Bllsht. Ive tried 3 different brands. They dont stay connected well and half the lights are green if they do.

[@maryhill339]

[@ezumach]

Crazy that these companies sell these with no instructions on how to connect the lights using the connectors. You got to wonder how many people are returning these all cut up cuz they can't figure it out. Literally nothing in the instructions on how to do this.

[@Stoneylfm]

And how disappointing it is when you think you cut, stick and have lights. Knew it was too good to be true

[@christianraymundodelacruz7484]

this is actually made for technicians who knows how to do it

[@ezumach]

@@christianraymundodelacruz7484 no it's not, if it was it would be sold in a specialty store. It's sold in Walmart, and Amazon. It's for consumers.

[@jBeanz92]

I didn't need instructions out the box for my first time...though I cut a piece of strip in the line and not on the middle copper part, thankfully it wasn't that long but definitely taught myself a fun lesson learned type of experience!

Just bought a 5m roll for a cabinet internal lighting and kind of guessed one cuts on the copper but wasn't sure of that fact. Thanks so much for a clear consice and waffle free video. Wasn't awate of the connectors or extender accessories either.

[@streakyfish]

Simple clear instructions. What more could you ask for👍

[@fortunefalconer2386]

Straightforward, clear, simple, and informative instructions. Thank you for your help!

[@williamsimonson933]

Very helpful! I am making some LED wall sconces with oak boards I milled and didn't have a clue on how to wire the lights. This is really helpful! I'm going to look at your other instructionals. Thank You.

[@ShirleyFang18]

This is the most detailed method I have seen about cutting and extending the light strip, and it uses an RGBCW light strip. This light strip is more complicated to connect than single color light strip, and it also explains the connection accessories at the corners. Very useful, great video. keep going.

[@GeekStreet]

Thanks much appreciated!

[@miltonpound763]

Thanks for the simple and easy to understand instruction!

[@rebeccaelley2580]

Really helpful! I was looking into how I could connect two strips to one power supply but with a break as they're for under my kitchen cupboards. Thanks so much

[@erwinborabien4940]

😩

[@oreoslush]

DID YOU FIND THE ANSWER?

[@SteveH-TN]

Appreciate you shedding some light on this subject ( all Puns intended ) A couple of years ago @ Huntsville Hamfest I purchased a couple of strips without any intention of connecting them together. Recently during building the Tennessee Valley Model Railroaders N Scale double deck layout ( Bell Buckle, Tennessee) Several members used RGB Strips for lighting underneath the upper deck. Which has inspired me to explore using RGB Strips in my home. Thanks for sharing this video & information.

[@bernadettetibazi9969]

Thanks! So informative and simple! Appreciate you taking the time!

[@laurenclark5734]

Thank you so much for this video. Now I feel like this is something I can’t attempt to do on my own. I’m a grandma so sometimes doing the things of scary but you made this simple and straightforward. Thank you.

[@general5104]

THANK YOU, for posting - I hate it when a company makes an item and the store stocks it and sells it, but doesn't stock the parts to use it to its full amount. Nowhere in the store, nor online store, sells the splicer kit for 5 terminal lite strip. I had to have my daughter, who has an Amazon account, to order my kit. That's absurd ! Thanks for posting this training video

[@abbeyangelcbc]

thanks really informative and simply explained 👍

[@will1554]

When it comes to cutting, can we just trim it and still be good to go with the shortened strip?

[@DutchNL-xq3fd]

can you mismatch the colours between strips to get a 2 tone strip that syncs when fading/flashing etc. but has different colours?

[@KRDP]

Thank you sir for the excellent video , i decided that i wante dmy Led lights on the back of my desk just so at night i can have some lights to go along with my LED Lava Lamp and i could have a really cool set up but i did not know how to cut the LED LIGHTS Safely so i could make sure i dont damage my lights and you sir are a life saver now my LED Lights wont hang over my disk and i can have lights on the top and bottom of my desk. Thank you again for your time making this vid

[@DavidMartinez-fq9eh]

Thanks for the vid, dude. Very instructive.

[@RawDogGames]

Thank you got me out of a bind I couldn’t figure out how to make it work stopped and watched a video give you a like

[@lltaboollyt5988]

Do I have to use a extender to finish the light strip or can I use extra light strip to finish the light strip?

[@user-nu4ps5il5j]

Thank you for the video

[@tristenjarrell9335]

Ok I just want to cut them bc they are to long and put that somewhere else so I cut it on the copper and then I have to get clips? And I can't just move the rest of the strip elsewhere and call it a day? Cause it's Bluetooth. Edit : I don't know what I'm doing

[@jaydenkumar4695]

This helped a ton! Thank you

[@hilariovazquezbadillo9384]

Where do you get thoes connectors I would like to cut and expand the strip in to different locations. And can you tell the gage of wire is being used to extend please ??

[@adytibbles]

Hi , I want to do the same that you've done In your kitchen with the cooker and extending it . What did you use ,and do you know if you can extend a wiz led strip 🤔? Cheers

[@WhoCares2509]

Can this be done with individually addressable LED light strips or would that confuse the control device? I'm thinking in regards to WLED effects, etc.

[@JohnWayneBaileyonfire]

Yes great video thank you🤟

[@GLPBN]

Thank you so much for this! One question, have you tried extending RGBIC type led strip? For example, I have a 32.8ft long RGBIC strip but I need another 6ft long to complete a loop. Can this be done or will it mess up the segmentation control?

[@GeekStreet]

I've not tried but in theory I've been told it should work.

[@alexdaneau186]

Thanks for this!

[@jpatteson762009]

what about the LED strips that have the weather poof coating ? Juts trim it ?

[@elieachaaya]

hello Thank you for the great explanation. does any 6 pins connector work ? I noticed that the names of the 6 pins in your led strip are different than mine. is this important or does any 6 pins connector work with any 6 pins led strip?

[@FamFest1]

Clear instructions and helped me out a ton. Thank you

[@XxTheDifferencexX]

It mentioned in the video how to cut when its to long (at the start) but never revisited it in the video. Whats the correct way to cut if to long?

hi i have the same strip as yours and the same black connector but i am trying to connect the t shape and L shape white connectors to the strip but the grb are in a different order at the top they say bgr instead of grb on the strip and on the other end of the connector it says rgb which does not match up to the led strip do i have to match up the letters the same if so what can i do.

[@CrazyguysGamingCGG]

If I have a remote and one adapter and if I cut the leds will both still work with one remote

[@godofliberty3664]

Thanks for sharing it.

Does the rest of the light strip still work??

[@godofliberty3664]

Very informative video.

[@bradlococo4806]

at the 415 mark where you have the break of the strip in kitchen. That is what I will have with the window/sink. So if you cut it how does the other half light up if it is cut from the other side that is probably connected to the plug? Thanks

[@sinistergamer7466]

[@harmeettatla1981]

Can you please do a video on your Kitchen counter lights install (seen @4:20) and extension around the Cooker hood? This is exactly what I’m trying to do so would be appreciated. I am looking to see if I can continue the strip under the cooker hood itself as a better alternative to its own bulb light. But this would require perpendicular joint - not 90 degree one as you showed ?

[@danskretteburg4110]

Is it possible to cut them down to one single light? I need it for a cosplay

[@mikek2951]

How do I do this without the clips? I need an instructional video, pronto. I am a wasteful person and just would possibly rather order a whole replacement kit that I'll get in a day for some reason, if that, and if I have to wait 3 days for clips forget it. Forget going to physical stores. People in those.
