Links do
Not work
Been searching for about 2 hours for a easily accessible 60 led strip and thought it didn’t exist till this vid. Great comprehensive vid, thanks!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you liked the video!
Im surprised they haven’t made 90 degree adapters that include an LED that you can solder on
Thanks as always for watching! Yeah I'm surprised as well at just the overall lack of easy ways to do corners. They would make a killing if they offered that! You can only do so much with a straight line!
They have them, with clips
But unfortunately the clips don’t fit in the aluminum channels
Design some
LED Cool Lights manufactures 90° PCB with LED corners or without for some of there clients when requested.
Hi great video
Do you think these are bright enough as sole white lighting for a 4m2 bathroom running round the perimeter of the ceiling (8m of strip) or just as effect lighting? Thanks 🙏🏽
This is your second video I watched, your soldering video being the first. I didn't get to this video from that video I was just searching more videos on LEDs, you are now the only second person I have subscribed to! Awesome video sir thank you!
Hey Chris - love the videos. Just completed my setup for lighting all around the top of my office/game room. Loving it - used the same channels and gave the M1s a try.
I absolutely love this channel from the to the point videos and tutorials subbed awhile ago and keep looking forward to home project idea
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate the support and i'm glad you are liking the videos!
Saw these and will be swapping out my current Govee strips for these new sets. Love the density of the LEDs and from what I have seen so far, they are even brighter overall. So def gonna grab a set or two of these!
They certainly are a step above their previous version! Also I can confirm that they are much brighter! Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent video and quite informative for those of us that had no idea this type of lighting was so dyi friendly. Thanks for the video!
Thank you. Someone finally mentioned the name of the lightstrip that's perfect!!! Now to order it and try it I'll be back
Chris, it looks so good! Not only is the product really nice, I hope Govee stocks these at Swedish Amazon soon! But your install is as always amazing! Love the final pic/vids, it looks really awesome ❤😃
Thanks Chris! Hopefully they are available soon over there! Does your amazon have most of Govee's products or is it pretty limited? Good to hear from you as always buddy!
@@ChrisMaherDIY As always, Thanks for the reply 😃 Swedish Amazon has some Govee products, but certainly not all of them. There was a T1 product that seemed to be interesting, but quite "expensive" around USD $150 that looks at your TV with a camera and controls LEDs behind the TV, like ambilight from Philips. Then there are some other LED strings and such, but really few products. I hope they'll get some more to the Swedish part as well, but I guess we're not that "important" 😂😃
@@ChrisFredriksson Lol if they ever ask me for what they could do to improve their company, I'll say "make sure you stock Swedish Amazon with all your products"
@@ChrisMaherDIY Haha, sounds good 😂😀
omg this is exactly what I have been looking for. im putting a airplane runway in one of my room with a huge plane and I painted a runway and wanted the led's do just run down the stip in a sequence like they do on a real runway and Ive been looking all over and this is now going to work. thank you.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Sounds like a great idea!!
Man what that sounds so cool 😭 have you posted it somewhere?
Lights looks awesome bro respect
Great video!! Exactly what I was looking for. Everything was perfectly explained. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching and glad you liked the video!
I have all Govee in my office and have been decently pleased. For my primary lights along the walls I have the 32 ft, which is 15 pixels/ft maybe? Had been thinking I'd have to do a custom build if I wanted more density and overall brighter. But this seems like a good solution!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I agree! Govee really is the best when it comes to plug and play options and I dont even think there is a competitor at this point but i've always been bummed that they did not offer a higher density pixel led strip. So glad they finally came out with this as 60 leds per meter is the sweet spot for so many projects!
32 feet at 99/6ft you’re talking 600 bones yo versus the $45 or so for the one you have
@@zgjfinance2796 The M1 is 16ft, but due to the LED density, I'd only need one to outdo the density/brightness of my current strip. So only looking at 99, or maybe 200 if I want to still have 32ft. And 200 is what some folks spend on a light fixture so 🤷♂️
Govee always crushes the competition and I own so many of their products it's insane. However, I would love to see the capability to assign a different color to EVERY LED especially in DIY mode, rather than the current grouping of three LED's (or six in some cases) So far, only the Hex panels offer this but I won't quibble. Great review and I'll probably add these to the collection soon.
