exactly the video I was looking for! Thnk you so much :)
this is the video is looking for... Thank you
Thanks for the information 👍🏽
Thank you for sharing.
It seems that the LED are connected in Parallel, hence LED Strip can be cut for shorter length.
Voltage need not Change but how about Current?
Will Current need to be increased to meet longer LED Strip?
I have a 5V 1A adapter for the USB
Cutting the isolation of the cable with the multi tool a true horror for an electrician
Nice but you could also solder a USB connector onto the strip ;)
use ohms laws to determine. Your working with 5 volt DC so you just use those formulas. Paying attention to current( i ) . Some chargers (laptop blocks) go as high as i=3.64 (likely a apple laptop re block) while most are i=0.8 or i= 1.0 A being standard..
Some of the questions being asked here, (MOST) tell me you should not be playing with pwr supplys. The blocks that come with usb led kits like monster are not the same as cell blocks. they have much more wattage, which one could say, is a measure of current and voltaGE potential. 5v at 0.8a is not the same as 5v at 2A. The latter can be up to almost 3 times more in capability.
what if the charger brick's volt and strip's volt doesn't match?
Let me try this then I'll feedback..nice work bro
how'd it go?
and he never gave the feedback
poor guy
Hahaha
Died of electrocution😢
I've an LED strip of 12v ... can an adaptor of 18v can be used?
Hi does it have a limit for the led strip? how long is the maximum? thanks
Depends on the wattage of the adaptor (e.g. if it's 20w it should do 5ft)
Adapter direct plugged on switch board?
5v pa work kara gi?
Sir 5v led strip ki link milegi for purchase
Can a wire have more than more colour wires ? Or it has to be a wire with only red and black inside ?
yes it is for data transfer it will not affect anything in this case . only connect red and black
Thx bro I bougth battery led lights and they didn't last long
stoners already having the wire wya
Yessssirrr😭
What did he use to glue the wire??
Da certo na de 4 pinos rgb?
Does it work?
Incredibil thxx u șso muchhhh
Mine is not working although I have adapter attached to my lights to control the voltage.. should I remove and try?
Yes you should. Currently as I understand it seems like you have two adapters one the usb one, and one controlling adapter for the voltage. They interfer with each other.
how if i use green, white, orange, blue usb.
is that same phenomenon can be used with 12v light??
So just solder the wire to the strip and plug the usb in for it to turn on?
Waiting for reply
Yes
I have tried that over and over again and doesn’t work for me.
Chalu bhi karke dikhe dete ji to achha lagta
Can you solder a USB wire to a single PICO LED and attached it to a phone charger or will it burnout?
Haha. Try. The light may broke.
not the best soldering but thanks for tutorial :D
my led lights that i cut have 4 copper connector things labeled 24v+, B, R, and G. How would I do this?
If you just hooked power up to one or more of those primary colors Blue, Red, Green then it would only shine that color at full brightness. You could also power multiple colors with a short length of jumper wire to make secondary colors, or all 3 for white light. To have full control of your multi-colored lights, you would need a controller, or a computer that sends variable signal strength to tell the 3 colors how bright to shine at the same time to produce the full rainbow.
Hi. I have 1 meter of that warm led light. I want to cut and reduce its length like 3-5 lights. So it should be like 3inches. Will it work? Same 5v connector?
It should work yes, but I don't really know how to make the calculations. For small length it will work.
@@BojanSekulovski thank you so much.
Sir my charger wire have red and a green wires which is +&-
Well idk man if you have multimeter plug usb in the adapter and in the wall then set multimeter to volts and put red fork on red wire and black fork on green wire. If it shows +5 volts then red is + green - and if it shows -5 volts its the other way arround.
But it "should" be red + green -
Can you connect lights to USB on the back of a flat screen TV on wall
You should be able to
Yes
In the video it shows light strips that require 5V DC to work. Are there any light strips that work with 12V DC?
Anyone know? Please confirm THANK YOU.
Yes there are. Search Aliexpress and Ebay
Add a resistor.
How volt was the charger you used?
5V
What if I have a white and red wire does that still work???????
Most probably the white one is - and the red is +. Should work.
Can I tape em?
No, you have to use tin.
I bought 1 meter legth led strip and tested with 2 wires +&- on my battery but when connected to usb Nothing works at all,i destroy 4 Usb canle 😭
Same with me. Any solution ?
I know this is old but you need to use a 5 volt led strip. It won't work with a 12volt strip.
what about 5pin LEDs?
5 pin LEDs use the extra pins to control the color/patterns. If you only use the ground and power pins it should just be stuck on white constantly. Or it might not work at all depending on the design/brand
How do you change the colour afterwords
If you want rgb led, you need more than that. This video teaches about a single color led strip, which has only + - pins. Rgb has 4 pins
I want to connect led lights to my monitor but I don’t have USB ports anywhere on my monitor. What do I do
Dhon chuso dhon
What if u don’t have that kind of glue at your house what can u use?
