Love the LED installation. I’m glad to see there isn’t much of the 50Hz cycling coming through to the camera, I’ll have to make use of this! Very helpful.
WOW, Great ideas from Unibox. This system could have so many uses and it's so versatile. I think retailers will "snap this up" pun intended. I hope they have patented the system. They could sell these direct to business. There's very little technical knowledge needed to cut and solder some wire and track. But they could always call in an Electrician if they aren't confident of their skills. Thanks guys for showing us this.
Some Antistatic straps supplied by certain cheaper online suppliers do not have the 1Mohm resister always check leads with your multimeter otherwise you may get a shocking surprise!!
Leaded solder is still available and can be purchased online, but for many applications, Lead free is fine with a good soldering iron. I’d say it’s more important to have flux when soldering to ensure each joint is sufficient!
@@efixx Sorry for the delay replying. I still prefer leaded because it's proven and ... honestly, i'm not given to eating electronics. But it's a mix of both, I have a stash of several 5kg rolls from an electronics manufacturer who threw it in a skip when RoHS came in!! (and it's still available even from RS and CPC etc). My main issue with lead free for general work, is the high temps required can damage insulation and substrates if you don't have perfect control of your environment. At a workbench is one thing, crouched under a kitchen cabinet trying to add on the segment the customer JUST decided needed to be lit up... is another. LOL
Love the track system.. will come in handy when im doing exhibitions .. not sure id trust it in a retail environment, only for the sake of shop staff moving shelves and clipping the plugs on the wrong way
Lots of it being used in retail environment already. Unibox also make linear shelf lights that work +/- and -/+ to go with the connector and track system, negating that being a problem.. Thanks for the comments.👍
Thanks for the reply Nick, i guess by adding a rectifier to the magnetic plug would negate that problem and also lengthen the life of the LED tape due to the slightly lower forward voltage, any plans of releasing a flexible joint connector? i'll certainly be in touch when the pandemic is over, i can see this saving me a lot of time on certain jobs
@@nickwraith312 Great to see you are still around Nick, You were a pleasure to deal with and a straight guy. That comment could cost you a brew one day !
If a metal object was to touch that "bus bar" wouldn't it short the transformer? Even if it's low voltage I'd feel unsafe leaving that flat bus bar uncovered.. Of course I may be wrong. What's your opinion on this? What does the manufacturer has say about it?
This system is for use with a constant voltage LED driver. Most of them are short circuit protected. This type of approach isn’t new - exposed wire halogen lighting systems used to be quite popular.

Another great video production from the waldorf and statler, of the electrical world..............;)
Keep em coming great set of videos on LED tape.
Great show
Son muy buenos 👍. Enhorabuena Hace tiempo que os sigo. Un saludo de un Instalador Eléctrico de España.
Great vidlo
Great video. But i’ve just noticed from 14:26 you are also on your tv in background. Keep up good work.

Wise words - thanks 🙏
Ouch that's evil! thank you for the tip!
Brilliant
Just need to get rid of the wires now!
Let us know when you’ve perfected the new wireless system Phil - hope you are well Cheers Gordon
@@efixx @fmarksimon and I did for a client while at LAPD. Client didn't want to invest the required capital. All good thanks! Stay safe Phil
Hush, you'll put us out of a job
Nice soldering skills... Do you use lead free? I personally prefer leaded solder :O being a naughty old person
We only use Lead free - can you still get lead or have you kept a secret stash?

And yes as Ed's studio workshop said above, in most cases, lead free is fine and preferred for standards compliance. I am just old

Torchy Hi. Lots of new products in the pipeline. I’ll send you a konnekt hive sample kit if you’d like one.
And customers nicking the lights lol
Nick, that would be great thanks
Can you give information about the OSRAM LED strip used on this video? Where do you buy it?
We use Pennelcom - www.pennelcomonline.com/Mobile/en/LED/m-c-840.aspx
Thats a lot of money and work just to install this
Is Nick Wraith at Manchester of United Aluminum LTD ? I only ask as I did some work at there previous premises near Newton Heath, nice guy.
The very same 👍
See Nick in action in this video - ruclips.net/video/41XkyiD7hiE/видео.html
Oyley Hands very nice of you to say that. We moved to Middleton 8 years ago. Call in and say Hi one day.

A lighting system that doesn't require an electrician to alter/modify? Not sure I would want to encourge that idea
My thoughts exactly but you know the customer will still bugger it up somehow :)
