    This has got to be one of the most helpful and informative videos that I've ever seen on UA-cam.

    This one was the one I have been searching for to understand for doing cover outdoor LED RGBW around our 1010 gazebo. An eBay seller suggested I use a metal box one but that would be OK for indoors. This one is what I was thinking of but just needed a good UA-cam video to show me how. You need an excellent job explaining it. Now I am ready to go to work of getting 3 meters of LED RGBW to run around the eves of my Gazebo. Thanks for an excellent video.

    What’s is the led amplifier ? Is it like a module control ?

    Wanting to connect multiple led strips around the car /trunk/interior and under glow can I use one source of power for all of them if I connect them with a Y wire to 4?

  • @bnadir3930
    @bnadir3930 8 років тому +1

    Hi , I have a 20m I need to connect continuously , is it better to use parallel connection (from the power supply trough the controller and then to the first 10m, and draw a cable all the way to the next 10m) then the amplifier in between ?

  • @rivosuoth
    @rivosuoth 6 років тому +2

    How if instead of series circuit like in your video, use one big amps 12v power supply and put them in parallel? In parallel circuit, do we still need amplifier for each strip even though the power supply has big amps?

  • @filiphadac1972

    does matter how the cable is long? i need like 2 meters just cable beetween 2 led stripes, will it work?

    can you feed a 5v PWM into one end of the amplifier and then power the thing with 24v to run LED light strips?
    I want to use my arduino board to control LEDs with a PWM logic signal.

    I am looking for connectors that support 8mm RGB? Any idea where I can find them?

  • @mansaha9288
    @mansaha9288 6 років тому

    Isnt your power cable’s size to the amplifier (the second strip) too small? The size also looks so inadequate for the shown length. Thats probably why your second strip is not as bright as the first strip.

  • @tristles7858

    Where would I get an amplifier for a WS2812B strip? I can't find them on Amazon.

  • @SuperOgnimod
    @SuperOgnimod 10 років тому +1

    I have RGB 5050. When I use the connector at the first of this video, the added strip of LED is a different color and does not change colors with the strip connected to the controller. What could I be doing wrong?

    Where can I get the basic connector "snap " I want to extend led strips with it in my living room, ofcourse plus and amp for every 16ft

  • @GapSupplyLED
    @GapSupplyLED  11 років тому

    The controllers are low voltage and hook up directly to your 12vdc battery and then the strip hooks directly to the controller.

    Wouldn't it be better to put a shrink wrap over the connector where you soldered at

  • @stevenlake4316
    @stevenlake4316 7 років тому +3

    After you flip the connector, you are still connecting the blue wire to the 12v power.

    Normally, the iron should be used to heat the pads. Why not with LED strips?

  • @ArcanePath360
    @ArcanePath360 9 років тому

    Very informative and helpful, thanks. Just a couple of questions:
    1: where does the power wire go to from the amp? The RGB in the power or the control box?
    2: Is it possible with 13 meters of 5050, to just run the end back into the power supply to boost it from both ends?
    Thanks

    • @drumlyell
      @drumlyell 9 років тому

      ArcanePath360 I was thinking the same thing. I am going to be running 10m and was planing to just connect a lead to the ground from the end of the 10m strip to make sure the colours stay the same throughout

    • @ArcanePath360
      @ArcanePath360 9 років тому +1

      drumlyell Well I've just tried connecting two strips to the same outlet terminal on my controller and the 13meters of 5050 LEDs light up all the way to the end consistently, so it worked with no amplifier or parallel wire needed. I just made sure I bought an 18a controller to handle it with a 20a transformer. No need to even connect the ends together

    • @drumlyell
      @drumlyell 9 років тому

      ArcanePath360 Cool thanks, good to know. I have three 12V 12.5A power supplies on their way for three runs of 10M each.. If I did my math correct it should work good!

    • @ArcanePath360
      @ArcanePath360 9 років тому +1

      drumlyell That would only allow 150 watts per 10m. I have the 5050 rgb and they are 14.4w per meter, so 10m = 144w. You should always allow about a 20% margin and get an over rated power supply. You can never go too big but you can go too small, otherwise the power pack can over heat and the life be will shorter. However if you plan on using a dimmer it shouldn't be an issue. Also, the current draw is only at maximum when you have all 3 colours up high (white)

    • @drumlyell
      @drumlyell 9 років тому

      ArcanePath360 Cool, so the power supplies are 150W 12V 12.5A. I am going to be controlling them with DMX512 DMX decoders, and programming sequences that will playback in time with my band onstage.. One decoder for each 10M run. I will have to make sure not to program any times with all three colours at full strength! Safe to give it an 80% max ceiling when using all three at once? I may be able to program that limitation into my Ableton Live project... Hmm

    you never have to solder with LED strips. You can buy all kinds of clip-on connectors and it will all be plug-and-play
