i give up
hello have a good day LITETALLY JUST HAPPENED TO ME
LITERALLY
i’m so stupid i literally cut it and forgot it won’t have power and o don’t want to do all that wiring
same here
What do u do I just did that
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
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
Good Dad. Take his advice
Same but with my mom😂
At least you’re doing something: my kid just plays video games all day.
Gustavo G. ah same
Wow we really are living the same life

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!
YouTutes lol

M K Martin because it’s boring
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
instructions unclear, my rooms on fire
That's covered in an upcoming video. Sit tight for a week. They'll cover how to get that fire out then.
I-😭
😂
Lmao😂😂😂😂
except your room isn't on fire
Settings > Speed > 1.25, Thanks :)
my god, what a dif. sounds normal now
You cant please all the people all the time, sorry :(
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......
No we all on mobile
Azurda Azurda mobile has it now
2:05 is where they start connecting (you’re welcome 😇)
You have no idea how many questions you just answered for me. Thank you very much for this video.
+Kieran O'Mahony Its a pleasure - glad we can help with your LED strip questions :)
I agree. Exactly what I was looking for 👍
Kieran O'Mahony 2 years later still very useful i love this
...
Exactly ! I believe all the questions have been answered
My lights didn't come with the connectors:(
MCRTS mine didn’t either :////

Same and now it’s not working
Mines didn’t come with the power supply

You are an entire lifesaver. I'm doing my first light up cosplay and I really needed the advice.
Your video is teaching me way more than I expected.
I appreciate it. You're very patient, very calm, I just appreciate your video. Thank you so much.
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.
Wow I just love how clean and professional this is
Thanks John - its great to feel appreciated. :)
Best instructional video I've ever seen. Clear, precise and useful.
Very very helpful. taught me everything I was looking to learn about this. Thank you
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.
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
A very precise and understandable video, thank you, will be very helpful
Our pleasure Angela, we are very pleased you found our LED strip lighting video useful :)
Hello, I can offer very good LED Strip Lights, you can contact me.
excellent video thanks guys. I can now cut my led strip down knowing I am not going to stuff it all up! cheers!!!
If you have a basic understanding of electricity and are used to following instructions these videos are very well presented.
This is a great video - Clear, concise and very useful! Thank you!
When a video that shows how to cut the led light has better quality than caution video for dangerous high school chemistry class
Amazing. Really well explained and clear and concise. Thank you!

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 . :-)
This right here is now all videos like this should be made. Very thorough. Nice job.
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!

Very good explanation. Cleared all my doubts. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Amit pleased we can help with your LED strip knowledge! :)
Well done! That is one of the most helpful, informative and professionally made video i ever come across.
My le light doesn’t have the connectors so, when I cut my stripes it doesn’t work 😢
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

Great video! Simple and informative. I came into this video completely clueless about LED strips and now feel I could install LED light in the room by myself instead of having to pay someone. Thank you so much for making this video.
Go for it 👊
Indeed, I agree :D
Clear, thorough step by step. Thank you

*September 2019. This video still gets your attention. unbelievable =))*
Briliant video. I now know how to calculate Watts as well. Thank You!!
Thanks, just got one. I just can’t say how much I thank you for this video.
Fabulous - once again, British videos rock! Clear, simple, informative, no bullshit. Thank you. 🙏🏻
ok I get how to cut strips now. How do you join strips to make a much longer strip if needed?
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
1000 Subs With No Videos I mean only 3 years
@Ragkos GR you're questioning that but I'm questioning how hes verified
@Ragkos GR how can you tell
@ColorSkates Athens Mm i dont think thats an emoji
Thank you so much! Great video, exactly the info I needed on connecting power to strips!
I own a audio video small company and you just got me where I needed to be on LED strips. GRACIAS!
Excellent. Thank you.
+John Watson Much appreciated John - we have just launched a new LED supplies website with lots more LED strip lighting www.led-supplies.com/
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.
@@immaculate7792 I absolutely did! Liked, subscribed and gave a positive comment. I would do what I can to support people like this.
Thank you so much for sharing this ! I appreciate it a lot.
Dude! From here in the States thanks very much. We owe you a drink!
Great video!
Thank you very much for posting this video. This was very informative, & educational as well. You sir have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.
This video is very clear to understand and very helpful. Thank you!
Clear and concise, thank you.
Great information and well presented.
Thanks SEOtoolsforyou, we are pleased you found it a helpful introduction to LED strip
Mines didn’t come with the connectors 🤦🏽♂️
Samee
Cedrick S same and in the amazon post it showed everything
Very will said and demonstrated, step by step. Thank's Mr.G
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.
very precise very direct very informative. would consider purchasing kit from you just from the quality of the video. regards
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
dude, this video is lit. I'm telling ya
thanks for your kind comment. We think LED strip is great and as many people as possible should be using it :)
they didn't get the joke :/
My... How very bright of you to notice
He must be rather dim witted
Very good video with clear language ( unlike other instruction videos yours is easy to understand for people with Mother-tongue being non-English )
This video was wonderful !! Very informative and clear!!
God video ven.
Well explained an very easy to follow. Thank's👍
thanks for your kind comment, our pleasure :)
Thank you. A very well done tutorial.
Very informative and helpful. Thank you very much👍🏼
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).
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!
I wish I could understand this ughh lol
Thank you, this tutorial is very helpful.
Amazing Video!
Very clear and helpful. Thanks!
Why didn’t you show how to put two together?! That was the only reason I came here.
solder them together using short wires
Can you cut them and use that other half at another place? How would that work with the remote, and what needs to be purchased extra for that to work?
+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-
Gotta say this is a well made and very helpful video that you rarely see on youtube
Great stuff. Perfect explainer video for someone investigating LED strips. Cheers, JAYTEE
super
I LED's my desk, And It was to long so I cutted it (correctly). So now I have a left over LED strip, but how can I make that work?
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
Just like he did in the video
Are you brain dead ? It's shown on the video FCS
@@1414141x rude
The video shows how to establish a connections on the strip maybe put your glasses on an re watch the video
thank you for covering everything!
Excellent information. Thank you.
30m X 4.8 = 144
144+20% = 175w,
IS this easy to find? i want to lighten my whole living room in one circuit and one connector
Can you splice on another LED strip to make it longer?
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
Great video! Precise. Clear. Thank u
Thanks Shamz, our pleasure
Thanks! Perfectly answered any questions I had!
Daniel Strub Glad to here we were of assistance :)
can I run led strip on 12w battery?
Yes you can. check out this section www.led-supplies.com/led-drivers/portable-power-battery-for-led-strip-lighting/
LED supplies thanks
Abhishek Bhagwat ufñ
12V would be better. :)
They can run on a battery these LEDs? is for the few, not one meter
+Alejandro Chavez Ramirez As long as it's a 12 volt battery its fine
+PC TechTips what if you want to run a 4s lipo batttery pack woud like to build led race track outside
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/

wow I wish we had teachers in our varsity who teaches like this. so simply explained.
I'm impressed by those aluminium extrusions 👏
