    the led strip used is super convenient. The case gets real when you try to do that with more led dense strips

    • @Inspired-LED
      @Inspired-LED 4 года назад +2

      Good day! Thanks for leaving a comment on our video. You are correct that although bending the flex gets more difficult with a heavier density LED strip, there are ways of going about it. Feel free to contact us at orders@inspiredled.com for directions or for us to provide a link for our patented Solderless Tiger Paw Technology. Specifically, our Right Angle Connector! Have a great day!

  • @Glorious_Yell0w
    @Glorious_Yell0w 2 года назад +1

    God thing to know, most times bending this way u will kill the strip from the bend. So always test on the end before bending in the middle. This is because all rgb/led strips are not the same and some with lets say silicon this will not work unless u peel the silicon first. Some 24v strips will fail because the pressure and bend kills the lanes. So trial and error always start at the end and test bend.

  • @Gollammeister

    I recently purchased some smart good quality looking led strip lights and to install properly you'd need to purchase diffuser channelling plus appropriate connectors too etc and trust me it ain't cheap at all but if your gonna do something do it right
    Folding over leds is def not right way to treat em and remember heat kills leds it reduces lifespan and creates hot spots so I'd purchase L shaped connectors and install the leds correctly to achieve the best result
