[@yusuf6778]

Hey Chris, honest question. Which one is better?. Your previous recommendation of the WLED with the sound reactive built-in or this WLED controller?. To me, the difference is if you want sound reactive vs non-sound reactive WLED. Second question, can you use these Cob LEDs with the previous WLED with the sound reactive controller on your previous video?. And lastly, which combination will be the best in colors, controls and budget?. FYI, I want to upgrade my entire living room LEDs and control with WLED. I require at least 90 ft. Thank you for your advice. Big fan!.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Both are great! I would go with the domestic automation one for 5v led strips and this one for 12 or 24 volt strips. This controller also has a built in mic for sound reactive animations so you still would have that as an option. I have yet to try using the 12v cob lights with the domestic automation controller but it is something I want to try seeing if there is an easy workaround! The unfortunate thing about led strips is that there is not a perfect solution so it really comes down to what your main goal is. Colors will all be about the same but pixel density varies. Then it also depends on if you are using a diffuser channel or not an if you want to have a good looking white. Its fun trying different lights out but I think my overall favorite is still the sk6812 strips with 60leds per meter with the neutral white diod. I love having the dedicated white! Hope that helps and thanks for the support!

[@Zeaiclies]

What about COB Neopixel with 332 per meter?

[@yusuf6778]

​@@ChrisMaherDIYthanks for the feedback bro. The SK6812 looks nice with your demonstration. However, I believe you can see the gaps even when you use a diffuser because of 60 LEDs per meter. I like Cob LEDs smoothness, the density is really nice. I don't think I can achieve the same smoothness with the sk6812 even if I use a diffuser?. Also, the SK6812 is 5 volt. Which means I have to do at least three power injections with my 90ft project. Oh yeah I also watch your other video and this WLED indeed has a microphone just like the other one, but this controller is better put together vs the other one which is exposed. Also I like this one because it has 24 volt power which means you can power long LEDs strip better than the 12v or the 5v. The only question I have is which one gives better individual colors and saturation, The Cob or Sk6812. Thanks.

[@smody121]

Another great vid Chris. One thing I'll mention is that the light intensity effects the diffusion as well, so it matters if you're testing max brightness vs. real-world applications (for those who have space constraints)

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks buddy! Very true! I adjusted the brightness down so that the camera picked it up as true to life as possible. On max brightness, cameras wont be able to pick up much color and everything just looks crazy bright. Good call out! Thanks for the comment!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much!! That's a great question! I just do this for fun so I wouldn't know where to begin if I was trying to turn it into a business. But one thing I would maybe try doing is going around to small local shops and asking if you could do something at their location and ask that if anyone comments on your work that they give them your contact information if they want something similar done. Lol maybe that's a bad idea but its one that just popped into my head.

[@DavianFN]

I’m literally using the COB LEDs and diffuser channels at my setup lol. What a coincidence. Great vid as always

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Lol that's awesome! I'm late to the party but they are finally reasonably priced that I think a lot of people will try getting some to try out for themselves!

[@J0ermungand]

Nice, thank you. I actually used black aluminum corner profiles (with black diffusers) and a COB RGBA strip and put that all around the edges of my gaming table. When off they're stealthy, just blending in with the table itself. And when turned on it's like the entire edge glows. Those COB strips are trivial to diffuse, since they almost don't need them (especially on a higher brightness level/also consider there are different levels of density on those COB strips as well).

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! That sounds like a great setup! What black channel did you use? The only ones I found I was able to see through the black diffuser pretty easily. Yeah considering the 4.8mm diffuser actually did a pretty good job, you certainly don't need much and I would assume a good number of people would be completely happy with no channel at all. Thanks for the great information!

[@terrysavage5816]

I have used these strip lights in all my projects. I was thinking of trying this as well. I could not afford to buy them and test them myself so ty. I used 2 1 meter strips in the spotless corner diffuser. Those cost more. To make sure it worked out. It does they are a little wide for 2 strips but work well and very bright. I was just sure to line the segments up well so it looks like 1. The ones you testested here will save alot of my cost when using them over spotless. Ty again.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

You are very welcome and thanks so much for watching! Sounds like you had a great idea to make it work! Thanks for sharing!

Nice video Chris as always! I was wondering how you managed to get your colors to fit so perfectly with the displayed pictures during the demo at the end? Is it by trial and error or you have some special tool to help?

[@razthelizardking86]

First of all, it looks awesome Chris, you always take your set up to the next level, I did a project with some shelves using that corner profile with 144 leds per meter ws2812b but I'm still getting the hot spots, so now I know how to fix it, once again thanks for the inspiration

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks buddy! Appreciate the love! Wow even at 144 there were still hotspots huh? Is it at least pretty close to perfect?

