water.
Most outdoor lights have a water resistant membrane which you would need to strip parts off to attach the extender.
Hope this helps.

@@fluxautomate Thank you! Any suggestions for outdoors? Is there a better govee set?
@@ReneeSmith-v5r if you need outdoor lights that have a lot of length that you don't need to extend I would probably suggest the Govee RGBIC LED Permanent Outdoor Lights. Thay have a multiple length options up to 150ft but also extender kits than can add an extra 40ft. These would also be easier to install compared to LED strip lights.
Thanks for uploading this, it's very useful. I do have a question and my apologies if this was asked already but, after the cut and reconnecting will the lights still change colors? Meaning if I use the DIY light settings will it still work? Thanks for any assistance!
Yes should work with no issues, as long as the connections are good. SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, HIT the notification 🔔 👍🏾
could you use this to also connect two strands of lights so dont need multiple power supply as in two rolls of 32.8 ft?
Your power supply needs to be powerful enough to supply enough current to the LEDs
Great video, thanks. Do you know, do you HAVE to cut through solder joints or can the LED strip be cut at OTHER points?
Preferably at the solder point would be best but you could at other points just make sure you have enough space from the chips or LEDs to enable closure of the connectors. Hope this helps 👌🏾

Can this be done on tv backlight when upgrading to larger tv?😊
Hi there, thanks for viewing.
No this can't be done for the backlight strips. The control knows how many LEDs there are and the exact location and this can not be changed.

@@fluxautomate Thanks for the reply...will do
No problem 😎👍🏾
Just to add to my last comment... Govee doesn't recommend that you cut ANY of their RGBIC products. But the product in your video is in fact Govee RGBIC.
Yes, you can tell if a light strip is RGBIC as they have 4 copper points where you cut.
My grovee leds have a cut line lmmfao and in box say you can cut lmmfao
I’ve bought a 10 metre reel to do under cabinet and kick board lighting will this be suitable for cutting and joining?🤞🏻
Yes should do just make sure you have the correct voltage and amps on the power supply. SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and hit the Notification 🔔🙂👍🏾
Question, can you connect an rgbic to rgbic so you could have a more seamless picture? On top of that, can you still use the customizability on the app?
Most likely not able to use rgbic as the app reads/assigns the number and location of each LED if you so controlling additional LEDs may not work.
I heard from govee self that the m1 matter cant be cut and extended and there can't be a connector betweet the led.
But i have seen so many videos where i saw that it can be done so is it more of a if it goes wrong then we are not responsible for it thing ??
Sorry if my English is not good.
Its a great video im definitely gonna use it!
Glad the video helped. What will happen is there will not be the correct current running through the strip so the lights nearing the end of the strip won't get enough power so won't perform as required. The result could be a dimming of the lights as a whole or the lights nearing the end will be an incorrect colour. Hope this helps 👍🏾
@@fluxautomate okay thank you for taking the time to react.
Then I'm not gonna cut it haha.
And if I would have 2 x 2m M1 Matter that can connect would it then be possible to use a connector between the 2 strips?
I also think I'm gonna ask the client service just to be sure.
Have a nice day
I bought Govee RGB Smart Wi-Fi + Bluetooth LED Strip Lights and extension strips 1M but It'll so confused as to how to connect them- it seems like they sold me extensions, but the rgb can't be extended? It looks so dumb in my son's room, because the two rgb strips (5m each) that comes f from the present source is just around 30 cm short connecting to meet on the middle. That's why I bought extenders, to make our all the way round the ceiling. Can I extend that little snippet with an extendor clip? Even though I don't have RGBIC?
Yeah you can only extend like for like products. If you extend and having issues it may be down to the power supply not having enought volts or amps. Hope this helps 👍
I've recently bought the new Govee Cube Wall Lights. I was thinking of buying more but the area has a chimney breast that would mean I would have to separate the cube for each side of the breast. Any idea what type of wire gauge they would be and how many strand within them. Cheers.
Not sure on gauge resistance at this time. I would suggest just going to your local electical store and tell them what you need it for and they should be able to help.
What type of your mine sir?, i have govee H619a but i doubt to cut it
Sorry my english bad
Check out the store link in the bio as this will list all the products I review.
Hope this helps.