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! I 100% agree. Having control of every single led strip is the next big thing they can improve on. It would open up the door for so many more animations!
It must be a grouping of three leds because its a 12v led strip. Vitaleds has 5V led strips and than you're able to control every single led individually
Yeah I think these strips have a third of all LEDs actually adressible, maybe to make it cheaper
Bro the govee app is by far the best one I’ve ever seen from an LED strip company, but it still absolutely sucks
THANK YOU THIS IS EXACTLY THE VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR
You tested it and sold it to me! Thank you Sir! Thank you so much!!!
You are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
What would get me really excited is if Muzata released a "corner" channel/diffuser that gave the same effect as this channel you used for the neon effect. I have not found ANY corner (V shaped) channels that have enough distance between the channel and diffuser to give a spotless neon look.
I wish I could like this comment 100 times! I wish they would come out with something like this as well! They easily could! They might need to increase the distance a little from the led strip to the diffuser to create a spotless look but It cant be that hard to make one! They would sell a ton of those!!
I made a couple of corner lights running pairs of strips with LEDs offset by.one. Zoom meeting.lights behind computer desk as well as nigjtlighting duties. They give me a near spotless.look on all settings. But beware - once.you have the distance it comes with a larger cross section and with the edges at 90deg they get very rigid. If your corners aren't perfect they won't bend to fit. Mine constantly come off the tape and screws would be needed to pull them flat. I will swap them out for a flat channel soon.
Do you mean for running down the wall where 2 walls meet??
@@LeafsLover1393 Yes.
Good stuff..I'm going to be using this vid to do my son's room. Any suggestions for corners? Angle connectors???For top wall mounts should I use the u or v .SOrry I'm a mom..lol..Also where did u get lights under you're tv.Thanks bunches
As always, awesome video Chris! Any ideas or recommendations for outdoors? My house is all Govee and I wanted to do something for the holidays. Looking to create a diffusion channel to protect from the elements and also provide that nice glow. Lighting across the front profile of the house is the goal. Thanks for everything you do!
Thanks as always buddy! I think the neon rope lights come waterproof so that's always an option. I just used those on my deck video I just made and they are holding up great. But these diffuser channels although not waterproof would look perfect for diffusing the light and getting that nice glow but would probably have to mount them underneath an overhang or on the underside of the gutter to help protect from rain! At some point I'm going to start putting these on my house but that's a new level of commitment that I'm not quite ready for lol.
We will launch our first outdoor permanent lights in October! New option for the holidays light decoration!
Good Job Man!
Thx 4 your video.
Excellent video I want these! That neon blue color is just the best 💙 reminds me of my grabber blue mustang
Thanks so much! I agree! the neon blue / teal is my favorite as well! That mustang comparison is spot on!
You may have just saved me a lot of time with this video! I do have a quick question, is it possible to extend these strips longer than 16.4 feet? I figure there may be a loss of power or some issues with the app if it's not designed to go further. I would loved to have these but longer! As always, you're the best Chris!
I initially thought you couldn't extend them but I just plugged in a second strip to the end of the first one and hit refresh segments and the second strip lit up and seems to be working great. Everything is being run off only the 1 power supply.
Do you think that you can add a third strip without loss of power?
@@openhalf have you tried it? i want to do sth similar with 4 1m strips soldered together
Govee weren’t the only ones who absolutely crushed it with their M1 LED strip, you did too with this video! 👍🏻
Thank you. 🙏🏻
Yes they did! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words. Glad you liked the video!!
Thank you so much. I am so glad I follow you. I just return two Govee RGBIC because of the cut issue. TY
You are very welcome and thanks for watching as always! Yeah I'm super glad they were able to address that with this strip!
Finally indeed! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome and thanks for watching!! Appreciate the support buddy!
Hey Chris! This looks great! Do these strips necessarily need the diffuser now that it has that layer on top of the LEDs already? Also, how do they perform as the primary light in the bedroom? Are they able to stay bright as a semi warm color? Or a color thats conducive for working?
