[@dominicrozsa7411]

Excellent video, very informative - please note however for users that use subtitles, your Powering LED Strip section subtitles at 7:22 is not showing the correct recommended length amount as per the narrator in the video. The narrator suggests 9.6W per meter strip, a maximum of 5 meters is powered, however the subtitles suggest 10. Use 5 as per the narrator, if you happen to come across this in the comments section (For those without sound or have hearing impairments).

[@nickstefan6555]

He must be rather dim witted

[@dantheman331977]

ok I get how to cut strips now. How do you join strips to make a much longer strip if needed?

[@AnthonyGoodley]

The best method would be to solder some wires inbetween each end as that provides the best connection. Of course make sure positive and negative ends are properly connected to positive and negative on each end. There are also a variety of connectors you could use as well. When making a long run you may need to add additional power taps, all from the same power supply, along the length of LED's. Otherwise due to voltage drop the LED's near the end very well may get dim. Think of it like a tree's branches. One at the start, one in the middle and one near the end

Can you cut them and use that other half at another place? How would that work with the remote, and what needs to be purchased extra for that to work?

[@TigerPowerSupplies]

+Matthew Bishop You can cut them and power multiple bots of LED strip using a wireless controller which then pairs with a wireless or multiple wireless receivers take a look at some of these examples but we can offer for single colour or colour changing LED strip www.led-supplies.com/led-controllers/led-dimmer/wall-mounting/led-strip-dimmer-wireless-single-zone/

[@TigerPowerSupplies]

+Matthew Bishop Yes you can use 1 remote but then buy 2 receivers which are available on their own as order code COMPACT-RECEIVER . Doing this you can effectively power as much LED strip as you want in different places all from the one remote controller www.led-supplies.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=compact-

[@JamminJohn13]

All of these special adapters and extra part numbers you don’t really need to just simply power some low powered Led light strips like these.. *1.Cut the charge end off a USB phone charger cable- 2. Strip back the red and black wires to bare metal wire. 3. Attach/solder the red wire to the +positive on the led and the black to one of the other copper pads depending on what color you would like them to be! 4. Plug the USB end into any 5v source/ phone charger block... Let there be light! And save your money by using old shorted phone charger cables!

Just add an input wire - something like this www.led-supplies.com/led-installation-accessories/cables/quick-connect-power-cables-for-led-strip-lighting/ there are different versions of this for different types of LED strip and then you can power it up from an LED driver as usual

Can you splice on another LED strip to make it longer?

[@TigerPowerSupplies]

RobsMemoryLane Hi Yes, you can add more LED strip on - check each spec to refer to maximum single run lengths. for running in series You can also use repeaters to power more LED strip from a single dimmer or controller like these www.led-supplies.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=repeater or we do a range of quick connecting cables to make the job easier as well like these www.led-supplies.com/led-installation-accessories/cables/corner-connection-cables-for-led-strip/ or maybe these connectors www.led-supplies.com/led-installation-accessories/connectors/.

+PC TechTips what if you want to run a 4s lipo batttery pack woud like to build led race track outside

[@Brandon-uy1uv]

helcat316 If you mean 4 lithium ion cells connected in series you will what to get a power transformer or something like that (cant remember right now) to keep the voltage between 12-14V because a charged lithium ion battery is around 3.9v X 4= 15.6 Volts which will burn out the LEDs or make them turn into a very weird color
