You can use any connector, it’s just important that you connect your LED strip to the same connector pins. Use a connector with 4 pins if you have it, but use first 3 pins to connect tour LED on both sides of the connector

I'm so sorry to hear that. Not all hope is lost, you can try to cut your LED cable on the next cutting line, and then try to reconnect it, maybe there is just a problem with those connectors in their current position. Don't throw it away, try to reconnect it on a different place! Good luck!

Hehe thank you brother, accent can soud funny sometimes to say the least 😂😂 Look, if that strip has clear cutting lines, and if you can peel off strip protection to expose carbon connectors, than there is realy no reason it wouldn’t work. Cut last piece of your strip and try it (cut just 10cm or wherever last cutting line is). Good luck bro 🤜🤛

Hi, you seem knowledgeable about this topic. I have a 25 meter led light strip. The first 15 meters work, but the remaining 10 meters don't light up. Is it possible i just cut the junction where it started to not light up then connect them again with a 4 pin connector? Or does the new 10 meters cut will require a new power controller? Thank you
@rookie.handyman
@rookie.handyman 6 ай бұрын
Hi there, you could be right, maybe just the connection between 15 and 10 meters is somehow not ok, fabric mistake maybe. 25 meters should work without any problem on one power controller, so I recommend cutting between 15 and 10 meters, and reconnecting it with the connector, if it's not working cut to the next cutting line and reconnect it. If the connection point is good, you should have a working 24,5 - 24,9 meters LED strip. Good luck 👍

@samrajavaid6122 It’s probably a problem with a connection somewhere. Please check the connection point of the LED strip and cable, there should be a small connector with pins, check the connection of your plug and outlet, if it's wobbly that can be a problem also. When you connect your strips to power for the first time default state is blinking all the time and then you set your programs, it could be that there’s a break somewhere and it resets your LED strips.

Then to join them use one of the jumper connectors, and do the same thing with the 3rd roll (25ft)??? each roll came with its own power supply. I just need one power supply fir all of them correct??

@futbol1972 I really see no reason why this cant work. Power supply from first roll is strong enough to power all 3 of them, it’s going into the power grid so you have enough power input. Just to be safe, you can cut second roll at its end and then connect it to the first roll just to see how strong is the light, if its all good than cut all of them however tou want. I also had 2 rolls from 50ft, cutted the second one and everything worked perfect. Good luck!

can you make a video of sticking the led lights when I remove it shows different colour in the back and I cannot put I am using glue pls help

Do you by sticking mean how to glue led strips to the wall or cabinet or whatever? There’s always glue on the back of the LED strip, but over time it loses its stickiness, so I also use separate glue to glue my older LED strips to the hard surfaces. Good idea, I will make one video about it, thank you 👍

@@Memto274 Yes you should put your glue on the backside of the LED strip, if the original glue is not strong enough, feel free to put some additional glue on it. And I'm thanking you for your idea, it's always easier to make a new video when I know there's a need for it. 👍

Yes, of course, you can reuse any part of the LED strip, from 20cm to 2 meters, you just have to reconnect it. Here are some easiest ways to solder it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5a2n3agm7OBmrMsi=VnIWRPtbe2DNAFDH

@ImAnnie_06 don’t cut it where there’s no cut line, the part of your led after cut line will not work, it works only until cut line. And you can reuse it only if you have cuted it from cut line to cut line

Yes, you need to make sure that the number of pins is the same on the LED strip and on the connectors, you can also solder it with wires, but again, the number of wires and LED connectors must be the same 👍

1. You can solder led strip to led strip with a soldering iron 2. You can solder the led strip to wires and then to other led strip 3. You can do these two options without soldering but with connectors. Those are your options if I understood you correctly 👍👍

I domt have a solder iron gun. But i do have my jstandard and know how to solder. The type of tip you used is too big and gets too hot and could damage the small strip. Depends on which heat tip you got though but just based on what i see

The part with the adapter and plug in will always work, if you want to extend it you need to reconnect an additional length. But no need to reconnect it if you just want to shorten the original strip 👍
