It's funny how I though about a few days ago for my room but didn't actually look it up anywhere. Nice to see the government mind reading me and giving me suggested vids.
Haven't searched about leds since I got my leds 2 years ago, yesterday they said to burn out. Went to go look for a video about leds, and this was on my recommended.
Keep in mind that it is often recommended to connect the DC power to both ends, so that the power doesn't drop over the 10-meter length.Also, users need to be sure that the power needed by the LED strips does not exceed the power available from the Power Adapter. This is important to consider. The two 10-meter strips you're using each came with a separate power supply, so you may be overloading the single power supply. So if you're installing LED strips, it is important to consider the power needed (number of watts) and the power provided by the power supply.

@@jessemillsap9387 ohh so you can use that rather than soldering the 4 pins ? I always soldered the 4 pins when I needed to form a rectangle for either my TV or my mirror :)))
I put them on 2 days ago. When i woke up the next day they were in my bed and on the floor. What you should try to do is to use (other than the adhesive of the led lights itself) is to use the extra adhesive roll and apply it to the entire led strip. You could also use mounting techniques which holds the led strips very well. I hope this helps.
I'm confused. I'm getting these LED lights soon, and I wan't to make sure I'm setting them up right. My room is a weird shape, and its making me have to get 2 packs of the LED lights, and I don't understand how you connected the 2 different packs so that everything is in sync. Is there any way that I can attach them together so that I won't have to use 2 remotes and just use one instead? Please help if anyone knows. Have a great day everyone!
You`ve got a suspended ceiling so you could have put a feed in a length of trunking, would be minimal cost which you could have hidden in the corner recess by the window, so no obtrusive, up into the ceiling where you could have placed the transformer and connection. The best effects are all in the detail.
You could utilize your drop ceiling and make the wire go up so that you don't have to see a wire down the wall. There's power up there, the lights plug or are wired in somewhere...
Hey Matt I have few points to make1. The power cable that goes up is a bit annoying so you can hide the reciever and the power supply up in the ceiling and share the mains power with the ceiling lights. Trust me its bot that hard2. I would suggest upgrading the power supply because i don't think so the power supply would be able supply full power to both the strips. 3. If possible use diffuser channels for the leds. Sorry for my poor english.
Alan Pena but remember that you turn off the lights, which makes the strip blend in the dark. But yes it doesn't look visually appealing when the lights are on (or room is lit)
I've read a lot of reviews on amazon about this product and they say the adhesive does not stick at all. Can someone let me know if the adhesives are really that bad? I already bought one and it hasn't arrived yet, do I need to put extra double sided tape because of the poor adhesive that comes with the product, or do I need to wipe the area on the wall before I put it up?
Big tip, put the LEDs on celling not the wall that way you can use a downward facing diffuser, and also get a color wash down the white walls, I've done it myself and the only reason people are doing it on the wall is pure laziness as you need to cut at every angle and splice cable on corners, take the time and the effect is well worth the extra time.
@@nathangray8354 He's giving a helpful tip to make it look much better. You can't just put an LED strip on the wall, like in the video, without using an led diffuser ( imgur.com/a/JvBroiI ). It looks hideous when it's bare naked like that.
Good to see someone from/promoting NC! I like Carolina, but if you went to NC State (a good engineering school) you would know could never wire "150 feet" of those! ;) You shouldn't have wired more than one. The voltage drop is significant over a length of 5050 RGB LEDs. 16ft is usually the max without power injection, maybe 30 (will need a high current power supply). But the lights will be dimmer towards the ends and the color will shift as well as all of them being dimmer than they should. You will overheat your strips, burnout the LEDs and burn out the power supply. Anyone trying this will need to look up "power injection" for 5050 LEDs and determine how best to wire power. In this setup, I would inject the same voltage with another power supply into the beginning of the strip and the end. The lights you used look like the way they get around part of the problem is to put less LEDs per foot, which is ok as long as you know what you are buying. If these are the same 10M ones that are still being sold they are 24V, so the voltage drop is not as noticeable. 24V are not common, most are 5V and some are 12V.
