How to Bend LED Strips Around Corners

[@SaadRKhan]

The folding method by far seems the cleanest but do you think that those folds could potentially cause enough heat to damage the strips in the long run??

[@superbrightleds]

Great question. It depends on the strip. Most single-row strips will be fine, like the one used in this video. However, for high-density strips or double/trip/quad-row strips, we would not recommend this method.

[@32toddv]

Ive always used the folded 90° option on indoor strips, I've never had one fail yet. This doenst work on the thicker oitdoor siliconed strips obviously...

[@LegendaryHorse3075]

Remove a small part of the silicone for the fold(s) then re-seal with a glue gun.

[@jamesz9139]

From what I've researched, most installations (esp. indoor) the fold method is sufficient. The downside is that it can create a "LED hotspot" because you have multiple lights closer together than the original spacing. Not a big deal, especially if your LED strips are not visible.

Can we do the sane for govee ?

[@fike301]

Worked with my Govee led strips

[@tanping5872]

will got any problem when u open effect?

[@jamesz9139]

Is your Govee RGBIC?

[@netplaygamer2976]

Can i connect this with electric switch board or not

[@siamaklighvani3951]

I went to light international exhibitions and find strip led light which works with 220 ac no DC adaptor improved any other electrical unit required , it helps me to work more accurately, with the help of cable tie, I attached to the light Aluminum pipe , noticed the pipe is vibrating a little bit when I move my finger along with pipe.

[@monyon4002]

Can you use the soderless connectors on rgbic led strips? As i thouight they cannot be cut

[@jamesz9139]

From what I've seen, you should be able to cut RGBICs at the copper strips. You just have to be super careful about aligning all your pins correctly with the solderless connectors. That said; I haven't personally tried that with mine....

[@jamesz9139]

OH, and you have to have a 4-pin connector--not 2 or 3...

[@rezohi8291]

Question. Will the L connector work with Phillips hue strip lights ?

[@superbrightleds]

Short answer: probably. Our L connectors are designed with our strip lights in mind, but as long as you match up both the size of the strip along with the type (e.g., Single Color, RGB, RGBW, Tunable White, etc), you should be good.

Thank you, James

[@thesobolizer]

Nice! Well done. Thank you! Sincerely, Dave :)

[@DaphneOya]

I tried the folding and now my led strip doesnt work anymore from that part😂 will have to use the cut method instead

[@superbrightleds]

Noooo! Sorry to hear. Yes, when in doubt, use the solderless connectors. They are very inexpensive, easy to install, and look better than any of the bending/folding methods.

[@4Core100]

Happened to me on RGB strip, after every bend, one of the colors stopped working :D

[@Rishi__10k]

Thnx man love from India love you

[@XOZSKU]

Thxx.. :D

[@morkthebuilder9943]

Excellent thanks

[@rtr9746]

So a strip led won't break if you double it? I am afraid that it might break that why I don't do it. Never knew it was that flexible. Thx

[@shrihangundubogula2483]

How did it go?

[@rtr9746]

It went great. I could easily do 90 degrees corners to each direction. I was surprised they didn't break. I just tried to double them where no chips or LEDs are present. I tried first without removing the tape, then when I got the trick it was easy. So yes no problems for me. My LEDs were from AliExpress from a company called RGB. Very good quality.

[@wavesofkatrina]

What about the led COB strip? i need a 45 degree fold turn as well for a seemless look

[@superbrightleds]

You can definitely do the fold on COB strips. Just take it easy when folding it. Of course, we'd still recommend a solderless connector because they're only a couple bucks and look even more professional.

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

If i want to write AXE and dont want the letters joined together how do i connect them to make it work indelendently from one power source

[@michaelmills2263]

Thank you very much

Thanks for the video!

[@rottenfist220]

Don't try this on cheap strips or it will break.

[@snicker_kicker6420]

too late 😢

[@SUPREE2014]

You are correct,the pcb is thin and flimsy which can be hardly fixed good by the connctot.

[@cousintimmy9272]

Y this worked well

[@bernardedoroneyeze2185]

how to repair the charging system🎉

[@GoodGollyGonzo]

Hello, is there a way to turn an LED strip 180 degrees to run it back along itself?

[@johnadams1976]

Cut. Solder wires to each section to rejoin. Turn the strip 180. Tada

[@MrDon967]

try to not bend led as this will create hotspots. basically asking for something to go bad. just buy connectors

[@oxxo902]

Use connectors

[@rendalious]

is there a technique to fold led strips 180 degrees to go over a spot again?

[@EmmadCheema-gv6iu]

Instructions unclear Accidentally opened a worm hole

[@erwin_]

I did the folding thing and now the Green light don’t work💀

[@encarnaciongonzalez3945]

Same now only my green one worked

[@pavaovlaovic3433]

Folding strip is not ok, conectors leave you with blank space... Buy soldering iron and just solder them if you need to go around corner

[@88GhostWriter88]

Dont cut your rgbci strip otherwise you gonna end with a mess

[@Smb5150]

Up to 60 cigarettes a day?!? No wonder he died so young.