Thanks so much for watching! If you don't care about seeing the individial led lights then you certainly don't need a diffuser. But if you want them to have that even glow, then this diffuser that I'm using in the video one is the only one I have seen that will accomplish this. As far as your primary light in a room, I'm sure it would work for some but I personally don't think I would use it as a primary light source. The whites are decent but not great. Its hard to explain but after working with the COB led strips in my undercabinet lighting video, these just don't quite compare to those as far as white level performance.
Hi Chris,
How long have we been waiting for this!
Now the question is, you prefer this app or wled.
Ohh man, I thought I already replied to this but looks like I didn't! My bad buddy! Overall I still like the WLED experience better but this is getting very close and when you combine the simple plug and play nature of this strip, I think its almost a toss up. But its also going to depend on your use case. If I have a project that only requires lets say 30 leds, I'm going to have a hard time justifying buying this 100 dollar strip for that amount of length so I think its really going to come down to what your trying to use them for!
govee has always impressed me with their products
Thanks so much for watching! They really do a great job in the plug and play market. No one better than them from an overall offering and integration standpoint.
I found the 16 feet one, great information. thanks man.
Looks great! Glad they're finally embracing us DIYers
Its about time! I've been waiting about 2 years lol. Nice to have a 60 led/meter plug and play option if you dont want to go the other rout of led strip, controller, power supply, wires etc! Hope all is well buddy!
Your videos are the best, thank you for the content!! These seem like exactly what I was looking for. However, for my use case I need around 70ft of strips for a bedroom ceiling. Wonder if there's a way to make these work? If I individually power them will the app play nice? Can I change effects for them all at once?
Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate the support buddy! So you can connect 2 strips together to create 1 long 10 meter run. The app also has a feature where you can sync same models together so you can control them all at once! So to get close to the 70ft, you would need 4 of these and after connecting them together you would have 2 sets of 2.
@@ChrisMaherDIY Exactly what I was wondering. I couldn't find sufficient info on the app's functionality to know if that was possible. Thanks so much, you're the best!
Been wondering this for so long thanks lol!
Awesome video ! I see lot of effort put into it ! Thank you !
One wish i have would be to automatically link the color of the screen with the light strip as well as you did in the picture/video.
You did really great !
Thanks! Since i'm just using my projector, i'm not aware of how I can do the automatic screen matching so I just quickly manually adjust things for the pictures. Although the Govee TV immersion kits do a great job of syncing automatically. They are not perfect but they are about as good as it gets in my opinion. They just came out with a new one recently that I'll be reviewing very soon! amzn.to/3xVWvSe
Cool stuff. Thanks for doing this.
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching buddy!
Great Video. Curious how these would perform outdoors under an eaves or overhang on the house. Thinking this would solve my Christmas lights forever then allow me to use year round! May be an idea for a future video with a 3 month check in to see how they are holding up in the elements if possible.
Another TH-camr covers this. It's what I am working on now, but I use the 45 degree channels instead of the deep ones he shows in this video.
Thanks so much and That's a good question! They have the clear coating over them which I think means they can withstand a little splash here and there but they are not ip67. I'm sure some type of channel would provide enough protection to keep them up year round but being that you cant at this time combine for example 3 of these to work as one, it might look a little choppy if they are not all working in unison if that makes sense.
45 degree channel is a good idea! Have you been able to find one of those that perfectly diffuses a strip that has 60 leds per meter?!
@@ChrisMaherDIY No, and I guess I should mention I am using WS2812B LED strips instead, with the IP65 option for added protection with the weather. And I picked the 30LED/M for lower power consumption. It's very noticeable to see each individual LED, but as a year-round Christmas light setup, I am not bothered at all by it. You gave me inspiration for an indoor project I want to do, and I believe the deep channels you show in this video are the best diffusers at 60+/M. However, have you looked into the silicone gel LED "neon" diffusers? There are many different types and I wonder if one of them diffusers well. I actually bought one of them to test out, but haven't yet
@@Zinic_ Ahh gotcha! Much better option for permanent displays! I've seen those silicone diffusers and I've used a couple different ones and I think they are great for certain use cases! Some of them require you to thread your own leds through the diffuser and that's not an easy process. Also if you want to make straight lines, i think its easier to use the aluminum profiles then the flexible gel diffusers. But if you need to make any type of smooth curves/turns, the gels work great for that!
