How to bend a RGB strip around a corner 💡⤴️

[@driggsy]

Hopefully this helps someone out there! Note: Don’t completely fold the bend!! You might break the connection Also only fold on the “cut” line

This is how I destroyed my really cool lights I put around a desk 😢... Trust me don't do it 😑 instead where you need to bend the lights leave them not glued in that place and make a small curve so you would not bend the cable ,I'm bad at explaining but if you look for Goove lights you might find their manual which explains it. Also I do truly recommend getting Rgb lights which are covered by this thick rubber you will not break those and they are easy to install even better than those without because u don't have to worry about breaking them all the time 🙂

[@NewAgeAutoParts]

@@wiktoriagwozdowska5484ok so which company is this? I also want to get the chasing lights version as well. My main thing is I want to be able to sync them together for music via the app so all of the lights everywhere are playing in the same color. Since I’ve grouped my lights they start playing different colors on their own now when on voice activated but it shouldn’t rely on both Bluetooth units it should only be one damnit lol bc they’re synced.

[@subyouwont]

A corner piece costs 2$. Just buy and cut

[@Boxman5]

Folding it like this is an easy way to break the connection.

[@Pro88teC]

Done it. Broke a line. Now it only R😂 G and B is dead.

[@RobynnxX]

Scratch away some of the coating and just use some solder to fix it

[@himanshrasal]

​@@RobynnxX I everyone knew how to solder, wouldn't they just solder some jumpers to get a perfect 90⁰ angle?

[@teentrillionaresigma]

[@dior666-]

@@himanshrasalits easy though

[@Dimma205gti]

​@himanshrasal that is exactly what I do with my tv's and monitors. Just solder some wires for 90°. So much neater.

[@ANONYMOUS.scooter]

Let me tell something if you bend like that you can destroy the connection in the led strip and your RGB will be paralyzed

[@heyofficial3313]

I did it and it happened but mine completely snapt

[@SMARTSUB.]

Same and it fully ripped and half of the led light are not working

[@OLD_TADZIO]

I prefer to use cables as conection

[@zadekeys2194]

Exactly. Dude making the vid is a fool, just listen to him say "this is how you fold rgb"... No, you are folding an led strip... He should.cut it and get the 90 degree connector.

[@ANONYMOUS.scooter]

​@@SMARTSUB.that what i mean paralyzed

[@heyofficial3313]

I tried this and my led snapt in half so don't try this

[@amusmentinfo9642]

You have to do it at a section where there are no pins (resistors) and no bulbs…

[@markensermo8271]

No, you never fold rgb! In your case a flex neon rope/ silicone flex diffuser would have give a much cleaner and proper look.

[@dalethyahusha8370]

They don’t mention this just basic instructions

[@Pakistani890]

lol😂😂

[@dancisx]

Properly you need to install it on an aluminium profile for cooling and sticky-ness, also, bending the strip puts a lot of mechanical and electrical stress in the bending point, so expect it to fall of soon and get 30-50% less bright.

[@Johnny_C137]

No. You buy the right angle connectors for LED strips, cut the strip, plug each cut end into the connector, and make a super clean, flat connection.

[@yayeggs]

Protect this dude at all costs Also - the second I found this out with my Govee lights, i kicked the wall and made a hole. Currently patching the wall.

You don't fold you, use a T connector

[@Noah321...]

I might of already done mine and deleted the R in RGB so now i have GB lights on half my strip.😅

Thank you so much man! I just installed my first led lights, I had them for a while but never got the chance to install them. This video helped me so much! I was wondering how to fold them properly. Thank you so much. 👊

[@jasonjtg21]

Perfect fold! Also cutting and getting the 90* angel connectors works great as well (assuming the RGB you have is cuttable)

[@bb.connie]

OMG TYSM SO MUCH UR A LITTERAL LIFE SAVERR

[@driggsy]

Got you!

[@josephfoster1998]

There's usually a line where you can cut the strip and solder some short wire lengths if you want to make sharp bends.

[@driggsy]

Just be careful and don’t bend it too hard!

[@LokelyConed]

I cut my strips to the right length and then solder small cables onto each connecting point so that the cable can bend without having to stick to itself.

[@driggsy]

If you have the time this is definitely the way to go 🙌🏼 how’d it come out?

