      That would be possible but I never tried it. However I know it works using a portable USB charging brick.

    They whamboozled you! - or may be us... LOL Looks like the price went up. 5-pack is listed at $40.99 12-2-23 @11:30a US Central time. I saw these on Amazon the other day and was wondering about them due to the price and the separated wiring. 💥BAM 💥 HandyDadTV brings it! I am disliking the amazon price games though... not your fault... HandyDadTv is AWESOME. Thanks for the info and project ideas.

      I saw it too and thought it was a great price but not sure about the wiring and I passed on it. Wish I would have gotten them when the price was low. @@handydadtv

    Nice video. Very Timely!! Have you come across any fairy lights that give off a warm white? I would like to just have a solid warm white with a slight twinkle

      Yes. Many people use WLED for Christmas trees. I suggest you join /r/wled on Reddit. There are many photos from people who’ve done it.

    Interesting… was there an app that you were using to adjust the settings?

    Its surprisingly hard to find decent faux garland without lights built in. Can you link to what you bought?

    When I powered up my color on the screen was set to orange, but the lights were teal. When I click to blue I get red lights. What did I do wrong? This is using my computer cable to power.

      @callmesparky4154 in the settings. When i get home and can connect to them I'll tell you exactly where I went. If you find the RGB then it's a drop down that changes the order of them. I had to change it through a few options until I hit the right one.

    Could you do a video trying to hack a cheap USB light strip to an inexpensive WLED controller?

    • @handydadtv
      @handydadtv  10 місяців тому

      I haven’t used any strips around my house but they should work the same way as the fairy lights because they should come with this same connector and pigtail.