ok nvm basically i poked holes in the end of one strip (on top of the middle of the copper pieces) and then stuck the pins of the new section of lights through those holes and electrical taped around the attached part. Not the smartest idea but I’m ignorant and didn’t want to buy and wait for a connector but it works and sometimes the colors are a little off but hey it works
It is if you order two separate orders. You should get 2 16.4 strips with a black connector. Then if you want another 16.4 or 32.8 strip the chip will come with it
Sorry, maybe this question was asked before but....HOW have you been able to put all of the LED with only one power source, as soon as I connect more than 5m of LED the second strip doesnt light as much as the first. Where did you bought yours?
They got the really long strips so i'm guessing it only took 2 strips of lights for one room... But the once I have- they have 2 ends and you can just connect them together. HONESTLY he probably could have put both rooms onto one power supply- LEDs are very low power...
There are a million types of LED’s. Due to the spacing, these look like 3528 rgb strips. Could be 12v-20volt dc... or AC. Regardless, you shouldn’t go over 32’ of continuous strip. Connecting another to lengthen it will cause the LED’s to fade out in the ass end and ultimately die out faster. Worst case scenario, the power source is underrated to muscle such a lengthy strip and overloads/burns the building down in a fiery manner.
@@natecohen8491 I believe I misunderstood the comment, but there are led strip light connector clips you can buy on amazon separately. search up "led light strip connector" and you will find some.
In this case, probably soldering. There are also some clips like this one www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B07Y35MGWB/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2YRKMXJE4RK5Q&dchild=1&keywords=led+connectors&qid=1613169854&sprefix=led+connec%2Caps%2C245&sr=8-5
When it comes to the power adapter being strong enough to power all the lights with no power fade towards the end of the light strip. What is the power block power rating?
Thanks for the video. Reviewing the specific lights you bought, it mentioned adding lights to the same power source wasn't recommended as it's power supply is designed to run 10m. It appears yours didn't lose brightness, but wondering how they've held up. Burnt out from lack of power, etc. I had read an example of 300w per 6 strands of lights. I don't know if those were 16ft or 32ft like yours. That said, just wondering if you experienced any issues. My goal is like yours, a 50ft around the room design.
It is not the lights that would burn out in this situation, they are drawing from a smaller pool than was promised them, so it is actually the power supply that will be overworked and probably burn out, though indeed the lights may be dimmer the farther away from the source. There is a searchable equation that can tell you how many LEDs the source can support before that becomes an issue. My *guess* is that the added strip he put in was within the tolerance of the design (though not the advertised margin).
hi, Very easy to install, it has adhesion sticker at the back of LED. I am able to mount it at back of my TV in 10 min. Be aware the 4 pin plug actually has direction, so if it won’t light on, flip and plug again, it will work.
Hi mate, just a question. If I wanted to put lights around multiple object in a room, would you recommend getting separate light strips for each one, or do you maybe have tips for using one long strip and hiding the joining parts of lights? For example, if I wanted the light strips under a desk, then I had another desk a foot away and wanted the light strip under there too, without having a weird join. The main reason is, so that I could control the lights together with one controller. Thanks.
I'm wondering the exact same, I want to connect the strips under my desk but also around my entire room, idk if I should get two separate ones or one single long one
They look better with diffuser. Or make it so the light is actually bouncing of the ceiling or walls not just straight projecting like that where you can see the individual lights on the strip
So did he connect two 10m strips? I’m doing some research and I keep reading that the power supplies aren’t made to power more than 10m so the LED’s beyond that point may not light up right. Is that true? Cause in this case it doesn’t look like he had a problem. I have a room that would require a little over 20m of LED and would love to be able to use a fade function, does anyone know how to make that work?
