Cant fault those tools and tool bag for the apprentice fair play to super rod 👏🏻
Im an adult trainee in my 3rd year and JTL sent us the same bags and tools, excellent kit and hundreds of pounds to buy, just what every up coming spark needs, look after it lad 👍🏼
Should've got James to do the hoovering at the start of the job, he wouldn't have needed the step ladder 😃
Very nice mate, just finishing a similar kitchen job. Really like that brick wall and led tape. 👌
I love lighting stuff with LED´s ! So much stuff you can use them for.
LED strips installation look great! Very neat driver / kinetic installation in the island cupboard 😀👍👌
8:10 - You can get clear cover instead of frosted diffuser, as it can help to keep LED strip clean and maintain lifespan as well I guess? 👍🙂
Your apprentice is very lucky! We got FA bought.... had to buy all own tools and still doing it 30 years later .
Looking great those LEDs. I'd imagine that as they come from a reputable company they have real 3M tape on the back...otherwise like all the cheaper ones those island tapes would be on the floor by morning! Super nice of Super Rod to give James the tool bag. 👍
Great job mate evan more important you admitted you made a mistake, which shows you are an honest person. Great video, stay safe guys.
Wish matey who I done my apprenticeship was as sound as you , the bloke didn’t speak to me for the first 2 years 😂😂
The sparky I was teamed up with a bit like that ,but we had worse on the firm they used to knock the apprentice's about!
It depends on the age of the bloke who is training you i had similar when I was an apprentice refer in the early 2000's mostly it has disappeared now you still get the odd arsehole but The way I see it is if the apprentice is willing to learn why treat them like a cunt just because someone did it to you yeah have a laugh and a bit of banter but don't take it too far
@@robgraham1204 i was talking about late 60s early 70s , revenge is a dish best served cold, and I saved it for a particular a hole who had given me a hard time .I was out of my time and on his job he kept asking for my opinion on things, I tried to be helpful by saying its your job you tell me! Serves him right.
a lot of that electricians ''qualified'' are wankers useles and they somehow got jobs - still pretend they know whot they doing
19:32, '...you can give yourself an epileptic-fit...", I'm creased up, laughing at your patter, Thank you Chris, you just made my day !!!
Nice bag and tools. Good of you to give it to your apprentice. I’m sure he’ll let you use some of the tools.
Howdens cupboards - backs to the wall, Kutchenhaus wall cupboards come with LED lights built into the underside as standard.
Have à look at the Osram LED profiles , basically the same as you did there, but you can get them any length premade
Just had this with our new kitchen awesome lights and Alexa controls
Top job bud. What a great invention the Quinetic is and so affordable I use it quite often for things like this.
You can just about drill the solid timber on the backs of the cupboards with a skinny drill bit. Love the work mate I need to get on to prs supplies 👍
With the led under the breakfast bar I tend to use mitre fast adhesive spray and glue the tape will never come unstuck only a issue if the tapes faulty . Great for surfaces that are not 3M friendly
Thanks for the video. Love the colour changing LED's but I don't think I'd want them in the kitchen perhaps a bedroom but obviously, that's the customers choice. the cupboard lights through look awesome.
Fair play to super rod for giving a tool bag to young James I think I even saw a hint of a smile. :-) He's a good lad though, it's so hard to find good apprentices these days the youngsters don't seem to have the work ethic of us old-timers but he's golden one to hang on to.
These videos must take ages to edit so thanks again for your time.
Hey that’s great, what a proud moment for an apprentice to get his own tools. 👍
You're so good to James ;) Hat off to you.
I'm sure many going through their apprenticeship, including myself, never had it as good :)
Shame I can't work with someone as experienced as you. I seem to find you do a wide range of electrics as I lack in experience. Love your videos.
You good job 😃. Well done for taking on an apprentice 👍
I’m planning to refit my kitchen soon - after watching this, I think you’ve just cost me a couple of hundred quid more for LEDs!! Looking cool 😎
Cracking job Chris! Looks mint!👌🏻
Always test your LED tape before installation! :)
Those Klein tools kits are great, got one when I started my apprenticeship. Nice target for theives, some bastard nicked my cutters in the first month
Great video Chris! Keep up the great work.
Great LED installation. Quick question, on the cupboards, do you secure the PSU and driver electronics or leave them loose?
hey chris, i believe you've got the knipex in both the 8601 (grey) and 8603 (chrome). the handles are different between them, which one do you prefer and is one less slippery than the other?
Fair play for doing that for James, makes a change from seeing them abused lol 😆😝😄
It is possible to get the strip all the way to the ends (or closer, anyway) of the profile under the cupboards, but it's fiddly. Rather than having the cable attached to the end (with that massive heatshrink tail), you can run it down the profile and solder on to the strip at the mid-point. Obviously it needs the sheath off and some care around the entry, which is why it's a pain. Not a big issue when you can't see the profile directly.
