How to wire and cut 12 Volt LED strips that I purchased on eBay. Red, Green, Blue. 12v weatherproof / waterproof RGB LED strip. They also create a cool white if you light the three colors together. These are ready to plug into a 12 volt power source ie. car battery.
You can use these to put under car lights (Neon) , interior lights, lights in the engine bay. They have many uses!
Here are the exact ones that i'm an using in the video.
www.ebay.com/it...
They are fairly bright, and not to big. The disadvantage that I have seen is that the spacing between the LED's is to big for my uses. Other than that, they are definitely worth the 12 dollars that I paid. I have seen these used in many of the projects that i have seen and even better that they are waterproof!
If my video has helped you, please consider donating to my channel. This shows you really enjoyed the video and would like to see more! Thank you

+jared cochran These are very easy. You just need to connect them straight to a 12 volt battery. In my case it was a car battery. It also doesn't have to be exactly 12volts. I seen them run at 10v and up to 18v but try to keep it close to 12

So I am not to much of a electric and wiring genius, I mean I can figure it out and all but it's gonna be trial and error. So here is where my question comes in, I want to put these on a peddle boat (Wanted something​ that I made improvements to and where I live the lake isn't huge). The way the boat is it has a smooth upper surface that doesn't get wet, yet can still be seen outside the boat, what I want to do is make sure I have enough light for me to be visible at night. Would something like these be okay to use, and if so would it be okay to use a higher voltage battery than what it needs or would it have to have a regulator to make sure the voltage don't short out the light's?

@leonfyahrecords2262
@leonfyahrecords2262 3 года назад
Okay so it would essentially be the same but your need a sensor in the doors like a small magnet device to sense the door being open this connects the loop and turns the light on and off with the door, I plan on doing this for my engine bay in my civic 🤫

after cutting it to a smaller strip consisting of 3 led, how much voltage did it require?
@cmacia06
@cmacia06 7 лет назад
+Phu Nguyen it still requires 12 volts but it uses less current with only 3leds.
@germanylicious
@germanylicious 8 лет назад
What kind of battery are you using? I'm trying to power about 2 feet of RGB 5050 SMD 60/meter lights for about 3-4h non-stop at flash/blink mode and the batteries I keep buying (rechargeable 12V, 3000mAh) just don't do it. I don't know if they seller just has a shitty product or what, but I was sure they should be sufficient.
@cmacia06
@cmacia06 7 лет назад
You have probably figured it out by now but if are using a block that comes with the led strip, they usually draw way more current then they need. This could be the reason why it dies to quickly. I was powering mine from a 12v car battery and it would have lasted days (55000mAh or 55Ah battery). 2ft of led strip is tiny. It should have lasted at least 3 hours. An update if you figured out your problem would be nice!

Christian Macias Hey Christian. thank you for your comment. I actually haven't figured it out yet but have figured that much too, that it should hold up. I just gotten 2 new (each different) battery types in that i'm going to try out. Except the one needs a dual female cable and one of the plug seems it gotten smashed by mail and the other battery requires some suthering (???) of cables. This project has been a fucking nightmare!!!!! I'm so done with it. It should have never been this damn complicated.

HI Macias . Thanks for the valuable info I tried it with a higher power supply it works well . Now I need to know I am going touse a 9 to 10M 5050 led strips lights . Can I use a 24v power supply due to it,s distance and the amount of lights . your advice please
@cmacia06
@cmacia06 7 лет назад
+Sammy sorry for the late reply! You can't use a higher voltage for more leds. You need a supply that can provide more current rather than voltage.

This is great thanks, but how can I connect them to my 12v battery to use all three colours? - led strip 4 terminals - battery 2 terminals.. Thanks John :)
@cmacia06
@cmacia06 8 лет назад
they should have a label that says +12v that one goes to the positive of the battery. The others go to negative. each on will light up a different color
@karenberry9498
@karenberry9498 8 лет назад

lakshmi prabha if you want it on the same strip, you are going to need a digital led strip. it's way more expensive though and complex as well. great option for an electronics hobbyist.

Hi Macias , I have 5050 blue led strip light , it works well , but keeps flashing after I fix it direct to my power supply .what do I need to make flash constantly without flashing .. can any one tell me ... tks
@cmacia06
@cmacia06 7 лет назад
+Sammy it might be your power supply can't handle the amount of current it's consuming. You can either get a more powerful power supply, or cut the strip shorter.
@sammy2888
@sammy2888 7 лет назад
Hi Macias ,Thanks for your swift reply My power supply is 12v 1.2amps 5050 led is 5M ,will try your idea today.Will also get back to you if the same problem arise..

can i use a 9V battery ( a normal pile ) and how is that ?
@cmacia06
@cmacia06 7 лет назад
+dhia eddine mellouli 9v is not a good voltage to use these. It probably isn't enough voltage to turn on the 12v leds. These are led strips that are designed to work on 9v.
@dhiamallouli5120
@dhiamallouli5120 7 лет назад
thats all i got cause i dont have the original battery of the strip and 12V battery is way more heavy. my real problem now is to take advantage of the RGB strip
@Thisfutureman
@Thisfutureman 7 лет назад
Christian Macias nice video , but i want ask are there the same led lights like this but closer placed to each other and are there same leds like thise with a lower voltage use say like 3v ?
@dhiamallouli5120
@dhiamallouli5120 7 лет назад
no i think not the lowest voltage for a led strip i believe is 9V otherwise you can buy seperate LEDS

+Brian Weekly ll I tested these leds and pushed them up to 19v. At 19 volts, they started to burn out and short circuit. They run fine from 11 to 15 volts. They are bright enough to see from about 60ft away at least.