[@bespey]

Hey Chris, what’s the cleanest best way to do inside and outside corners? Your inside corner on the left side of the room looks great

[@ryans2021]

Heya Chris, question for ya: The width of the LED COB strips per BTFs specs are 12m, but the Muzata channel width for the Corner (V shaped) channel diffusers are spec'd at 10mm. Your video shows how well they work regardless, but did you have any trouble installing the COB strips in the V channel diffuser frame?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching and great question! You are absolutely correct. The strip is slightly bigger than the flat part of the diffuser that the strip goes to but they stick just fine and doesn't effect the performance at all.

[@Vesssss]

What's the model of the TV? Thank you for your great content!

[@robinpatterson8754]

Thankx for your great videos. I have never tried using this kind of lighting, and I have a kitchen island that i want to add LED lights under the overhang edge of the top. the top is a simple rectangle, 10' X 4' So 10' + 10' + 4' + 4' is 28' Can i join two lengths to give me a single loop, and just do a power injection between the two sections. I want to have the ability to let the light "chase" around the top.

[@elton_lv]

Hey Chris, Enjoying your vids, watched almost all of them. On this project did you just use one ESP 32 Conttoller ? I'm about to do a LED multi-strip horizontal display and was going to use an ESP 32 per strip. The way you have done works well for me, I'm just not sure how you got it all done (+- 15 meters) all with on ESP #@ and those great unsync'd and sync'd effects.

[@leloupgris]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the video. I have a couple of projects planned and this will help me out. While looking for the COB LED on BTF seller profile in Aliexpress, these exact same strips are advertised as not compatible with WLED/ESP32 controllers and require their own controller BTF lighting. I am pretty sure it is just a way to force you to buy their own ontroller but wanted to make sure. I see you are using WLED, so should not be an issue.

[@jakecanten3246]

[@gligoran]

Loving your videos! I just did my first LED project mostly following your tutorials. Have you ever tried a mini ESP32 controller? Like a D1 mini ESP32. I'm searching for something like that that would allow me to pack things in a tiny box as most of these controllers and power supplies take up quite a bit of space.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I have yet to try one of those mini controllers but I would imagine it would work about the same! if you do try it out, let me know how it goes!

[@8Arachne8]

I know this video is 9 months old, but I’m trying to create a a base board in which you can’t see where the light is coming from. Wondering if the 4.8mm would be good enough if you can’t see the diffuser channel, just have the light glowing downward, or if the light, about 3 inches off the floor would be fine? Would I even need a diffuser channel? Only reason I’m considering one is for easy replacement of the LED strip if/when it has any issues.

[@skypool100]

How would i use one driver/controller feeding x4 alcove ahelve lights? Is it just take the x2 wires from each light into a crimp connector then the controller? Thanks

[@QR4X]

Hey, cool video! I'm thinking of putting these on my bed but want to know if they give off a nice warm white light. Mind sharing your thoughts?

[@robprintz1519]

Hi Chris, I'm brand new to LED lighting. I'm curious about 2 things. First, I really like the movement effects of the lights in the video, and I'm not sure if that is sound reactive, or a program? Second, I want to install a similar system outside (70' in 10 foot sections). Are the LED's you used suitable for outside? If not, what would you recommend? I mostly want white, but the color effects are awesome! Thanks for the awesome video! I didn't even know about diffusers until I watched it!

[@jackies_world]

Hi Chris did you see Govee now has an LED strip with diffuser channels all in one package?

[@ichbinvielzuklein]

Still waiting for Govee to jump on those Cob rgbic strips with reasonable lengths. The great thing about cobs is that you can use really low profile diffusers that don't stick out like a sore thumb from the wall. And corner diffusers can be lower profiled too. From my own research, I figured out that you need 60+ leds/m for a 16mm high profile. For corner diffusers, you either need big ones that have enough clearance or need more than 120leds/m for smaller diffusers.

[@OmryAviry]

For the toe kick of the kitchen cabinets will you go for a corner profile or a regular one?

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

I prefer the shallowest non-flexible channels for COB. But with COB, a diffuser cuts the light by 30% and really hampers your maximum brightness. So when I use channel with COB I leave the diffuser off. (I've only been doing kitchen under cabinet where it doesn't matter)

[@abrarchowdhury5078]

Very informative video man! I was windering if you could make a video about custom pucklights that use wled?

[@Kingkujo1988]

What would you recommend if i wanted the same set up but recessed into the drywall?

[@mrphoto]

Would you consider using the 6mm diffusers in under kitchen cabinet lighting?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

I would probably go with the 4.8mm one for under the cabinet and if the light is somewhat hidden, I wouldn't even put on the diffuser covers. At least for me, if its in the kitchen, I'm wanting things to get as bright as possible. But if your just wanting some nice soft light but don't need it as bright as it can possibly go, then I would still go with the 4.8mm kit. That's actually what I used in my undercabinet kitchen video I did a while back and its still working great today!

Thanks for watching! Possibly if you could find one that's more opaque. The one I'm using is milky white but maybe there is something else out there that is a little thicker or opaque.