Big run at the top looks good - actually better not going to the ends there IMO, I don't think it'd look as nice with a strong reflection off the painted wall.
Stay away from that double gang socket on island Chris 👀👀 that face plates begging to be scratch again 🤣
Love watching the videos. Proper David Brent 😂😂
Thinking about it - red LEDs need less forward voltage than green or blue - that must be why they were the only ones that worked on the wrong driver
Makes sense, if the voltage drooped badly enough on the power supply.
How long before the strip adhesive gives up and it all drops off? Speaking from experience....yes I did clean the surfaces first...the heat softens the adhesive...
Yeah I suspected that wasn't enough output for that many LEDs, they don't use much power but not that little. Can't complain about good support though, it's such a rare thing these days..
Nice tool bag👍👍. Get the kid some type of multimeter, or duspol. You won't be able to watch over him all the time, he should have something to test the voltage, to check if he has a live wire or not. Its counterproductive for him to find out why people call us sparkys.
Nice job looks great 👍👍
Loving the veto tool bag... She's a beaut.... 😁👍... The apprentice not getting veto yet then lol.... 👍👍
5:30 you watch over the coming weeks, James will have less and less tools in his bag because you've got them all 😆😆😆
Why smaller tools in his bag? Or might you really have meant 'fewer' tools?
Why did he use the knife to cut along the tape, when opening the box, and then try to snap the tape at each end, did the blade stop working lol
Had the same problem with howdens kitchen, why they don't leave a channel in the back for cables is a mystery.
Looks great 👍
Sorry for asking but where do you het the led tape and drivers from please?
Think I would have bought a longer tape and cut it down but mighty have cost more. Nice neat job tho nice for drivers to be out the way
Would of had to mount the driver in the center and fit two lengths of tape either way
@@Cjrelectrical I'm surprised that they don't have a splice for connecting tapes in series. Since you can trim the tapes to length, you should be able to extend them also.
You are a top bloke mate, well played.
Is the quinetic reciever not built in with a fuse ?
love it, dont have one of those. ill be having that gecko
When we had our extension they forgot to lay wire a switch wire for our LED strip in the 1st fix. So have the strip and a Feed but no switch. Do you think this wireless setup would work?
Loving these videos. That extension turned out mint!
Yep quinetic will be your switch
🥱
Quality work as always keep up the hard work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
Well done 👍 nice neat work 👍
Ahhh my alexa started speaking when you said it lol
Why the gap at the driver end?
Chris can you please adjust your title videos after this, im currently starting to watch your older video's but its giving me a hard time to find which videos is the first for that certain job. Thanks for the knowledge you giving mate
Hi bud great job on the lighting. Could I ask where I could get them? Thanks steve
I heard a name like LumanixLED or something, but would be great if we could get a parts list!
I hope those tools don't stay shiny for long! 🤣👍
Hi Chris, would you mind sending me a link for the led strips/drivers/batterns please as I’m interested in this sort of idea when I have a new kitchen next year hopefully. Many thanks and keep up the good work
www.lumiledltd.co.uk/
Who did you get the 2m channels and led strips from? Doh! Should have kept watching instead of asking!
Would you not be afraid of the driver overheating where you’ve jammed it down into that isolated board ?
What brand of LED do you normally use
If you had used AllLED they do RGB up to ten meters on one driver and would have filled the entire length. That looks a bit crap tbh.
Cool video! Out of interest, what do you recommend or think is the right kelvin for downlights and LEDs? Lots of people say cool white at 4000K is appropriate for open plan kitchens, but I've noticed some suggest warm white 3000. What typically makes the kitchen look more modern and sleek especially with a shaker style kitchen like in the video?
3k warm white kitchens
4K bathrooms and toilets
@@Cjrelectrical thanks for the reply. Any particular reason why you recommend warm white for kitchen? If the flooring is gloss white and worktops at gloss white, wouldn’t it make the place seem a bit yellow? Sorry for the questions, just keen to understand how an experienced electrician views things...
No your be surprised how a 3k works compared to a 4-5k white which feels cold
@@Cjrelectrical thanks! Would you recommend 3k for a hallway and landing too?
Yep
2035: Apprentice: "What's that?" Electrician: "Oh that dusty old thing? Multi-coloured LED tape - was all the rage back in 2020. You come across it in all the time ... most of it hasn't worked for a decade or more and the home owners can't be bothered."
The LED-tape will probably work for a long time, but I wonder how that app colour control will age. I suspect people will have a semi-functional old phone or tablet laying around just to control those LEDs because the app hasn't worked on newer phones for years anymore. Maybe a 2.4GHz accespoint as well since Wifi technology will probably move on beyond that as well, if we'll even still have Wifi and home internet connections now that 5G supports speeds faster than most people have at home.
