Hey KZbin and welcome to another video!
My name is Joshua, I'm a starting artist original from Belgium but living in Barcelona.
Moved there in March 2020, lost many opportunities as so many people, and therefore it would be great to get a like!

This video has been updated so please have a look at my second video about LEDsoldering where I show two different ways of doing it!
• DIY - How To Solder Le...
Welcome to this DIY video on how to solder LED strips together in a nice, clean and secure way! In the video I give the full explanation, go over all the tools and materials needed and many little tips and tricks!
What I refer to as soldering grease, the actual term is flux! Forgot to mention that in the video!
Video about LEDstrips and what to know about them before buying :
• DIY - What To Know Abo...
In this video I used WS2815 strips from BTF Lighting controlled with a SP107E controller and are the LEDs I use the most in my pieces at this moment.
LEDs WS2815 Amazon Link :
www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07L...
SP107E controller Amazon link :
www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07M...
The cables are 4 pin RGB 0.25mm square and were sourced local, pre tinned and no silicone covering, this makes it easier to pull the cables apart and that is a big quality difference!
Cables amazon link, be aware these might have a silicone covering :
www.amazon.es/gp/product/B019...
Heat shrinking tubing can be found in many electronics stores and was also sourced local.
On Amazon you should find many different kit, just pay attention to the diameter!

Great video. I am building a replica nano leaf and need to solder three strips per triangle. Your video gave me the idea to lay them out in the triangular pattern and solder them together. I will adjust the length of each of the three wires to account for the bend. Still learning fast.led so don’t know if each triangle will have its own data line or if they could just run in serial. There will be a total of 18 lights per triangle using ws2812B. Your thoughts on this?

Great video, would it be possible to cross connect the RGB wires to get different colour combinations between led strips? For instance connect the red output of one strip to the blue input of the other so different strips have different colours but are all turned on by the same remote? (of course you couldn't regulate the colour of the strip that is cross connected)

Hi! So your first comment would work with strips that have dedicated RGB channels so you kinda trick them but as you say the control is away because the colors are wrong. There are so many ways of lighting strips like this, that what you look for is quite easy. You need individual adressable LEDs that are controller by the right controller. My fav and easy setup is a SP107E or go WLed so you can realy program yourself

I am currently building an infinity mirror dodecahedron. I am looking at these pixel led's that are 144 led's per meter programmable. Each strip will be max 7-1/4" they will lead to an intersection consisting of a "Y" +/_ roughly. How do you solder this intersection when you are doubling up on every led on the leading strip side. Also do you know of an led strip that has at least this many led's per meter that would have a controler that is bluetooth capable, has a remote and can connent to google home and alexa and that the lights would change to music?
@StudjoInfinity

@StudjoInfinity 3 жыл бұрын
Waterproof to my opinion is a dangerous word in soldering but with using hot glue over your solderpoints they will be even more secure and if your heat shrinking tubing fits nice and snug over your IP protection together with hot glue you will be able to get them splash proof. Otherwise i advise using the apropriate mounting rails and covers for better water protection or use full waterproof led strips only ( i avoid outdoor projects only for this reason to be honest )

Hi and thx for watching. The wire is regular led RGB cable that you can find in many hardwarestores and lightshops so Im guessing the insulation makes it look thick. The cable thickness depends on how many Amps you will run through your project and also keep in mind to use extra powercables if your ledstrip is long and has a high density

It depens on how many meters of strips you will have and the distance between them. You could power them all seperate and use a signal amplifier or put your led controller as close as possible to the ledstrips so the voltage and signal doesnt drop over the distance 😉

If you accidentally join the beads it can be tricky to separate them, but most of the time it can be fixed. What I usually do is use something pointy like tweezers or an exacto knife to part the beads as you remelt them. If you have a fine tip soldering iron, you can just use that to melt and draw a gap between the beads, it might take a few passes before the beads will want to separate though. Also in my experience, when beads get joined it's usually because I used too much solder, so less is more with those tiny pads on the strips.

There are different types of connectors for cornering but nobody is a fan of them. For corners just same thing but different lengts of wires to solder, you can solder on the underside of the strip to make tighter corners or just loop them with some framework to hide the wires

Been trying over and over, but having no success. Idk, if Im using the wrong size wire. Ive tried a little solder, a lot. I just cant get past the first powered strip to the next.

Helloo. Soldering takes a while to get under control. Does your soldering gun get to a good temperature? And use the flux grease to increase heat transfer. And dont forget to first prepare the tips of your ledstrips and cables to make the connection easier when you solder them together. Do it strip by strip and test them after every strip you attached. Trust me, i also still have troubles sometimes!

@@StudjoInfinity I just have solder- good quality. I think it contains flux. Treating the led strips? You mean running the solder tip on them? I havent really done that, but probably inadvertently while trying to get solder down on them. One potential issue is that Im using 18 awg wire and maybe its too thick? Hard to place down precisesly on 3 pin led. Yeah, I havent successfully gotten a second strip lighting up and have gotten increasingly frustrated. I invested a lot of money into this project and Im laying a big, wet fart. My gun gets pretty hot- what temp is the sweet spot? 350?

I am not known to this standard but i use 0.25mm^2 rgb wire, its very standard. Take the proper preparation steps as said before and it will make it easier. Solder materials have different melting points but usually you can find that on the package. And you mean celcius or fahrenheit?

@@StudjoInfinity Thanks for you're advice. Got the project completed as far as led lights. Ran 32 rows at 20 high and it looks bad a--.I was initially a moron and just laid everything down and soldered it without a power supply as it was still in delivery. So my solder job was atrocious and that was the issue. I laid way too much solder and was bad with wire placement. Didn't realize everything had to be spot on. I haven't soldered since middle school. Anyway, I went from strip to strip checking with power after each. After major clean up of the old solder and re-connecting I finally got it done. Thanks again

everything is perfect except blowing, if you blow it cools down quickly and weakens the weld, they should never blow

If you're doing styling, your hookup wires are too thick for signal passing.

Can you make each section of LED strip a different colour?
@StudjoInfinity
@StudjoInfinity 3 жыл бұрын
There are more than a few ways of making sections in different colors. With a setup like this that is sort of possible depending on how many sections and how you olay with the original settings for the controller. Best way is with Wled where you can program everything yourself by using a universal chip

why u call it grease? I assume ur usimg FLUX??? if so it is not to just equalize the temp. it also cleans and etches the surface so the solder fills hot and flat . The most important advice to give is how to avoid a cold solder joint>>>> thats when the solder looks rough and n0t shine. they will craxk and fail.

I assume you mean 1.5mm^2 and yes that will be too thick. Best is to look under rgb led wire

Allow me to correct myself. 1.5 mm diameter could work depending on what the width of your strip and solderingpoints are
