Wow, I did not know that you could bend those LED strips into a 90 deg bend. I will go back and reassess my hockey playoff bracket board for these lights. As always, you make killer content Chris.
Thanks for the idea Mark! Appreciate all the good ideas your willing to share! Thanks as always for watching!!
make sure down the road when you finish the last 5% to caulk the leds in the channel, otherwise you’ll get mold underneath the strip and on top of smelling bad it could potentially damage the strips
Thanks for watching and for the tip! That's a great idea and something I would have never thought to do. Thanks buddy!
love you're branching out while staying true to your love!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! I appreciate the support Chris!
Your channel resonates with me so heavily. You might have just become my favorite youtuber within the last 2 days since I found your channel. You deserve so much more than 40k subs.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad your enjoying the videos!
Thanks buddy!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Do you have a 3D Printer? I ordered those LED channels you recommend and I'm going to measure them and try to recreate them to see if it can give a similar light diffusion. If you have a 3D printer I'll send you the link when I'm done 🤤
@@MrDubstepOCE At the moment I do not have a 3d printer. I'm trying to hold off as long as possible because I'm scared about the amount of time I might spend playing around with one lol. Do you have any recommendations for a good one if/when I eventually do get one?!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Well, I would say the thing that matters the most when considering really is how large you think you want your build plate. I only have an Ender 3. Its a very good entry level 3D printer for just a few hundred bucks that has a massive modding community behind it allowing for tons of upgrades. (Video Reference ruclips.net/video/kG_YKeJDaX8/видео.html) The build plate is 235mm x 235mm (9.25in x 9.25in) so when I attempt to make those diffusers I'm going to try a lincoln logs method where each diffuser is only 250mm (to achieve the same 1m length if wanted) but they can lock together to give whatever length you want, and would fit on any print plate. The thing that matters most with whatever printer you get is make sure to try to calibrate it to the best possible settings. Measuring and changing your E stepper, Stepper motors. Etc. Its a HUGE part of getting clean prints. And the absolutely most frustrating part of 3D printing lol
Can't leave us without the name of the song at the end too Chris, your taste in music is just as good as these DIY projects
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you like the music! Sorry it took so long to respond. But here is the song! ruclips.net/video/e-xtNt8y1Co/видео.html Its called Infinity by Nick Petrov. Thanks again buddy!!
Love the waterproofing 👌🏻
Thanks buddy!!
You are a Genius, Kind and I wish you all the best!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Lol appreciate the support my friend!
Very impressive Chris!!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Appreciate the support buddy!
Amazing Work !!!! Thank you for sharing your work, experience and giving us ideas for projects at home..
Thanks so much! You are very welcome and thanks for watching!
beautiful and creative as always!
uh oh, the LEDs are venturing outside the house now!!
Hahahaha yeah they are slowly moving outdoors now lol. Thanks for watching buddy and always appreciate the support!
Great project.
Nice Project Chris! I would be happy with that one!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I appreciate the support! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Another great build Chris. Top notch stuff!
Thanks as always buddy! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
Maybe try to add a waterproof electrical box or attached a small plastic box to your siding up off the ground for your connections
looks great as always.
Thanks so much for watching and appreciate the support buddy! If I keep everything set up, I might look into doing that as it certainly would look better than a green sandbox just sitting in the corner lol! Thanks for the great suggestion!
Looks great. It drives me crazy that Govee can't manage to make a waterproof plug or controller box....
yeah I agree! It cant be that hard to make a extra accessory that you can buy to accomplish that! They should for sure look into doing something like that. I bet they would sell a ton!
Nice..
Thanks buddy!
Another Excellent tutorial Chris.
LED's just make every space better.
I hope you are all well 👍
Thanks buddy! Lol leds are usually never necessary but totally worth it! I'm doing really good! Hope things are good on your end as well!
@@ChrisMaherDIY
Not too bad this end pal, naturally I am gutted for our Queen.
I just wish my lounge project would be done, it's 50% of the way there, waiting on another 5 metres of sk6812,
@@ChrisMaherDIY
Hi Chris,
Quick question, the WLED app, do you know if their is a maximum number of devices it can connect to at the same time?
I can't find an answer online.
Oh man, yeah, that looks really good!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you liked the project!
WHAT !!!! HOW ARE YOU SO AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much buddy! That's very kind of you! Appreciate the support and thanks so much for watching!
The lights look awesome 😎
Looks great!! love your channel
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! I appreciate the support!!
Great video ... Very thorough and extremely informative. 😊😁😀
Thankyou , I'm going to do this myself . And I'm subscribing too 👍👍👍
You are very welcome and glad you liked the video! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Curious what camera you use. It makes everything 'look' amazing.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I'm glad you think the pictures look good! I'm still using my old samsung galaxy note 8. Hopefully I can upgrade at some point down the road but for now it does a good job!
Adding some terrific polish in post than. However you're doing it, every video looks professionally done. 👍
Vary nice!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
@Chris Maher Thanks for your efforts to make clear and concise videos on the subject of wled and necessary parts. You take all the guesswork out of making wled projects.
I hope you can monetize your tube. My wife likes the projects so much she wants most of the rooms in the house done up with that type of lighting.
Should make a corn hole board 💡 huh 🤔
That is a great idea! I'm for sure going to put that on my to do list of projects! Thanks for watching!
Nice! I’ll wait on building one until I see what you come up with haha great content bro!
Any chance of a video discussing large projects. I've got a cinema room, I'm looking to add led lighting to the room using your videos but the length of each wall is in excess of 5 metres
Wondering if two month later you might have other recommendations for outdoor 16ft strip that's more cost effective
Thanks so much for watching! If I didn't need something that was waterproof, then I would use something different but for waterproof option, I would still use these. Still holding up strong!
