There has been a new way to make a marking or indication for the cutting positon since then.

[@City-Theatrical]

Yes! Each type of QolorFLEX NuNeon now has a clear silicone window on the side that allows you to see the black line cutting increments. Hope this helps!

I'm late to the show, but could someone explain how he made his tester? I'm good on soldering, cutting, trimming, etc., but need to know how to quickly test connections as I go. Please and thank you!

[@ScottNicholson1973]

Very helpful video. What gauge wire is right for these joins?

[@murphysdoodles]

Scott Nicholson I think it’s 24 g

[@razzyhass3541]

I like to use awg 22-24.

[@City-Theatrical]

Hi Scott, 22g for soldering to the GolorFLEX NuNeon, 18 for the runs from the dimmer to the leads. Hope this helps.

[@DrosIntentions]

Interesting

[@City-Theatrical]

[@shb5157]

[@hawsantiago3697]

What happens if the lenght of the LED needed does not match up with the cutting point?

[@razzyhass3541]

Cut off the rubber , let the led stick out from the rubber . Later, slit open the bottom of the rubber, fold the led then insert it inside the rubber.

[@City-Theatrical]

Hi Haw! Good question. You can the silicone to the length you need then cut the QolorFLEX NuNeon a little short. Is has such a large beam spread it will fill in most of what is missing. Or, Razzy also offered a great idea. Good luck!

[@hawsantiago3697]

Thank you for the replies.

[@bogiszamuel562]

Can i connect another piece of neon flex to another with the middle part soldering method? Will it work?

[@razzyhass3541]

Yes it will.

[@City-Theatrical]

Hi Bogi, we would say no, you can only power one reel in a row or there will be voltage drop issues. Hope this helps.

[@bogiszamuel562]

Thank you, i have tried it eventually, and it worked perfectly!

[@aartiholidaysandtravels8435]

I want that's kind of clips to holding lighting strips can you please share me a link to purchase it

[@MTBZSebastian]

How much length can we connect each other in a strip? And how much amphere smps needed? Can you explain it...

[@City-Theatrical]

Hi MTBZ Media! Technically, you can only one run reel of QolorFLEX NuNeon RGB. Adding more you will need to power from both ends or there will be voltage drop. For the 10m single color tapes, you need to power it from both ends or there will be voltage drop. If you want a continuous run that is longer than a single reel, center feeding is the best route. That way you can but up the ends right next to each other without having voltage drop issues. Amperage restrictions come from the DMX dimmer. You can see our dimmer selection here: www.citytheatrical.com/departmentProducts?dept=e71ecae2-cd2e-49f8-9565-f6a61de65f48&subDept=81b175fb-b839-6b94-9d71-ff00001a956a. If you have more questions, please reach out to our Sales Manager Harrison at 201.559.4224. He can help with layout. Have a great day!