[@LokelyConed]

@@driggsy extremely clean, no over laps, I do electronic repairs as a side job so I'm pretty handy with the soldering iron. Took me probably 30 minutes from unboxing to having the strips cut to length and re-soldered and ready to be put behind my desk

[@driggsy]

@@LokelyConed Love to hear that. Having the background is very useful. I bet it was a fun project! Enjoy the clean looks!

[@LokelyConed]

@@driggsy very fun indeed, now I just need to make sure I don't spill a drink down the back and short them again 😅

@@LokelyConed hahah definitely don’t want that!

Important to note he's in the middle between the LEDs. The closer to the bulb the higher the risk of causing separation of the bulb from the circuit. Not fun.

They make 90* corner crimps for this purpose. It requires one cut and you’re basically done, they don’t cost much either. Source, I’m an electrician and do these often.

[@emmanuelcarrasco6644]

How’d you put on your tray fr your flexispot frame, just to cover the controls for the lifters, it’s confusing me

[@someguywithalife7525]

can this affect the led lights working, and also does this method work with rgbic?

[@teentrillionaresigma]

Yes it does I lost blue, pink and some other colors due to this

[@Jakereviewsall]

Better just to buy the little connectors you can get and just splice away.

[@reign9771]

Ohh very nice, saw this after I installed mine. took too much time soldering that rgbw. I died watching this.

[@NikkeiZX]

There are dirt cheap RGB connectors for this exact purpose, because you're not supposed to do this...

[@zakpriestly6128]

I literally figured this out myself so long ago. 😂 it's common sense

[@user-bc3zs2wn5z]

Please use a diffuser on LED strips. Especially if they’re going to be visible. Nothing cheaper than having plain RGB strips on the wall

[@Tuttomenui]

Like folding IDE cables but smaller.

[@Quorented]

10 loops and hoops later its in the right direction. Defo didnt waste 5 inch

It’s not dangerous to fold the RBG when the light are on? It’s not ruining the RBG?

I didn’t know u could do that cus I thought the govee RGB was very delicate and I already installed mine I didn’t know about this till now😂💀

[@wiscowild7369]

Just buy the corner connectors

[@MFA2000]

I got myself a philips hue lightstrip it can be cut and then you just turn it like that then you put some device that connects the two ends so it works again

Justo lo que estaba buscando ❤

[@jonl4802]

Ugh I didn't properly do this. . I'm going to re-do 😮. . Thanks .

[@amazingmation97]

Dont do this it breaks the lights, buy a connector off of the internet or follow the instructions with the lights its safer!

[@matthewgamman4303]

is rgb a noun now? and not used the same as a color, an adjective?

[@P1ll_K]

this can also damage the strip, so be careful with it. or just use a floating bend.

[@wyatt_7395]

This works until the strips been like that for over a year n the bend finally cracks. It always did that for mine I just got the corner extenders

[@6.3-JC]

“Prefect bend” 💀

[@nowknow]

Umm, really risking breaking the RGB by doing this but if it works it works. The proper way is to cut the strip, place it how you want and solder on the wires again to bridge the cuts, you can cover that up with tape. They also make really easy 90° joints you can plug the cut ends into if you're less electrically inclined. You can also just leave more room and not try to have such a tight bend, crimping it like that risks damaging a diod or resistor.

[@rammohanmahakud8084]

I think even if we fold the strip directly, it would be folded in the exact same pattern

[@alenxadro_patro]

It helps... but the double side tape on my rgb strips r suck💀

[@rowdygoose8482]

They have corner connectors for this... Cheap and simple to use

[@kashmooney2922]

Some lights dont like that lol i do a loop and then go which ever direction i need to after

[@muzzy4039]

Cool, but how do u stop it from falling off the bottom of the desk after 2 days

[@kuyasweazy]

i just literally installed mine few hours ago and this shorts just randomly appeared after i installed mine

[@CarpeUniversum]

Instead, get a strip with more solder points, cut them, place them at 90 degree to eachother, and just solder tiny wires between the connections for your corner. Cover with some tidily cut tape if you want...

[@Zender-]

me watching this 5 hours after installing rbg strips: youtube... WHY

[@endofps7318]

Watched this 2 weeks to late 😂

[@g2jnan427]

Mine have a clear silicone coating making them unbendable like that.