Hell, if this doesn't get you sponsored I don't know what will! 😉
Lol thanks as always for the support buddy!
Definitely gonna use this for my next project.
Thanks so much for watching! You wont regret it!
Great video. 👍👍👍👍
Do you think it’s possible to make the strip longer? Maybe double up in length to 32ft and still maintain the features or will power be limited?
They sell a 32ft version
Thanks so much for watching and great question! As of right now, you cant make it longer with Govee's app/configuration. I'm sure there is a way to connect these up with a different controller and kind of hack your way into 2 strips but at that point, you would probably just use other strips that are better suited for that type of setup.
Update: Update: I plugged in a second strip to the end of the first and in setting hit refresh and the second strip fired up and everything seems to be working just fine! They are only using 1 power block and the 1 controller that is connected to the first led strip. I might put together a quick 1 minute follow up video going over this.
@@11393 where?
@@ChrisMaherDIY The Govee M1 news release on several websites state you can combine two kits to get a 10m strip.. I wonder if it's true? I could use 32ft for my garage.
@@ra9564 Should be easy since they're 24V strips.
What’s that Song at the beginning ?
Thanks so much for watching. Sorry for the delay! The song is called Night Colors by Dope Cat. I found it on a paid copyright free music subscription I have. I loved the song too!
So cool! I ordered 3 tubs of the govee today definitely wanting to try this for so long I finally moved into my new built house 2 days ago so have a clean slate to work with! Think my next step Is the defusers and how many I'll be needing for something something around the rip of the roof
Aweseome! Thank you! Govee is the best!
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support as always!
In my experience govee is one step above junk. I still have 2x of their TV kits which are mediocre at best and a couple of their 32' kits that are a total joke as they are simply 2x 16' strands linked together by a 20 inch wire.
The fact that these sre powered by a 3amp power brick should tell you that they are not meant to do anything hut look pretty.
Find separate components that are high quality and go that route. I use rwo types of controllers a zigbee one that works with the hue app and a Quinn led controller which will give you far more control than anything from govee.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I really do like Govee products but like you mentioned, I don't use their light strips for my main lighting source in any room. I also love going the DIY rout with getting a separate controller, led lights, power source etc, but Govee has done a great job of providing options for what I believe is probably the majority of consumers who don't have the time or desire to go down the DIY path to led lights. Thanks for the feedback and appreciate the support!
Great video! Had a question for you, I’ve got 5 zones where I’m putting these in my crown molding. The lengths are ~60ft for each zone. Would these work without dimming/dropping voltage toward the end of the run? And what’s your take on adding 4 of these at 16ft each for each zone?
love the setup bro so much speaker envy right now
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you like the setup!!
Great video, thank you!
You are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
I'm glad I came across this video. Recently, I had an idea to build and LED light table that would be fun to use and be compatible with trading card games my friends and I play. These LEDs look nice and functional, with many interesting interactives that I think would make playing our card games a lot more fun. Thank you. Now, I know what LEDs I'd like to use.
Now, the only thing left is to figure out what else to do.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! That is a great idea! lol and thats the fun part! Figuring out how it can all come together! I would love to see how it turns out if you end up doing it!
Nice video, man!
Thanks so much for watching!
The best Comercial I have seen so far!
Thanks for watching! Lol I wish they would pay me to use this as a commercial!
Great video! I was reading that these Govee cannot be cut down smaller than 3m? I have two bookshelves on each side my TV. What would be the best LED light strip? Each shelf would need 2’, with wire running to each next level. Apple home kit integration would be a great plus too.
Really useful informative video. Govee are really producing some great products.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I agree! They just keep coming out with new things!
Your video and audio quality is getting better and better. Can you share the music used for this video? Love it.