It’s funny I was just thinking about how I’m going to install led lights in my room a few hours ago. It’s nice to see that the government can read my mind a suggest this vid to me
Yeah I am making a New room to play on PC and consoles but with LEDs it's so much more fun to stay in for a longer time I use my razer chroma lighting just for my PC LEDs for the Wall it is not so extensive
I'm doing a bit of decoration in my usual bland room, I got it cleaned (almost), gonna buy a new TV this weekend, and then install some LEDs, gonna be litty dude
How do you know what power supply to use when you run many feet together, such as the 330ft project you mentioned n the beginning of the video? do you have any handy tips for such calculations?
That's the thing he failed to point out. If the product is nice, they'll tell you how much power the LEDs consume in total or per strip. If not, you may have to dig a bit to find out the LEDs actual power consumption by doing your own voltage testing with a single strip and do the math to subdivide the usage against the length of the strip to find out the usage per segment. Alternatively you can just get a bigger power supply than you would realistically need and power through it, but you may damage the LEDs if you try to push too much power over a super long distance.

@Armend Bejic when did you receive your order because the website says that because of the COVID 19 my package should come in at 2-5 weeks but it has been over a month and I haven't gotten a word from the company yet. Also why do they never respond back to my email or calls?
@ActuallySalamy after a couple of days I got a email from PayPal saying that my order was shipped but after that I have gotten no clue about my order. I think the company is located in Serbia/Austria so our time zones are way different.
Why would you have the cable going from the power strip to the lights go down the middle of the wall? You should try better to hide it, it looks awful. Make it go through the roof, or at least down the corner.
All the led strips come from the same manufacturer. You can find equally good/the same 5m long LED strips on eBay for under 8$. I installed 3 of them two years ago, no problems, as perfect as in the beginning!
Oh Hello There thank you so much! i actually just figured out how to use the black connecter in the video, i taped it onto each end of the strips and it worked!!
I was so confused on why mine weren’t working but it’s because the white strips were plugged into the wire the wrong way. I just unplugged them and turned them facing the other way and it worked! Thank you!!!!
Who else came here to see how to put them up , because you where were on tik tok and saw LED lights one too many times and finally get some but then you don’t know how to put them up 😎😂
u have a drop ceiling dude, u couldve got power from the top real easy or better yet, run the adapter cable up the back corner of the room from where you've got the bags to hide it... also, since your wall is white, a white background light strip wouldve blended a little better... finally u can use a diffuser channel over the lightstrips to help blush out some of the sharp LED light and make it look really professional.

@@nm9tf yea thank u, i actually just found them and am going to order i’m praying they will work
I don’t understand why any tutorial I watch they don’t show how they connect the two strips lol
3:20 bud
In this case, probably soldering. There are also some clips like this one www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B07Y35MGWB/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2YRKMXJE4RK5Q&dchild=1&keywords=led+connectors&qid=1613169854&sprefix=led+connec%2Caps%2C245&sr=8-5
YES FINALLY I was wondering how to connect multiple light strips thank you so much!!!
When it comes to the power adapter being strong enough to power all the lights with no power fade towards the end of the light strip. What is the power block power rating?
Watching his face pull that piece out was priceless
Thanks for the video. Reviewing the specific lights you bought, it mentioned adding lights to the same power source wasn't recommended as it's power supply is designed to run 10m. It appears yours didn't lose brightness, but wondering how they've held up. Burnt out from lack of power, etc. I had read an example of 300w per 6 strands of lights. I don't know if those were 16ft or 32ft like yours. That said, just wondering if you experienced any issues. My goal is like yours, a 50ft around the room design.
It is not the lights that would burn out in this situation, they are drawing from a smaller pool than was promised them, so it is actually the power supply that will be overworked and probably burn out, though indeed the lights may be dimmer the farther away from the source. There is a searchable equation that can tell you how many LEDs the source can support before that becomes an issue. My *guess* is that the added strip he put in was within the tolerance of the design (though not the advertised margin).
So.. When you set up the strips, do you have the LEDs pointing down towards the floor, or sideways (LEDs facing forward from the wall) ??
@Jah Boi Nice, it's quite confusing to tell in these videos how to set up the lights
hi, Very easy to install, it has adhesion sticker at the back of LED. I am able to mount it at back of my TV in 10 min. Be aware the 4 pin plug actually has direction, so if it won’t light on, flip and plug again, it will work.
