Can we take some time to appreciate how much this man helped us because we were dumb and couldnt find anything helpful about this so Thanks and I subbed
Literally my situation
make no mistake. he didnt do this for us. he fid it for financial gain. purely selfish but also human nature and normal behavior. i do it in my own ways as well as everyone else
Where can you get the connections
Yes, i tought i just lost my money . Keep up the good work

Thanks for the video, I keep seeing people post up videos showing them adding lights but they always skip the important parts that you covered (like splicing and unlighted areas between lights, unless it’s a very small unlighted area).
Thank you so much! Finally an easy to understand video! I'm still in the dark though about what to do for corners on a plane surface beacause I'm not trying to elongate a strip, but use the same strip to gou around items well.
i think you can use the L shape connector
Exactly what I was looking for!
Very good video, explained everything perfectly. Been searching and searching for something like this. There's not enough information out there on this. Well done and thanks
Thanks! very informative, well explained, and easy to understand !!!!
A year on and this video is still informative. Can you please do another video showing us how to make the 3 point power from one power source. Thank you
Thanks dude super useful and you simplified it perfectly for me. Many videos just rush through and expect you to understand the process straight away. Greetings from South Africa!!
thanks! very informative and helpful
Solid info, very helpful. ✊🏼
Thanks, perfect video and detailed.
Thanks. This helped me with a project.
cheers!
Thats really a impressive video.
Please keep posting on tiny but complex day to day household electronics problem solving
Take Love man
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much
You cleared all my doubts......👍🏻
Good Video, i like that you shared the steps in order. I do want to ask if you can demo what is the correct way to design and setup multiple strips going to one receiver? controller? and power source what wire is typically used for power? How do you know if there is a maximum meters distance for each LED strips to match to a receiver ? Like for example every 30 feet of LED strips must go to a receiver? then from receiver goes into the wall? or hardwired into a swtich? How would a setup like that work
I watched 3 other videos like this but on yours you show exactly how the pins slot in and it finally worked, so thank you for the detailed explanation and zoomed in shots 👍🏻
Hello, how do you make the connection when you need to do "injections" on a longer run, say 15 meters or 3 strips? I know you run wire from the power supply to somewhere in the middle of the run, do we make a cut and use solderless connector to snap in the wire to add power to the middle? Thanks much
thank u very much for this video. do you have links to the lights and connectors?
Hi . Just watched your vid. There was no info with all my connectors but at least someone made the effort thanks. Shame you couldn't show the connector that connects wire to strip, i got the wires to go in the one side and clamped it closed but the side that is for the strip looks to have spikes but i couldnt get it to work . I had a couple of tries with the one that came in my kit and gave up . I may try soldering wires to the strip in a couple of places . I just thought i would ask your thoughts about putting a blob of hot glue over the strip at those slide in connections after doing the various assembly checks. Hope to hear from you. Rgds Don
Could you tell me the brand of LED strips you got that works with the extension cable you have?
Perfect 👌 thats what i need
Thankyou for this ☺️☺️
Hi There, thanks for your great video. I used connectors to repair the lights but they didn't work. I aligned colors and 12v properly, that's not an issue but somehow it doesn't work. Any idea? Thanks in advance....
Can you do a video on how to add battery pack. I don’t have an outlet in the location I want the lights..
Hi! I have a bionic led strip light set. Can I attach an extension to the power strip so I don't have to run the lights outside of my case? Thanks
I have a question, i may use power of the light ( decrease ) if i use long extension ?
You just earned a sub 👍
Great job!!!!mates
hellooo im a newbie at rgb led
Can i know is there a way to connect 4×5m led strip together
can I use the rgb splitter on the light strip itself? like lets say the power supply is at one end, and at the other I want to split the strip to go 2 ways. i mean basically join 3 light strips.. can I do that? will it work?
Thank you very informative but I purchased Minger RGB strip lights did what you said but it didn’t work. I contacted the manufacturer and they stated the Minger lights cannot be extended. How do I know if a strip light is extendable or not without buying it testing it and hope. I’ve lost a lot of money as the manufacturer never advertises if their product is extendable.