I swear, Govee is one of the best bang for your buck smart home manufacturers. I have their smart bulbs, kettle, and several other devices and they just don't miss. Their app integration is also above average
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I for sure agree with you! Glad you have had a good experience with their products!
i totally agree
Got these lights ( or very similar) that are pre-diffused from Govee. Their controller and light produced is spectacular!
That's awesome! Did you buy the neon rope lights by any chance?!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Yup, those are the ones. A bit pricy, but I got em on sale. No hot spots even at the corner I have. Same app control and settings.
@@jstriker90 I just used their neon rope lights in a deck video I just did and I really liked them as well! Also loved that they were waterproof!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I'll go check it out! They definitely look great, albeit a little pricy. Good to know that they're waterproof! Lol
Can you connect multiple strips ? Can you wire up wled for more customization? Ok for outside use ? under eve's ?
I just got a 20 meter outdoor led strip for 100 bucks. Perfectly diffused out of the box
That's awesome! Is it single color or RGBIC? What brand is it. I'd love to check it out!
What did you buy exactly?
@@Sndr321 ECD Germany 20m outdoor led light strip
hello chris, would you use the diffuser to lay the M1 behind a 85 inch tv for backligting or just use the m1 without diffuser?
Great video, I'm just getting started with Govee but my question for you is about the screen and what's on it. Is that projection and what are you using? Thanks in advance.
Hey mate, I’m doing this exact setup right now but need to know what type of mitre saw and what specific circular saw blade should I be using for clean cuts on the channels?
Looking forward to the syncing up with the TV Lights. 🌆
Me too buddy! Thanks for watching! My t2 is coming soon so i'll be doing a video on that and will try to incorporate these new led strips into the room somehow!
Been watching a ton of your videos since I will be redoing my game room. Just to get a better idea, how many strips did you have to use in total for this setup ? Thank you so much!
these are awesome but i have around 100-120ft of perimeter of my room and i really cant see my self sauntering wires without feeling as if i may mess up and lose out on $80, any suggestions for longer strips?
This may be stupid question.. but can it be used for kitchen cabinet undermount lighting? I searched for that originally and your video came up.. what means it? Can be used in the kitchen? Sorry if sounds silly.. anyways your video was still interested and great demonstration
(My bad for bad English not 1st language) great job!
Good content
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
They look amazing, iv just done my pc room with the older ones. Typical, took me ages to get them up and as soon as I do they bring out better ones lol. Thanks for the video
Lol that's the only downside to new things coming out! Thanks so much for watching and appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I really enjoyed the video, and it was very useful, thank you! I was wondering which specific diffuser you used, because the link in the description shows a few different ones. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Here is the one I used: amzn.to/3FUXMxj I think they also come in 2 meter sections as well.
Question, i have a project i am starting that requires this level of diffusion, but in a low weight compact outdoor 12v application (needs to be waterproof), led's need to be addressable for a single bouncing chase animation only, I have admittedly fallen out of the loop on what is available so in your opinion could this work for such an application?
Or is their another product you are aware of that would work better?
pin LED Strip Connector T & L Joiners are available for those right-angle corners, so no soldering is required.
Thanks so much for watching and for the recommendation? Do you by any chance have a link to some that would work? I have yet to find any! I know I've found a lot of 4 pin connectors that are for 10mm wide strips but I have yet to find any 4pin connectors that are meant for a 12mm wide strip like the Govee M1 is.
@@ChrisMaherDIY Ahh yes, I think your right, those are actually what I'm referring too. You really are a detailed expert. Nice.
Great video. What are some cable management solutions when mounting on the ceiling? Where do you put the power supply and controller for a clean look?
Thanks so much for watching! So its not perfect but I just run the wires in something like thisamzn.to/3ENCNMp down to my outlet. the controller does not fit so I just have the tracks butted up close against it. Its not perfect but I don't have the desire to do the work required to put in my walls behind sheetrock.
Would this lighting be good for under cabinet? Is there an option for like a natural light colour?