Hi mate, just a question. If I wanted to put lights around multiple object in a room, would you recommend getting separate light strips for each one, or do you maybe have tips for using one long strip and hiding the joining parts of lights? For example, if I wanted the light strips under a desk, then I had another desk a foot away and wanted the light strip under there too, without having a weird join. The main reason is, so that I could control the lights together with one controller. Thanks.
I'm wondering the exact same, I want to connect the strips under my desk but also around my entire room, idk if I should get two separate ones or one single long one
@@highgaming6444omg same
can you make a video explaining how to connect them?
You just put a connector at the end of one and put another in
this is literally the only video i have found that answered all my questions so thanks for that
Thanks for uploading this, it really helped me in building my own new room
Dude you're so professional what the heck
Hello, quick question. Do you stick the strips upside down on the ceiling? Or just sideways on the wall?
Thanks, I just spent $20.83 on these and I didn’t know how too work them,thanks :)
•P e a c h M i l k • did you manage to set them up? I want to buy some but I’m afraid the glue won’t stick for a long time to my walls
@@xvs01 im gonna use blue tac
What about voltage drop when connecting long strips?
They look better with diffuser. Or make it so the light is actually bouncing of the ceiling or walls not just straight projecting like that where you can see the individual lights on the strip
I’m just wondering how to cut it and have that piece I cut light up at the same time as the other piece🤔
Xheahツ u need another power adapter if u cut the piece off
And it cant at the same time with the other piece
hi torodoki
So did he connect two 10m strips? I’m doing some research and I keep reading that the power supplies aren’t made to power more than 10m so the LED’s beyond that point may not light up right. Is that true? Cause in this case it doesn’t look like he had a problem. I have a room that would require a little over 20m of LED and would love to be able to use a fade function, does anyone know how to make that work?
Thank you for this. I couldn’t figure out how to get them connected seamlessly.
My led strips power gets weaker as much as the strip gets longer. Is that ok?? How come your deosnt
My ceiling has a outlet in the ceiling yay for me 😂🤣
No fair 😂😂
Angelo Chioco Awww lucky ducky .
Angelo Chioco broooooo ur so luckyyy!!!!!!
Luky😡😂😂
I have a outlet too since my room is in the back of the House.
the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen thank you
It’s funny I was just thinking about how I’m going to install led lights in my room a few hours ago. It’s nice to see that the government can read my mind a suggest this vid to me
Jaded Trolls sure
how did you fix them on the wall? that's really why we're all here.
there is a sticky adhesieve on the back of the led
it looks really good, thanks for the vid! I'm scared the adhesive will take my paint off are there any other ways to attach them that are safer?
Is this like a new trend or something I've noticed lots of gamers do this in their rooms and stuff
yes but the thing about led strips is that they are hella expensive to put up. in my case for better looks, it would cost be around $150+
Yeah I am making a New room to play on PC and consoles but with LEDs it's so much more fun to stay in for a longer time I use my razer chroma lighting just for my PC LEDs for the Wall it is not so extensive

My room has a weird shape and I imagine that I need 2 pairs and idk how to connect both of them so I might not even get them :(
Christmas is a great excuse to buy led lights 👍
anyone else just got LEDS for christmas?
LMFAO YES
mans was before the trends 🤭
I'm doing a bit of decoration in my usual bland room, I got it cleaned (almost), gonna buy a new TV this weekend, and then install some LEDs, gonna be litty dude
can you in the next say what the messurees are in meter. for international viewers.
Arthur just use a converter -.- are you dumb?
That should be divide by 3 (approx.)
it’s 10m
Does anyone know how he attached them to the wall next to the ceiling, like did he use staples or what
B.W. Andy adhesive tape on the back
Damn I would’ve spliced white 22/2 wire and cleanly stapled it all along the corner and tucked the adapter above your drop ceiling for a cleaner look.