You have to use that one... Strong bond needed..
*Solder
If u don't have glue. You can spit on it.
Its not glue its solder, it fuses the wire so power runs to the metal
@@strangestanger6305 just use a rice
Hi, does this void my warranty if it causes my house to burn down?
Some my led lights connected to the phone charger Box it's still not turning on and to plugged up to the back of my TV and it's still not turing on what do I do About this problem
*so*
@@jamesdelaware9565 you probably have 12v leds. usb delivers only 5v
Will this work if my usb plug is au
Yes
What about RGB strip?
Then you should use a switch
switch like? can you do another video for rbg?
I used the default power adaptor (power supply) given by company but it got short as I switched on. Is there a fault in led strip? And can i use USB for 5mtrs of LED strip?
I don't really think you can work USB or USB charger to supply 5m of LED
I think the charger he used may have of more volt, right??
Can i connect strip led light to any old mobile a charger is it safe?
Yes, try, if it is not working, than you need a charger of 9 or 12 volts. The simple LED strips like the one on the video work on 5v without problems.
@@BojanSekulovski thanx for ur suggestion , but one more issue when i cut my charger's wire i see that there are both black colour wire now how do i identify which one is positive and negative ??
@@luckykaushik2473 Try Once with both if it works good if not then change poles
@@HarshHit is it safe while i trying both poles for checking ? What if my strips get short circuit .
Sir my led light in more than 2 meter and its not at all working by this way what's the problem
Check if your lights line works with only 12V and phone charger is weak for more than 2m
Will this work on 12v led lights?
I tried and exploded lol
@@zangijetia2807 damn ggs mate.. 😂
@@enimzx 😅
they wont work, they need more power
My strip says 24 v on it ?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Any limit on the length of LED strip?
Hi! Yes. It depends on the current consumption of your led strip. An average usb can handle around 500-1000 mA (for example a tv usb if it is not a special power port maybe only 500mA). But if you use a powerbrick it can handle from 1A to 3A or more. But you need to look at the datasheet on the brick.
@@balazsszegedi5524 I will take a led strip bluetooth with usb.It's 5 meters. Can I put it on my phone charger?
Bro it us not working in use data cable but when i connect with a 9volt battery it working. So bro can you told me that why this is happened?
The led strip is not working with 5V, you need 9V or 12V adapter.
This method is not proof as some led strips' driving voltage can be 8V or greater. So in short the minimum voltage to be given is 8V, otherwise, the circuit may not operate. This method is applicable when the driving voltage is 5V or less.
Just for fun. But you are right and correct!
Not working. 12 v led strip and samsung charger output 5.0=1.0A . Plz help
5.0v=1.0A
step up converter is probably the missing piece
If your LED strip is 12v, you need a 12v charger. It won't work with a 5v charger.
But how do i control the colour of the strips?
You have RGB strip with more colors?
@@BojanSekulovski yes, a multi colour one with 4 wires.
@@singhbrahamdeep the negative goes to "-" and the positive to one of the R or G or B as you want.
Thank you so much. I will give it a try and let you know.
@@singhbrahamdeep soooo?
You might get more subs not playing that noise in your video.just advise.take it or leave it.
Different times.. I should have talked than, but it is what it is :)
If its blue and red what to do?
Most probably blue is - and red +. Try them on the linghts for a second like that.
Question: Just how useful is an instructional video WITHOUT verbal instructions?
I tought that written instructions will work beter on this video.
Not everyone has hearing; you can't please everyone. OP took time out of their day to make a video that is freely available to watch! Many people have found this video helpful. There is no reason to be so negative about something freely offered
Not working on 12 v led
Yes, it only works on 5v led lights strip
I dont understand
Can I just tape it? Cause I don't have these YAAY OH MA GAAAAWD SO SCARY tools.
No. Harbor freight sells them for a couple $$ its worth having
You mean soldering kit? XD
yeah bra tape does the same thing
Try, but it will fail instantly :)
funny... my usb cable only has white, red, green and silver/clean
Silver/clean would be your ground (black in this video)
O o ionii
hum not working for me ... weird
Maybe the led strip is more than 5V
It's fake usb port don't have sufficient power to light such led stripes
Jesus a lesson in how not to solder… rubbish
This is not a video on how to solder.. Thanks!
@@BojanSekulovski no its not but your doing a professional install so why do you not want the finished result to include a good standard of soldering also? Thanks
@@tazmaniachill Because I am recording to show my viewers what can they do. I am watching at the camera and many other things in meantime :)
What a poor response, i just hope your viewers don't follow your example and emulate your soldering skills, you would get more respect from the community if you at least looked at a decent soldering technique, your building a definite failure factor. Be lucky 👍🏻
@@tazmaniachill I can say that you are correct that maybe I should have soldered it with a better technique and make it look better, but after all I feel that you want to hate.. Sorry for sharing my experience on youtube!
