Tutorial 2: Flame Effects with LED Strips

- In this video I show you how to make flickering candle lights into larger flame effects. All you need is a candle led light, some strip LEDs and a power supply! No microprocessors and no fuss!

Wow 🎉 this is such an amazing hack. The flickering effect is already programmed. This is great. Thank you!❤
So smart! I think it could work for any type of “specialized” light thing, which is super nifty!
Cool trick!
very clever! thanks!
I"m going to try it!
Amazing idea!, Trying to figure out how I could change the color of the LED strip now instead of just hard wiring to red or other colors.
BRILLIANT!! This is exactly the type of thing I've been looking for!! Hahaa!!! Now I just need to figure how to wire it so that it provides just enough power to the red and green terminals that they make orange...! Hmm...! +_____+
Is that flickering yellow diode you used have a resister so that 9v doesnt blow it out?
Nice Sis Keep It Up
Nice
This is a great hack, but lets say i'm using quite a long strip of LEDs. If I put on a larger output source, wont it burn out the flicker LED?
You shouldn't need to increase the power unless you've made a mistake in the wiring. A 12v LED string can be several meters long and still only require 12v, though the battery life may be shorter.
@@GlendonG But what about burning out the flickering LED using just the 12v source? Wouldn't that happen in this instance since the flickering LED uses a much lower voltage?
Hmm... you may have a point there, but I believe that the 12v strip would draw all the power it needs and the single light would essentially get what’s ‘left over’.
That’s better asked of someone better qualified in electronics than I.
I thought the same until she said there'd be 10v left for the strip after the flicker LED, so then I became confused. I'm about 10 levels below where a novice would be when it comes to electronics lol
@@GlendonG Not actually true. There is a lot more to it: ask any idiot that has messed with mechanical vape mods. And yes, I know technically vapes use PWM to cope with the high draw, but remember they are the same as a professional camera flash.
What you are suggesting might be too much pull due to the added resistance. That means the cells will get VERY hot.
And don't put yourself down. This lady is also a novice. For instance the batteries are L1131. These are more akin to say a 1.5v AAA battery. They are likely to be LR54 as they are the most common. The lady in the video did not know this because like you, she is simply someone learning and sharing what she has learned so far. That is commendable.
But I would say be careful with batteries as when they go over their thermal threshold they do a thing called venting. That is when nasty burny time occurs. So always be sure you understand ohms law and understand what you are doing. With LEDs being low power it will never really be a problem. But be aware that the battery pack may get hot after a while, it has nothing to do with the vaults but the Amp.
volts are volts and something doesn't use them so the next one has "what's left". That is down to the capacity of a battery or MilliAmp Per Hour. MAh is how it is termed. You will have seen this when people talk about phones. And technically I am wrong with saying that as it depends on what type of circuit it is as to whether or not it needs more voltage, even then in lighting you would perhaps use capacitors to help distribute the power cleanly.
Sorry for the essay. If you want to learn about electronics and have a smile and a laugh I suggest you all check out Big Clive. He is a legend in the industry having been the electrician doing the practical effects on things such as Doctor Who. Lovely Scottish man.
To run reliably on 12v, these flicker LED's should have a 510ohm 1/4watt metal film resistor soldered to the positive leg. Or better yet. Just order these that already have this preinstalled>

I shall use it next year mwhahahah
Send all the pics!!!