Stupidest thing I ever encountered were unswitched light sockets that were intended to use with remote controlled CFL lamps. Those lamps cost a fortune while burning out in a matter of months, got out of sync constantly, randomly switched on or off when a kid was playing with an RC toy nearby, and became obsolete just a few years later. Of course this system was used in multiple rooms all on 1 mixed circuit shared with bedroom wall sockets.
@@Candisa iirc, you can also often get IR Controllers for a lot of these LED lights, rather than using the "internet of things" adapters for controlling them.
Give me wired switches and lamps any day.
@@neil_down_south In my own house I just brought every circuit of light and every control position back to the box (even split up a downlight circuit that functions as one in case I want to split it up in the future) and use modular teleruptors/timers/dimmers on everything, no 12/24V stuff.
Also ran everything in 2.5mm² and brought neutrals in all controlboxes so I can replace or expand every control point with a socket should I ever want a socket on switch-height without damaging anything or running new wires.
@@Candisa you did that yourself!? 'spect!
unsecure app controlled LED lights are just the best. Gotta love IoT.
These are local network devices. unless your in the network, they wont do anything. that's how i have mine setup atleast.
Nice but would annoy me leds don’t go right to the end of the wall
500 quid too. Philips Hue you could stick an extra 0 on! Hue strips you can cut to length though so not miss that last 12".
James: I'll be in my bunk... ;)
Nice surprise 👍
I need to get hold of the led strip/ controller can you let me know where its from
What a great thing to do. He’s ruined. Fair play to you and all concerned. 😀
so true
Nice gift for james 👍 how many times can you mention your knee 😄 stay safe.
Did you know I’ve got a bad knee ? 👍
@@Cjrelectrical funny that i think you hinted it a few 10000 times 🤣
Why not go for 230v ?
if hidden behind facia board,why did you need the profile? couldn't you have just stuck the led strips down?
Doesn’t stick well on rough wood
Also using the profile dissipates the heat from the LEDs, adds a bit of longevity.
How much kit of led both
I'm thinking James wanted to unpack his own brand new tool bag... Didn't get a bloody chance 😂😂😂
Shame James never said a big thank you
Your german’s really good ☺️
9:14 I would have used some double sided tape to secure the profile to the wood, that way, it doesn't move when the client dusts up there...
No heat dissipation on wood though.
@@Cjrelectrical What I meant was use the double-sided tape to secure the metal track down, then stick the LED strip to the track.
Basically, do what you did, just tape the metal down so it doesn't get dislodged later by cleaning etc.
Have you got a link to the company you used for the led stuff m8
Are you on Instagram?
The colour changing LEDs are the closest thing you'll get to a nightclub in 2020 !!
Whats that for a mat in 28:31 with logo? I think it's for your tool, so you wont destroy customers tables. Where do you get it?
Paul at PRS SUPPLIES
How much is your day rate ?
Expertly installed but rather pointless lights because they don’t really shed any light on anything.Bit poncy if you ask me 🤪
Nice
What’s an allyD light?
Is that gecko thing useful?
Lucky lad 😉👍
what a top boss :)
What van are you using ?
Vivaro
@@Cjrelectrical Cheers
ruclips.net/video/oN7HSpRkV4g/видео.html
@@Cjrelectrical nice one
6:41 James is getting good with the camera work 👍
12/24 vdc ? low or extra low voltage? 😉
I think it classes as extra low voltage
@@BenCos2018 Not like you to get that wrong...voltages were reclassified some years ago.
So those LED power supplies cannot be 'low voltage' as that would include mains voltages.
Maybe you are older than you look and have been drinking from the fountain of youth ! 😉 as low voltage from my memory used to include 12/2v volts...I in error do just the same.
@@oyleyhands1332 lol
I thought you were talking about the leds themselves xD
@@BenCos2018 Nah...you were calling the LED power supply output low voltage...which is what I would have called them when I was ...much younger and still do in error,mainly when talking to myself 😉 You are as bad as myself when it comes to buying tools,plus one for Super Rod..can't pass their stand at an Elex show.
In the US you could not stuff the driver in the wall like that.
Get the MiBoxer remote switch for them Chris. They are only a tenner and they take 2x AAA batteries. Much nicer for selecting the colour and brightness than having to get your phone out everytime.
Cheers client didn’t want the remote
Tell you whats better then getting up and going to a switch, Voice control!
not jumping into bushes anymore
2:46 you shouldn't be letting James use that alien thing, he's going to get into bad habits 😆😆😆
Ali G strip controller? 🤪
Might want to blur that cheque at 22:52
James is lucky to have a boss like you..just subscribed
Wat was the mistake?
That RGB led tape should of been stuck to the angle bead and gone all the way to the end with no gap .
Was over 5m run Scott
I agree - just that bit further from the wall would have reduced the hot spot at the bottom of the stonework. That LED strip can be extended if you're handy with a soldering iron, but having to buy another 5 metres just to use such a short piece is admittedly a pain.
Do we have to get Nick to come and sort out your van mate?
Yes please do
