Heartbeat is cool looking too. I like it
Thanks for you using BTF SP608E.
Thank you for making quality products that I'm able to twist and use my own way to create my vision.
Do you guys make this LED strips? - I orderd 10sets of 12v 144led 1m - and they all have faulty dead led minimum 1 per strip, i spent quite a large amount of money and amason website hasnt helped at all. i am in england
@BTF-LIGHTING cane you hellp my to do same think?
Cane I have a email to send more info?
@@BoredGuyWithACamera did you ever find out if you could program your own effects?
Can you add a strobe effect to the app? Or can I program my own effects?
Checking showing support. You have been my go to guy so far.
Thank you for showing the channel support from the beginning.
Looking good 👍
Thank you
I like the lights that look like they are twinkling multi colored stars.
I have this too! You can speed up and slow down & extended the length too!!
You should start all videos with how it looks first and then explain how it was done
Thank you for stopping by to check out the video and leaving feedback. I'm still learning and trying to figure out what works best. I appreciate your feedback and will definitely keep it in kind.
Thanks for inputs . Do we really need 40 amp power supply for sp608e from your list or 12 v 9 amp supply is good or do we need both
Looks nice, was this an Expensive setup ?
Last year this set up would be around 350 bucks. Everything is up a little bit this year.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera thanks, I think I might attempt it this year. I just watched the video of your neighbors setup, was that a similar cost too ? Any particular setup or items you'd recommend specifically ?
That's awesome. Definitely let me know if you need any tips or suggestions. I'm here to help. I have full product listings in all my video's.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera OK thanks, going to watch more of your videos but I'm sure I'll have more questions
thanks for all the videos you do, definetly helping me in making my arches.
with this controller can you change the colors of each of the effects it has? like could you change the commit to flow in green or red and not just the white?
Thank you fir the support, I greatly appreciate it and knowing the videos are helping makes it all worth it. So you ate able to change the colors on most of the settings. Some are locked to certain colors but as far as the comet goes. Definitely, I just tried it.
Love this! Has the diffuser lens turned yellow since you first installed? I like the spotless look, but I understand those milky white diffusers are typically styrene, which can yellow over time. The manufacturer doesn't specify what material is being used. Acrylic resists yellowing, but I'm guessing only the crystal clear lenses would be acrylic. Any insights on getting that spotless look and avoiding yellowing would be very helpful.
Great question, our lights have been up for a little over a year. The diffuser has not changed in color at all. All our lights are installed under the roof line and face down. So since they are never in direct sunlight they will not yellow. Not 100% sure, but so far so good
hello , I admire your work and your explanation, I dream to have something similar to you I have dewpond this video and play more time to see the wire and other details. I see now that you use different led strip and different controller then what it is in this video presented. After your knowledge a time, if you cane start again , what it is the led strep and controller that you recommend to use for a project similar to your ? (if you cane recommend a led strip a controller and if need amplifier/power injection will by useful) Tnx in advance for the info
Sorry for the late response. These btf products have been great.

I'm currently using amzn.to/3S0t6AG for my power supply and controlling it with amzn.to/3trYwqg I'm also still using two amplifiers amzn.to/3RH1L5c
I will tell you that I'm switching up my entire set up and going to switch everything out to govee products. I purchased a bunch of stuff already and when it gets warmer I'll start working on the new set up.

Wow this is great! Question, I have a wall where I want a LED Strip (individual adressable lights). The wall is 15M and on 1 site there is a powersocket. Are you aware of a 15M LED Strip to do this? Or can I do it with 4x 3m (it are 4 parts of 3 m and 50cm in between every time).
Thank you , I appreciate your feedback. I would go with something RGBIC for better effects like this set up. amzn.to/3LizQ74 you can always use a different controller later if you decide to. Thank you for stopping by and watching the video.
In my set up all strips turn on de same color except one. All the others are red and the one is blu if I switch the color to blue the one turns green. Any idea on how to fix it. Thanks in advance
I love your holiday videos! I just bought 2 65ft strip rolls of ws2811 24V. It comes with the brick style 24V power supplies. For now I plan on using them because it's all I have at the moment.