Can we use 3 amp adapater to connect with single strip ?
Hey! The second led strip which is not directly connected to the power supply is relatively less brighter why so?
I am wondering if I can use T Cinnector do the make these are they appropriate
I am trying to put an LED strip under a marble kitchen counter but they won't stick to it. Is it possible to lay down a strip of painters tape or some other tape on the surface and then stick the LED strip to that? THanks!
I'm trying to wrap an 8ft piece of pvc piping with 4 strips of led. The piping fits inside a clear tube that a cylinder shaped usb battery will fit. The problem is that there is only one 1 usb slot and i need to connect all 4 strips. Any ideas on how to connect all 4 strips or perhaps should i get a long strip, and wrap the tube accordingly?
From where you got those connector i mean what does it called
Hello! Can it be used outdoors??? Happy Holidays and Thank you.
very helpful video
Do you know how to fix your leds when you broke the part that connects to the power supply?
What I would like to see is little white connectors that connect strips at an angle, say 90°. It's for modelling purposes, so lengthy strands of connecting wire won't work.
Will the adapter have any problem if I connect 3 strips together on a single adapter?
What did u use to connect the two Strip together
Hello, can I connect the end of a cable to a different cable which is connected to the outlet?
Life saver!! What size heat shrink are you using?
I use 2mm diameter heat shrink one, for some places, its 1mm. It’s basically whatever smallest fit
Hi, is there a way to connect #1 LED to #2 LED with a power switch in between?
When cutting the copper and connecting them to an adapter, do you have to strip the plastic before you connect it to the adapter?
Which plastic? You must strip tape cover, peel off the glue and peel of front protective foil.
Thank you
cheers!
I have a cob 2 wire and want to connect it to a controller with 3 pins, is there any way to be able to connect it? Please help me
Hi!
I cut of my led strip and the end half is a little bit dimmer and my red is not coming on.thx
what is the brand for the 60 LEDs/m???
Can I use a connector and connect it to a 5pin to connect to a controller?
what’s the thing you used at 2:00? i’d like to buy one
how do yo u calculate how much power you need for x amount of lights? how do you know how many watts you need for the power source?
Heat shrink, great idea!
But wont it effect the controller? More led strips draws more current and the controller just isn't made to hold that much current..... Correct me if I'm wrong
What’s the name of the connector 8.15 please please thanks
This is very helpful. One question: can the LED strips between extensions be different colours? Like a blue strip ----> extension -----> pink strip -----> extension -----> purple strip sort of thing?
What's the max you can connect. Meaning how long of a run?
I'm doing this with the sticky ones but its hard to put them in because the hole is too small. Any advice? Thanks!
That’s what she said
4:03 what is that thing called that you use to connect the two strips and where can I buy it?
Wondering the same thing
@@threetreesredfieldwithpath2120 Yeah I found out what they’re called. Just search up “ Led strip connectors adapters”. You should find them
You can also find them with this key term “straight RGB connectors” if you need L shape, or T shape use different keywords
Sometimes its called connection clamp … online just look for led connection sets … amazon got plenty.
I have a rgb led strip of 6 led in one pair and 1 ic . There is 1 vcc 1gnd one side dn and another one din . I cutted one strip when i give +- to strip all leds glow constant they dont blink.when i give +- to another roll of strip all lights glow and blink.
Sir tell me plaese how i blink them only in one pair .dn and din connection .
Pls tell sir .
i dont quite understand what you mean, if you're still having issues, you can contact me through youtube email (in about section of the channel), and you can provide photos if needed.
hello sir, where can i find that snap connectors? is it available in hardware or in motor shops?
amazon
where do you get the little connectors for the first one online
KkkkSss
In the last example to make a non soldering g connection, what is the name of those small yellow tubes that you connect to the RGB wires? I couldn't quite catch what you called them.
I'm in the comments for the same question!
Just found it... Heat shrink!