[@Jake-dz2zi]

Did you use a correlating corner piece for each size channel or are these just butted up against each other to make a continuous channel?

using the 6mm channel, can you do a side by side with the 4pixel per inch an the Cob?

[@GRJOHN360]

Hello Chris. Quick question. Do you think that a combination of 6mm around a standing desk (like yours gaming setup) and Muzata U Shapes u108 on the walls (with sk6812) are gonna look good? I mean the lighting is gonna be equal/same or maybe you can see the difference because of different channels? Your setup has muzata everywhere.

[@b-kor]

Have you gotten a chance to test out Muzata U107 with COB strips? Could be even better than the U1SW

[@NickeyMouse]

I know you didn't mention it, but how much do the diffusers affect perceived brightness? I ask because I'm planning a 12M+3M*4 (12M is perimeter, 3M*4 is corners) and right now my total cost using the 96LED/M Muzata strip you showed is just around $300 depending on the prices of the day. Since I'm planning on running the perimeter strips where the wall meets (10ft) I've been debating buying COB no diffusion since the strip will be hard to see that high to save money and gain brightness. But, since you have everything in hand: If all the strips will be white most of the time to be used as main lighting (yes I want it dim) and effects will be used some of the time do feel that the Muzata is the best bang for the buck or do you have a different recommendation for that? Also big thanks for all the videos you do with this stuff. I was able to use your Govee perm light guide to install mine this year without any issues, and I'll be getting into WLED using the same lessons with this project!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great questions! The muzata strips are a great bang for your buck. But if your main goal is to have them be white and your main lighting source, I would probably look at a strip that has a dedicated white led built in like the sk6812 leds. Or maybe at the very least order 1 of the muzata ones to see what you think of the white color. I also believe there is a cob strip out there now that does have a dedicated white light that Ill have to see if I can find. So many options to consider! I know its overwhelming at times.

[@csimet]

Good review. For me, the minor hotspots on the shorter channels do not matter as I'm mounting these as under cabinet lights and you will not be looking at them directly. I just want a channel to mount the lights to and cover them for easy cleaning and a contained finished look.

[@FLAWLESS_NEWB]

So which diffuser is the cheapest?? I'm guessing the 4.8mm??

[@chriss2501]

You were using a 12V LED strip which means that one IC controls 36 LEDs. That's why one segment of several centimeters always have the same color. If you use a 5V LED Strip instead, one IC only controls 2 (!) LEDs. This would give you even a better result. However, depending on the length of the strip, the current could become a problem...

[@azmathiffath]

for 25 meters how many watts power supply need?

[@emalior5000]

Go to btf lighting select the strip you want and in the description it will tell you the maximum watts it draws per meter at 100% brightness white. Then times that by 25. Make sure to match the power supply voltage to your strip.

Why do those LED strips have to be lit in groups and not each single LED?

[@velvetjones8634]

These are COB lights and COB lights aren’t individually addressable (individually controllable).

[@lancerobbins24]

These COB strips go about things differently than the typical 5/12v do. Quindor has a great in depth breakdown video on these “addressable neon” strips (quick search here on YT). Each cut point is just about an inch apart and there are 100 per 5m strip. They are great in long runs being 12 or 24 volt. I lined my roofline this year with these in the corner channel Chris showed in this video. I waterproofed them with caulk and packaging tape (these are not outdoor IP65+ rated). Worked out well and all the neighbors have commented about my permanent LED lights.

Unfortunately most 12 and 24v strips are not individually addressable. I'm sure there is a good reason but I couldn't tell you why. I'm not the smartest guy in the world. But I would check out Quindor's channel. He is incredibly smart and i'm sure would know!

[@タブーです]

Please tell me what Diffuser I can buy at a reasonable price. I don't care if it's not Amazon.

[@mortenhyvejle]

I don't care about the LED's, I just want that TV 😂

I was slightly nervous the entire time starting about 5:00 seeing the dangling wires right next to the power outlet.

[@TheOGProtestantMormon]

[@mysterious_mysterious69]

how much would this exact set up cost with 3 rolls of cob lights

[@intertan]

Anyone use those silicone LED diffusers?

Nice comparison. Just out of curiousity (re. your sponsor) ... do we really think that the "marketing companies" who are breaching people's privacy, have stolen personal details and are sharing / selling this information are really likely to pay attention to a request from Aura to delete data from their records? It's a bit like when you receive spam email: DO NOT REPLY TO IT OR UNSUBSCRIBE (unless it's from a well-known provider) as all you're doing is confirming that your email address exists ... which means that email address gets added / sold for another spam initiative. Technically, YES, Aura does what it promises to ... but their approach is not actually a good strategy.

I liked your DIY content more... this review is nice but nothing that I want to watch instantly if the video drops. When you did more DIY stuff I did that

What do you think you have to use in order to make DIY? He doesn't forge his own aluminum and manufacture his own led strips. JFC.