Do you think it will cause any issues if I extend the wires from the power supplies to reach the led strip? The length to the first power supply and led controller to the beginning of the run is about 40ft. The middle of the run since I have 2 ..65 ft rolls ..is about 35 ft from the power supply and the end of all is only 18ft away from the power supply.
Or should I get just 1 large 24V power supply similar to yours and use the sp901 to distribute the runs so I won't need to inject power?
* Only thing is, is the run of power ground data will still be a long run...example ...35-40 ft until it gets to the led strip.?
The whole setup is going under my house on a sheet of plywood mounted to floor runners. The sp107e "getting wifi controller" will be there as well.
What's your opinion?
I appreciate the support, I don't see any issue running longer wires considering you will be running 24v. You might have a slight drain in brightness but 24v is so bright your not going to miss out on anything . Switching out controllers and power supply is based of preference in what you think you could add in the future 😉. My plan was going to be to add a 16ft mega tree this year so I added more power. I did not need it on my original set up. But just like anything else if you plan to add more each year you will add more power.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera hey thanks got the info. Well I'm late this year getting to put them up but I have 2 parts of the house installed..ws2811 24v but I have a issue. I cut the led strip to the length I needed and made a jumper of the same exact cable you used but when i power the leds up, the second strip is white all the time. So to eliminate my soldering job and wiring I put a controller and power supply to the led that stay white and they work as they should but when I link the 2 strands together , 1 works the other is white.
I made a new jumper, same.
I made sure the arrows -> are all going the same direction.
Injected another 24v power supply to the end of the strips.
It's only 19t long so far total 1 section is 14ft the second is 5ft long with a 3.5ft cable connecting the 2 strips.
Do you have any suggestions as I contacted the vendor and they're trying to tell me I need a inline Amp that solders in the middle of my jumpers to carry the data signal.
I have a sp901e but I wanted my legs to run all 1 right after the other instead of multi sections running at once if that makes sense.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx Eric
@@BoredGuyWithACamera if you need me to make a video and post the link I can so you can see what I'm working with.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera found my problem. It was a blown ic chip at the end of the first run. 😳
@@superbazooka213 I'm sorry, I just seen all your comments at once. Glad you figured it out
Hey BoredGuy! Need to pick your brain... I'm trying to make a sign out of lights, just letters, what would you recommend to just like a string of lights or should I use LED tape lights, rope lights? I would like to use color changing features as well. Thanks!
I would definitely go with pixels amzn.to/3ysXhFl string lights. Im working on a video using these amzn.to/33j7acX that could definitely be used to make a sign and they are plug and play. Thank you for the support 🙏
@@BoredGuyWithACamera awesome! Thanks so much for getting back to me!
Wow amazing...
Can i have toure diagram for that set up sir
Thank you for stopping by. I have a bunch of detailed videos on how to install and hook up.
ruclips.net/p/PL7DVVrozyJQiBxvl4trYPOwO2_om_ta8c
So you can face the meds strips down and they will still be bright enuff or do they have to face outward?
Absolutely. All my led are facing down.
I just bought the SP608E, the SP901E and the BTF WS2812B LED strip lights off of the links in your video, but I have a few questions for you.
The big p/s feeds power to the SP901E correct?
On the Signal Input from the SP608E you have a black ground wire and maybe a blue DAT wire coming from the SP608E. Is that also right?
If it is then so far so good 👍
The on the Output 1 (2,3,4) of the SP901E you are running a VCC, GND and DAT1 wires all the way out of the garage to the beginning of the WS2812B LED strips correct?
If that is also right then I need to buy some heat shrink tubing and wire to run from the Outputs of the SP901E to the LED strips.
So I would take the connector that is supplied with the LED strips and plug the female into the male end. Then I would complete the circuit using the wire I ran from Output 1 to the Red Green White pigtail, right?
If I am good so far my final question is what are the extra Red and White wires on the LED strip used for?
Sorry to be so lengthy and thanks for your help.