Did you go back and place the light strips into the deck boards?
I've been watching your videos for a few couple of days now, I love all you have done with LEDs. I wish someone would do a video for complete beginners who want to add addressable led lights to detolf Ikea display cabinets. As a collector I can tell you many people use these display cabinets and there are options out there for.lighting them but I can't find any videos showing how to create your own light sequences or way to light them up specially when you have multiple of these side by side. If you could give me some ideas on what to do, that would be great. Ideally I want to have the lights install individually into each display but be able to connect multiple or maybe all so only a single.power supply is used rather than 7 of them..
Thanks so much for watching and for the great question and idea! That would for sure be a fun video to do at some point down the road. I'll for sure put it on my to do list! My guess is the easiest way to potentially do something like that would to use some type of individually addressable led strip (ws2812b or something like that) and then you can use the WLED app to create groups of leds on a long led strip so that you could individually control each section of leds in each section of the cabinet. Thanks again for the idea and I really would like to try doing something like that down the road!
Love it 😍
How did you power the lights?
Could you wire a different wifi controller to these lights and control them with a different app?
That's a great question! I have not looked too closely at the wiring but my guess is you probably could unless they are using some special type of led strip in the silicon tubing that is not compatible. I'll let you know if I ever cut one open and take a look!
How essential are the pilot holes? I thought deck screws were self tapping
Thanks so much for watching! I'm still pretty new at woodworking but I believe there are deck screws that you can buy that say you dont need pilot holes. I'm pretty sure I was using ones that don't need pilot holes but I figured it cant hurt!
@@ChrisMaherDIY probably right!
Love the channel and the detail you put into everything. Super random question but do you have like a Spotify playlist of the music you have on this channel or even just ones you like? I've enjoyed most every audio bit on your videos so far so 😀
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! I'm glad you are liking the music! I know not everyone is going to enjoy it, but I'm glad there are those that do! Lol I don't have a Spotify playlist but I totally should make one of all my favorites! I'll let you know if I ever get around to making one!
@@ChrisMaherDIY awesome that would be great. I find myself shazamming the music on your videos all the time. But more importantly I do appreciate how in depth you go with each new project you show. Already making plans to do similar projects based on yours. So def kudos for that
Did you have to cut these ones to length? or what did you do with the excess?
Thanks for watching! This is the one bummer thing about these lights. They really cant be cut as the led strip is completely sealed in the silicone sleeve. So good thing is they do come in different length so you can kind of piece meal them together based on your project. I think they come in 5, 10 or 16 feet. I did have a little leftover on this particular design that i ended up just covering up with a wood frame. Not perfect but good enough for me!
Can the rope be plugged into an esp board?
Thanks so much for watching and great question. I have not found a way yet to do this. I'm sure there is some way it can be done but it would depend on what led strip they are using inside the rope and if that would be compatible with WLED/ESP. Maybe someone else watching might know for sure and can chime in!
Can u cut those led ropes if they’re too long?
I know they are not meant to be cut as i'm not sure how the app would respond if they were. If you need to cut led lights to a specific length, I would recommend going the more DIY led option of using lights such as the ws2812b strips. I do know the Govee M1 strips can be cut and i've made a couple videos on those! ruclips.net/video/XhMnKVqAIWw/видео.html
How many pixels can the ESP8266 run if power management is done correctly?
My plan is running (3) 5 meter WS2812b (either 30 or 60 pixels/meter haven’t decided) yet and running (2) 200 watt power supply split in the middle sharing only the ground (and data of course). Is that something I can do or will I need to do something different?
Edit. Got me. Lol You didn’t use that chip in this video.
Lol went with govee since things were waterproof! But even though I have not tested out that many led's on a esp8266, my guess is you for sure can run that many with an esp8266. If you do have any trouble, i would just bump it up to an esp32 and you for sure would not have any issues. But no harm in trying the 8266 first!
Hey I have a quick question
So I bought four of these rope lights one of them stopped working I believe the board that controls the LEDs messed up in the controller do you think I could use wled to control them with a ESP32. I was thinking about just desoldering the wires from the board and puting them directly on the WLED borad do you think that will work
That's a great question! I'm not entirely sure what type of led strip they are using and I have not cut in to them yet to find out. My guess is there is probably a way to get them to work with WLED on an esp32 but i'm not 100% sure. Let me know if you try things out and figure it out!
One deck down, One house to go.
hahahahah so true! Thanks for watching!
Are these ripe lights curable? I like these.
Wow. Let’s try this again. Lol.
Are these rope lights cuttable?
Thanks again for the question! Are you wondering if they are cuttable? I did not see any cut points. My guess is you can cut them but you would first have to somehow get into the silicon tubing to find out where the led strips they are using can be cut. It would be nice if there were clear indicators on the outside if/where they could be cut! Great question!
Looks great!
Silly question but did you have to get a permit to build it? Just curious if every city/town is as ridiculous as mine. 😜
Thanks so much for watching! Great question! I did not get a permit and I honestly did not even bother to check If I needed one. Its not technically attached to my house so I cant imagine I would need one but like you said, there are some ridiculous things that city/towns require so who knows!
NIce
Thanks for watching!
Plzz sir giveaway wled lights and controllers
That's a great idea! I'll try doing that at some point!
What song is that at the end of the video?
Infinity by Nick Petrov👊🏿🙏🏿
I wish PT wood looked like this in my area. We have this ugly red with cuts in it look!
