Can you cut GoVee RGBIC Pro and splice?

In this short video I cut GoVee RGBIC Pro lLED strip and splice in 12” of solid copper data wire strands from CAT5e cable. I wouldn’t recommend stranded wire for this.

Amazing how long it took to find a video of somebody doing actual testing and demonstration. Great job.

I was searching for a video about this and this one was the first that came up... Perfect!! I want to put the outdoor version under the edge of my outdoor kitchen but a couple areas are higher and lower than the regular bar so I was wondering if this could be done. Now I know and you even said the correct wire to use! Thanks!!

Glad I could help! I searched a ton as well and couldn’t find anything so I figured i could help others by testing it out myself

[@turbotalon6608]

Thanks! I was assuming it would all still work since you can buy corner connectors (my corners are simpler) but it's nice to see it demoed.

So i had 32FT RGBIC PRO (2 rolls by 16ft). I literally was running 15" short and extended one roll to 17 ft 2". The control unit that sends the voltage is programmed only for 16 ft even. So the added section was lit as it was close to power source but at the end of the line exactly 15" was dead and did not lit. I also had 65" RGBIC PRO, so i soldered that control unit to LED strip and it worked. However, I noticed that certain modes that start sending light from the middle are not working as intended. Why can't they allow in the app to add manually number of sections so all light presets work as expected...

What about a power extension the light strip ends on the corner of my ceiling and won’t reach the power unit any ideas?

Ask.. i bend accidentally a brand new govee rgbic. Its a little area didnt reproducee green color other no have issue but some colors are not accurate thar area i mean when supouse to be white goes pink .. can i cut that part where goes the coneection to the bext connection you know the positive negative etc and cut out abd put cables fkr extebeded and hoin that area i knkw i will elimate a maybe a feet or somethibg but can i do it and the led will still do the same colors and i can use the app etc?

[@yoinkszoinkys9924]

Are these the ones with the silicon top

[@vito4553]

Why solid copper and not stranded? Just curious, I'm about to do this. .

[@josephmuscat9764]

Is everything going smoothly?

[@omerdeveci1753]

Hello i have the exact same strip but its too long for my room. Can ı just cut at the end and not reconnect it will it work fine with the app and the controller?

[@sheepdog1637]

It will still function, but you will lose any of the patterns that were supposed to function on the portion that you cut off, so there may be periods of no light if those parts are only supposed to be lit

[@DiaboloIIICzarodziej]

Thx for info, i will do exactly the same with TP link 920 RGBIC , tp. Link say's cut it ;)

[@VictorSanchezFitness]

Let me know if you did it

[@mohitpatiyal]

Did this work for TP link RGBIC? thanks

[@FrancescoDallOlmo]

hey! I have a 24v rgbic led strip and i'd like to cut it and connect two parts to the same controller. Can I do it with a 4 pin connector or do i need any particular cable?

[@sheepdog1637]

shouldn't need a specific kind of cable, a 4 pin connector should work, i just prefer to use CAT5 because i have it readily available, i can customize it to whatever length i need and in my opinion is reliable

[@talbarr2252]

Hey did u cut it yet, and did it work?

[@FrancescoDallOlmo]

@@talbarr2252 hey. no, I didn't. I found another way to run the strip without cutting and reconnecting

[@jacobramirez4789]

How?

[@Furnace_king47568]

Blud said GoVee💀💀💀💀💀

[@Sengh1999]

You sure these are RGBIC PRO? I have the pro’s and it has a coating over it making it stiff

[@sheepdog1637]

yep, these are for sure the pro's, maybe they changed their manufacturing at some point?

You probably have outdoor ones with a protective sheath.