Bro I have multiple rgb stript when I connect with each other it's gets dimmer can you tell me what the solution
Mine connector only have 2pin inside any help as to how I connect it ???
How many strips of 5 meters i can connect together so that they will light property ????????? Please help me..i have bought 7 of them
I was struggling with strip to wire connectors and the shrinking tube connection seems to be a great solution. Do you have a video on how to connect the pin connectors to the wire with the shrinking tube?
Glad to hear that, as for pin connectors to wires, A) if you have another pin connector, join that to the wire side using heat shrink and using 4pin connector, connect those two
Or B) you can just cut the pin connector side and now you’ll be left with wire. Now just gotta connect wire to wire using heat shrink as well.
@@C2Tech when you heat shrink wire to pin do you find it easier to do one wire/pin at a time or all of them at the same time?
I’ve tried both ways, I found that doing all 4 together is most efficient, because if doing 1by1 sometimes some wire loosen up again. So just line up everything and heat all if them at the same time, they’ll be receiving equal amount of heat also that way.
How much is this kind and from where? Can you post a link so we can buy it. Please
I have combined both of them but the right one doesn't light up is there any way to fix it?
Make sure the two arrows where the 4pins join are pointing each other.
I guess that when you say “split” in the last type of connection, you refer to parallel connection of LED strips, isn’t it? I need to place my controller in the middle of two LED branches: one to the left and the other to the right; do I just only need to solder the second branch just after the controller, isn’t it?
Yes that’s right parallel
Can i connect 3 5m led strips in 1 line? To make it become 15m ??
thanks
Great idea with shrink tubing on the connector.
where do i find the rgb splitter 1 to 2 or 3
ebay or amazon should have them plenty
What's the real name for that rgb connector it doesn't show on takealot
How many strips of LED can you connect together on one power supply?
you can connect as many as you want as long as the voltage is correct. unless you are plugging it in with a usb cable you can do as many as you want
Dude great video
I want to buy these materials to joint strip led light for Christmas
How do you do it without connectors or a soldering iron? 🤔
How a 12v power supply can light up rest of the leds. If I divide the voltage it will drop significantly on the rest of the led. Your presentation is good but it’s incomplete without voltage distribution. Though thanks for rest of the part.
i have a pin side and a exposed copper side. How do i connect these?
You can either do similar to 6:00 of the video if you have the materials, or
Option B) for exposed copper side, get a straight connector and join it. For the other side of connector, get a 4 pin wire (using heat shrink) and connect to it (similar to 6:00) of the video.
Now for the PIN SIDE, cut the pin, you’ll end up with 4 wires, connect these 4 wires with the other 4 wires that we just connected with heat shrinks.
Lmk if it help. For diagram explanation or alternatives, pls contact me via RUclips email contact, in About Me section.
Where can i find the adaptet
When you move a part up to the camera to show details, your camera is out of focus, when trying to show detail.
Links for items please
I don’t have 4 pin can I buy it separately
yes, you can buy them separately, for 10 pieces its like a few dollars, very cheap.
Thank you this helped a lot I just got LED lights and was struggling to turn them on so thanks lol
im glad to hear that :)
I have one led light connected on my wall and another brand new one unused. How do I connect the new one to the one on the wall? Do I cut the new one and use a white connector?
I cut the main 4 pin connector off the 2nd spool of LEDS thinking I could use the small clear connectors to connect them all to my main spool already plugged into the main power box. I think I messed it up😩😭
But what if I have only 2 wire only pls help me
Still have no idea how you have used the heat shrink
Bro I have a big dout, how can I contact you
What strips do u use
I used 5050LED RGB strips
Where you can buy pins what they call in online shop
4-pin RGB connector
@@C2Tech thanks
2:57 4 pin is 11mm or 9mm?
Happy new year everyone! I've been taking some personal time off of youtube. Sorry, I haven't been checking any comments lately. But now I am back :)
i have 4 pin 5mm lights can i use the 10mm connectors?
Where the hell do I get these adapters?
What about 144 led strips