🙏👍Thank.
hey there i got the govee RGBIC H619A 5m strip leds i wanted to know if i get those connectors could i attach another 5m strip directly onto the end? (if i make a cut at the start of a new one so all the cords aren't attached)
please and thank you in advance for your reply :)
You need to make sure you are using a power supply that can provide enough volts and amps. With out seeing what you are using its kind of hard to give you more information than that. Hope you get it working correctly 🙏🏾
Would the strip still work without reattaching the part that was cut? I mean if we just cut and shortened the strip to length.
Yes, with this type of light strip.
Do the effects from the app work as normal? Would it just bridge between the connectors?
Yes. Just make sure the strip light can be cut. Some a designed not to be cut due to the way the effects work.
I bought a 15 meter Govee flyer, then I bought 10 meters. Can I connect them together through these connectors?
Only can advise is to check to the manuals before cutting
I am using Novostella rgbic and im getting power to the second strand but its stuck on just white and not changing colors. Only the first strand changes colors.
Not sure about that brand to be honest. Make sure your wire are exposed enough with a good connection and that you have correct polarity.
@@fluxautomate I ended up finding the issue. The app has a setting where you tell the app how many LEDs it's lighting. It was on 80 which I guess is default since the set comes designed to be used as 80 on one strand and 80 on the other. But I spliced the strands to each other to make 100ft so I had to change it to 160 LEDs and it works. I found the solution on a another Govee video where they had to do the same for their Govee strands they extended.
@@kashmoney7421 Where do I find those settings I don’t see it ? To tell the app where to extend the amount of lights ?
When in the app at the very bottom there are a few icons. The one furthest to the right looks like a 4 box window. Once you click on it there is timer, schedule, strip light pixel number set, and adjust line order. You want to select strip light pixel number set. This is where you set the number of LEDs.
Am i able to just connect 300ish feet of rgbic with out needing to add an extension?
Hi, thanks for checking out the video. I'm a little confused by your question. What whoildnyou need to extend it if you have the length you need already?
@fluxautomate sorry I left that bit of detail out. But I have 10 rolls of govee rgbic outdoor led strips that are connected in pairs. I want to have one power source with no extension between each strip
I doubt that the power supply that come with them will be powerful enough
Is the RGB(IC) effekt still there?
Yes still working as they should. Check out our Govee T2 video to see them in effect.
Does this also work with Govee RGBIC Pro LED Strips?
Only certain models so be aware before tying to cut
Great video! What kind of wire are you using? Can you add a link
Yes I can. Give me a day or two.
Can you provide the link for the wire connectors please?
@@fluxautomate
Link?

Will it work with Govee Y lights?
As long as they are not assignable area strip lights
No issues for combining two led stripes of govee rgbic?
Just curious if you went ahead and tried this out? I'm going to try it leave me a comment if you did or if you are interested in my results.
I would try not to extend too far as the power supply may not be strong enough. Make sure to Subscribe, like and hit the notification bell. 👍🏾
Hi does this work with the Govee M1 led strips mate
Yes you can cut them to create an extension for going around corners etc and you can also extend up to 32 feet. Subscribe, Like and hit the notification 🔔🙂👍🏾
Thanks mate appreciated, 1 other question please. Can I join 2 Govee M1's together and add extensions where I like as long as I like ? I'm trying to put 2 separate extensions about 2 Meters long each in the same run as 2 M1's
Not to sure about the M1
What model number are you using?
After connecting it, are there any problems with the application regarding the effects?
All products used are in the description.
Not for simple LED strips. Not all strips are made to be adapted so make sure to check this before cutting.
Good
Thank you 👍🏾