How do you know what power supply to use when you run many feet together, such as the 330ft project you mentioned n the beginning of the video? do you have any handy tips for such calculations?
That's the thing he failed to point out. If the product is nice, they'll tell you how much power the LEDs consume in total or per strip. If not, you may have to dig a bit to find out the LEDs actual power consumption by doing your own voltage testing with a single strip and do the math to subdivide the usage against the length of the strip to find out the usage per segment. Alternatively you can just get a bigger power supply than you would realistically need and power through it, but you may damage the LEDs if you try to push too much power over a super long distance.
did he connect two sets of 10m strips together?
well nahhhh.
Solder at the ending of the strips.He may using different psu that may support up to 25m led strip
What didn’t you exactly do with that piece ?!!! I wish you demonstrated that more!! also what do you mean by matching the orientation? what orientation are we exactly talking about ؟! how do we match the orientation
ok but how do u stick the box thing to the wall i’m bout to have a mental breakdown
Amazing Me tape
Sadie Bullock right😂 common sense
I got my LED‘s shoplightroom.com. Super reliable website, great quality and very cheap.
yep me too! they are great in service
@lil quincy, Are you sure that the service is great because I ordered my package on April 7th and I haven't received my package yet and it is May 23.
@Armend Bejic when did you receive your order because the website says that because of the COVID 19 my package should come in at 2-5 weeks but it has been over a month and I haven't gotten a word from the company yet. Also why do they never respond back to my email or calls?
@@salwinderpadda5733 You should call them again and again until they pickup or you should ask for a refund.
@ActuallySalamy after a couple of days I got a email from PayPal saying that my order was shipped but after that I have gotten no clue about my order. I think the company is located in Serbia/Austria so our time zones are way different.
bruh, nice vid...very condensed and quick, but detailed explanations.
How much AMPS I need for power supply, per 1 meter of strip?
ATECH ZONE volts divided by ohms
LED pulls next to nothing when it comes to power, I think you're good.
Why would you have the cable going from the power strip to the lights go down the middle of the wall? You should try better to hide it, it looks awful. Make it go through the roof, or at least down the corner.
He said because that area wont show on videos
Y move when u can cover it with d line
Looks amazing, definitely will be buying this lights to use them with my novastarlights projector!
I’ve literally done everything in this video and my led lights refuse light up
Try flipping the 4 pin connector
Thank you! The connecting part confused me.
All the led strips come from the same manufacturer. You can find equally good/the same 5m long LED strips on eBay for under 8$.
I installed 3 of them two years ago, no problems, as perfect as in the beginning!
so this whole time there was a sticky part behind it and i was struggling tapping it omfg i’m so late 💀
oh nah 😂
I’m just here to know how to do the corners and Turing the led lights
Dope video office looks super cool
Cant wait to do this in my apt and bedroom
Thats a fuck ton of trip lights
I just wanted to know how you connect the 2 strips and you didn't show that part :/
Cereal if u figure it out pls let me know too!!
Oh Hello There thank you so much! i actually just figured out how to use the black connecter in the video, i taped it onto each end of the strips and it worked!!
@@susanna2070 that was all i had to do? Tysm ^_^
I was so confused on why mine weren’t working but it’s because the white strips were plugged into the wire the wrong way. I just unplugged them and turned them facing the other way and it worked! Thank you!!!!
what scares me is idk if it’s gonna for my wall because i’m abt to get a 16ft one
celeste lopez omg i wanna get them but im scared ima get the wrong size😭😭
Who else came here to see how to put them up , because you where were on tik tok and saw LED lights one too many times and finally get some but then you don’t know how to put them up 😎😂
u have a drop ceiling dude, u couldve got power from the top real easy or better yet, run the adapter cable up the back corner of the room from where you've got the bags to hide it... also, since your wall is white, a white background light strip wouldve blended a little better... finally u can use a diffuser channel over the lightstrips to help blush out some of the sharp LED light and make it look really professional.
2:16 how did u get that wire to stay up?
Morgan Regan i think he put adhesive on the box