What are you using to sync your lights to your TV? I don't see the Govee camera anywhere.
your videos are immaculate in production my friend, you convinced me to get into the hobby for my first apartment. you have any recommendations on ways I can hook the hardware to walls without damaging the walls and paint ? Also, can you buy more strip length without a controller ?
Thanks so much!! It's a fun hobby for sure! th-cam.com/video/xkCt85jvI2s/w-d-xo.html in this video I use some 3m strips that worked great!
@@ChrisMaherDIY awesome you're the man !!! I was looking at 3M tape and simply wondered if you had encoutered anything better, i'll watch that right now, thanks :D
How did you hide the control box and do you think it is possible to put that behind the wall?
I'm surprised you still respond to comments on this video! Gotta say, I'm super pleasently surprised by this video because I have been looking for an accesible option for someone who knows squat about led lights!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah, I try to respond to every comment! Although if you reply to my reply, youtube does not do a very good job of alerting me to those so I'm sure I've missed some. Glad you liked the video and led lights are a very slippery slope! Once you get one and you like it, there will generally be many more that follow lol. Thanks again!
Can u solder on addition lights to the same controller for longer led runs?
Finally!
I'm working on lighting a wardrobe closet. Woud you recommend these if I only need white lights? Is there a simpler product with these benefits that uses led strip connectors instead of sodering?
Question, I think you unpacked a single kit but it appears that there are 2 independant strips of the lights working with different programs? Kindly explain, thank you.
Hi there, absolutely awesome video. You explained it so well! Thanks a lot. Is there a way to make the LEDstrip run from A to B once you turn it on? Like a "fill up" animation. And the same backwards when you turn off the light, the strip turns off starting at point B and decreases the number of illuminated led until the last LED turns of at point A again.
Thanks so much for watching and great question! So in the past I believe I was able to get it to do the fill up on a diy animation (I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember doing it) when you turn it on. However, I don't think I've seen anything that would do the power down animation. Grant you the DIY has a ton of options so its possible that its there but its something that I have not seen myself.
Could anyone tell me if these are okey to use on a 77” c2 tv? I know there is the t1 and t2 but not a fan of the sticking out camera! Thanks!
Is this is the widest light strip available. I’m not a fan of the thin ones. Any info appreciated. Thanks your video was great.
If you cut, can you combine for a longer length?
I want to use the LED strip in 5 different slats I am building on slatted wall. Can I cut these strips where a scissors mark is and join them using a wire? After how much distance there is a scissors mark to cut?
Where did you hide the controller and power supply? I'd like to make ceiling lighting but i don't want to break the plaster off the ceiling to hide it in a hole. But running the cable down the corner to a socket also isn't pretty.
Does the M1 allow to be made longer than 5m? If so, what is the max distance for the power supply?
Another great video. I really got interested in doing my room until I looked at the price ,triple what you paid. Thanks again
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah its crazy the price difference from country to country. We have it good here in the US as it seems to be the cheapest they are offered anywhere.
These diffuser channels with the govee M1 vs the govee light with corners complete kit?
I like the fact the muzata comes in 1 meter and 2 meter lengths so less joints and a seemless look but the convenience of just ordering the govee seems hard to pass.
Which one looks better is the question?
Did you test this with adding , does the app readjust for more strips added to the one
I’ll like to use them in my garage. Which motion sensor can you recommend to use with these lights?
They make a great 4 section car strip aswell
I saw that a while back! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
awesome video, very helpful and perfect for diy'ers looking to install unique lighting concepts. Quick question, do you have tutorials on LED Plaster series or can offer any help on this type of application?
Thanks again for watching! In case you didn't see the other post I'll leave the same answer here :) I have yet to dabble in those type of products but at some point I would like to! It would be such a clean look to have that installed in a house! I'll have to for sure put it on my to do list at some point!
Thanks for the video. Question, is it possible to connect two kits together to get double the length from ONE included power supply?
Thanks so much for watching and great question! I did a quick follow up video after this one: th-cam.com/video/iAa0y0-H_-g/w-d-xo.html So I was able to connect 2 strips together and they worked great only using the 1 power supply. I tried a 3rd and it did not work. Hope that helps!
