For a very affordable and low cost RGB light kit that looks great Ryan. Really brightens up the pool at night, thumbs up!👍

Thanks Dave!!!!!

[@tonycharron73]

Appreciate you showing the work and quality of the product. For an inexpensive option, this really adds some fun to the pool for the night swimming. Everyone has their own budgets to work within. Its great to know even a DIYer could do this if they wanted. Great Job on the video.

[@PlexNTech]

Thanks! They looked great and were inexpensive but they only lasted about a month before they started to go bad. Maybe you'll have better luck but this looks like a case of getting that you paid for. Lol

[@walterwesleyiii4277]

Thank you for the video! You should do an update on how it lasted and what you would have done differently

[@PlexNTech]

You are right, I should accept there would be nothing to show. A small section quit changing colors and then an entire section stopped working altogether. I had to pull all the lights off at the end of the pool season. They were cool while they lasted but if I ever decide to do this again I'm going to go with more expensive aRGB lights. The ones I used in this video were just too low quality and don't handle the elements and water well enough to last long

[@davidschutte2262]

Did you find another set of lights that were better than these or ones your thinking about getting? Also great job on the video.

[@PlexNTech]

Thanks! No I've not looked yet. I know there's better ones available but they will cost more. I think putting them into some type of transparent conduite would be best since that'll keep the lights from exposure to water.

[@davidschutte2262]

@PlexNTech I'm a little apprehensive about using lights that's not 12 volt. I can't seem to find any better lights other than the ones you used. Thanks

[@manicmods]

Great video! At that price, I'd probably include in thumb 🙂

[@PlexNTech]

Thanks! I'll add it to the title!!

I have tried like 6 different brands and even ones rated as IP67 waterproof end up dying section by section after a few weeks. Frustrating. Have not tried RGBIC yet.

[@PlexNTech]

Yeah I feel your pain. These went bad a month after I made this video. One small section stopped working with the correct light scheme and then later an entire section went bad. It was cool why they lasted. I would like to look into the aRGB ones but I'm not sure they will be any better quality.

[@Joooooooooooosh]

@@PlexNTech The reason it first starts by not showing the right color is because the LEDs share a common conductor among their color. So if the conductor for the blues in a section fail, the controller sends a RGB value but the B’s aren’t there so everything essentially becomes (R, G, 0). Eventually all 3 burn out and the section is dead. I’m gonna try some diffuser track and see if that helps with an extra level of moisture protection.

[@geekmarylu5991]

How safe is this though?

[@PlexNTech]

It's very safe because it's very low voltage and watts. It runs off of DC power.

[@Joooooooooooosh]

You could literally drop a toaster in a pool and won’t feel it because of the volume. This is nothing.

[@TheAceTroubleshooter]

NOT using the Addressable or Individaully controlled LED strips was a huge mistake brother.... These single color strips are so crap looking these days compared to the stuff you can get for not much more cost at all... 50$-60$ will get you your pools worth of addressable lights, a bit of diffusing panel would go a looooong way also!

[@PlexNTech]

I deleted my original reply to you because I misread what you were trying to say. Yes, the aRGB LEDs are better and I may try those next year. I don't expect these to last too long. The aRGB are not as cheap though. I need 90ft which will cost over $100.
