EXCELLENT video. Why can't all YouTutes be this straightforward, informative and easy-listening? I'm off to make my LED strip light tracing table. Thanks very much for answering all my questions!
Currently watching this after being yelled at by my dad because he says I have to do research before I go and buy and install something that I thought looked cool
Extremely useful tips. Thank you so much. Also, please accept my sincere thanks for NOT adding any irritating, high-volume background music. Please keep it up. All video-makers should emulate this quality. Thank you once again.
I wouldn't worry about it. These are the same people that would make mistakes from not reading the instructions then call the company and complain they received a "faulty" device......
The video from 8 years ago is still watched by many people, with more than 8 million views. Thanks for the explanation, the details are very good, the content is clear
The best method would be to solder some wires inbetween each end as that provides the best connection. Of course make sure positive and negative ends are properly connected to positive and negative on each end. There are also a variety of connectors you could use as well. When making a long run you may need to add additional power taps, all from the same power supply, along the length of LED's. Otherwise due to voltage drop the LED's near the end very well may get dim. Think of it like a tree's branches. One at the start, one in the middle and one near the end
I know 8 years late to the party but what a wonderful video! So easy to follow yet comprehensive in its nature. I now have (saved) a video that will be a massive help to me, as I don’t do enough to commit it all to memory. ACE! Bob England
I saw this stuff in a DIY store yesterday, and wondered what it was. Now I know what it is, what it does and how to fit it. A really remarkable and clear video, thank you.
bro I just cut mine like a little bit off the cut mark idrc ant it since when its lit up ts not like ppl will see it but im scared that it will blow up
Ok so I totally came here to learn about this but can't escape the impression that the speaker/demonstrator sounds like Keith Brown from the Rag'n'bone Brown woodworking channel. Keith if this is your 👏👏🍻 Awesome my friend! Always love finding another interesting facet to someone I both respect and admire.
These are the types of videos that make youtube amazing. Clear, precise, no long intro, no requesting to subscribe to the channel. Good work LED supplies. Great instructional video!
Because someone asking you to support their stuff that you already are using is that bad? Lol. Dude spent plenty of time making this video and editing and putting it online for free, least we can do as content consumers is leave a like and subscribe to help the guy grow his channel.
Excellent video, very informative - please note however for users that use subtitles, your Powering LED Strip section subtitles at 7:22 is not showing the correct recommended length amount as per the narrator in the video. The narrator suggests 9.6W per meter strip, a maximum of 5 meters is powered, however the subtitles suggest 10. Use 5 as per the narrator, if you happen to come across this in the comments section (For those without sound or have hearing impairments).
Thanks for providing such a comprehensive video ! Lot of videos are there which tell about how to cut and connect but no one and I mean it no one talks about power calculation and using the appropriate Adapter with it . This shows how detail knowledge you have . :-)
I just bought 2 rolls of these LED strips from SAYAL electronics in toronto and I will use it to light my Ho buildings for my trainset, awsome product and simple to use
I’ve been researching your products on your website for my kitchen. You have SO many products I’m getting overwhelmed! Can you guys do a video chat “consultation” so I can be pointed in the right direction for the right products??
just installed a 3mt led strip that cost me just over £4, this is to supplement my small 600watt led panel. all i done was just bend it around into lines until it was used up. i cannot believe how bright it is, buy a couple of these and you will grow anything you want especially things that veg and bloom.
Thanks ever so much for this. I have a very badly installed set of strip led lights and wondered how it was done. You have explained it well for me to approach the job with some confidence.
All of these special adapters and extra part numbers you don’t really need to just simply power some low powered Led light strips like these.. *1.Cut the charge end off a USB phone charger cable- 2. Strip back the red and black wires to bare metal wire. 3. Attach/solder the red wire to the +positive on the led and the black to one of the other copper pads depending on what color you would like them to be! 4. Plug the USB end into any 5v source/ phone charger block... Let there be light! And save your money by using old shorted phone charger cables!
+Matthew Bishop You can cut them and power multiple bots of LED strip using a wireless controller which then pairs with a wireless or multiple wireless receivers take a look at some of these examples but we can offer for single colour or colour changing LED strip www.led-supplies.com/led-controllers/led-dimmer/wall-mounting/led-strip-dimmer-wireless-single-zone/
+Matthew Bishop Yes you can use 1 remote but then buy 2 receivers which are available on their own as order code COMPACT-RECEIVER . Doing this you can effectively power as much LED strip as you want in different places all from the one remote controller www.led-supplies.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=compact-
Just add an input wire - something like this www.led-supplies.com/led-installation-accessories/cables/quick-connect-power-cables-for-led-strip-lighting/ there are different versions of this for different types of LED strip and then you can power it up from an LED driver as usual
Thanks for your kind comment. We are UK based but can ship LED strip lighting or any of our products globally by Fedex for fast delivery, usually from stock
RobsMemoryLane Hi Yes, you can add more LED strip on - check each spec to refer to maximum single run lengths. for running in series You can also use repeaters to power more LED strip from a single dimmer or controller like these www.led-supplies.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=repeater or we do a range of quick connecting cables to make the job easier as well like these www.led-supplies.com/led-installation-accessories/cables/corner-connection-cables-for-led-strip/ or maybe these connectors www.led-supplies.com/led-installation-accessories/connectors/. Thanks for contacting us i hope that helps
helcat316 If you mean 4 lithium ion cells connected in series you will what to get a power transformer or something like that (cant remember right now) to keep the voltage between 12-14V because a charged lithium ion battery is around 3.9v X 4= 15.6 Volts which will burn out the LEDs or make them turn into a very weird color
+Alejandro Chavez Ramirez If you want to power just a small piece of LED strip from a battery this is perfect as once the batteries are fitted it provide a 12vdc output www.led-supplies.com/led-drivers/portable-power-battery-for-led-strip-lighting/battery-pack-for-led-strip-12vdc-8-x-aa/
I just need to know how to connect two strips together
Same did you find out yet?
Jacob Toske nope I just had to hang up a bunch of extension cords all around my room. Also I have to use 4 remotes 😅
@@esliaurkiko cant you use the same remote
Jacob Toske no it doesn’t work I tried to pair two to the same but it doesn’t work
Aaliyah Essien I might have to do that but really want to find a way to connect it without 3 remotes
It's 2:45am and I'm watching how to cut LEDs.

Not a bad video but in the beginning it says where to cut the LED strip but it doesn't show where to cut it I still don't know
My lights didn't come with the connectors:(

me too
me tooo
Same and now it’s not working
Mines didn’t come with the power supply
Currently watching this after being yelled at by my dad because he says I have to do research before I go and buy and install something that I thought looked cool

I appreciate it. You're very patient, very calm, I just appreciate your video. Thank you so much.
This right here is now all videos like this should be made. Very thorough. Nice job.
ok I get how to cut strips now. How do you join strips to make a much longer strip if needed?