It's no problem at all. I try to help everyone out the best I can. Yes the PS is hooked up directly to the SP901Es, then I have a 12v power supply plugged into SP608E. The 608e has data and power running into the SP901E but not ground. The ground is supplied by the PS. I have standard low voltage 3 wire coming out of the SP901Es direct to the start of each LED strip on the house in 5 sections. Or 5 channels from the two SP901Es. The extra wires on the strips are built in injection points. So if you connect 3 or 4 16ft strips there's a good chance you will need to inject extra power in the middle and end of each long section. I have not run into a situation where I needed to inject power so far. As I continue to build on to my LEDs I will probably need it. I ran power and ground while I was doing my lights and just taped them up and tucked them in behind the siding fir when I need them . I hope this helps answer your questions. If I missed something please let me know. Thank you for stopping by and supporting the channel.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera yes it sure does answer ny questions. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it! 😊
@@BoredGuyWithACamera is there any way to program the lights with the SP608E?
I have the app on my android and it only shows preset scenes. I would like to change the colors of the LEDs, but I do not see that ability in the app.
I also have not been able to find any other support online for this product either like a manual. 😔
@@holyroller6978 it looks like there is a way, give me some time to try and figure it out. I'll get back to you. Happy Thanksgiving
@@BoredGuyWithACamera excellent and thanks! I would love to be able to figure out how to program the lights to do what I want in the colors I want 😊 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too.
I want to do this to my house! I’m kinda lost of what to do though. Do you have a video of how you install everything?
Absolutely, check out my channel. I have a Playlist of the installation and the upgrades I've used to get to where I'm at now.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera I’m looking at them now. I bought these lights once for my car and they never work. Do you have a IG page ?
@@JonathanTorres-so4qq I do, search for BoredGuyWithACamera
Why did you switch from the sp105e? I am having problems with my setup now 4 strands of btf-ws2812b with power injection at the beginning and end of each strand. And sometimes it turns on and some not. Some people have said the sp105 is not a good controller and has caused issues
Mone still works. I use it for my arches. I just like the amzn.to/3GGE1sK better cause I can separate each channel for more effect.
I know you can put 8 different channels. Do all 8 of the led strips need to have the same pixel length? I want to use this controller to control both long and short length strips
Thank you for stopping by to check put the channel. In some of my updated videos you can see that I'm up to using 5 channels that are all different lengths. With this controller it doesn't really matter the length of each run. Just keep in mind that you may have to power inject some of the longer lengths. I hope that helps. Thank you
Hi bro..can I know what type cable suitable for led stripe..my data is lost too much in the amp sp901e if i pull a long label
Absolutely, so what worked well for me was the
amzn.to/3lSxvVk that amplifies the signal along with amzn.to/3N0pSbo I have not had any issues with this set up with lost data. I hope that helps, thank you for stopping by.
hello, you use only 1 source, correct? how to deal with the voltage drop of the wires since they go at a great distance from the source? are you sending the energy only through the correct signal amplifier? or is there a direct wire from the source to the led strips?
That is correct, I'm using a single power supply and controller. The signal amplifier is doing all the work. I have a very small voltage drop but not enough to power inject.
@@BoredGuyWithACamera I understand, in my project I connected 3 sources in parallel due to the neutral of the controller, the sources are close to the led strips, but the strips are without signal, they go crazy, I don't use a signal amplifier until then,
Up to how many meters can the amplifier calmly send the voltage to the led strips?
Hi bro..can I ask you is that possible sp608e can random auto scene without click.
Yes it will run through all the different scenes on the main screen..you can control the speed as well . Thank you for stopping by and checking out the channel. I appreciate you.
how long is the led stripe if i use dc 5v 40a .. can led stripe reach 10 meters?
As someone who just got into this shit literally today I can say easily that I’m definitely intimidated by all the wiring and shit. Nonetheless I think I might give it a try….
I’m trying to go for a led slatted wall project for my gaming room
I built a better systems myself. And it has better interface programs. Hope u didn't pay more then $70.00 for that set up?
Thanks for stopping by and leaving some feedback. It's a 45 dollar controller so I guess its good by your standards 😏. I would love to see your 70 dollar build, noticed you don't have any video's posted.
