We both really enjoy your videos, and they have been a huge inspiration for us. Actually, almost two years ago, we decided to make your LED mushrooms, and that was what snowballed into our own channel. Your video and content quality leaves very little to be desired. If we ever create videos half as good as yours, I'll consider the RU-vid project a success. Thanks for all your videos, Matt! /Hansi

@@ILLUMINATORProKit its like any language... just how its said. For some reason US english omits the second i in aluminium, fair enough.

@LexXxusTVLive
@LexXxusTVLive 4 года назад
@@JFat5158 I respect that. Having said that though... Living in Southern Ontario all my life, I can promise you that we don't say 'caramel' that way. We do have carmel candies that are made from caramel. We say it the way it is spelt. With every single letter and not adding an extra tone into it. These are called regional accents. These are preferred social adjustments in the pronunciation. We also say aluminum the way it is properly spelt. Google "aluminium" and you will see it auto changes it to the correct dictionary spelling. You will also see that is is labeled as "noun, adjective British" when you search the term "aluminium" on www.dictionary.com . Aluminium is the spelling of the regional accented word. Not the authentic spelling of the word. These are not my opinions, these are facts I have acquired from education. It's only fun if you don't teach English.

Great idea , the shadowless lighting is huge for me and the high CRI I love, wish it were brighter even though I doubled the run of leds on the arc, I also used cylindrical molds for space efficiency and used and Xt-60 connector for the power and I made a wood top instead of the rocks . Wish the leds were more tightly spaced it would be awesome considering the built in heat sink of the project

To connect positive and negative at opposite ends(as in the last project) is very good practice since it prevents voltage drop along the strip. Especially if you are creating a circle of led strip(no edge with a strong and weak side). Also very nice to hear someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to LEDs

*+Minnie Curry* Aluminium; pronounced A-loo-min-ee-um. Difference being and for reasons I cannot comprehend, there's a letter 'i' missing when the USA citizenry speak of this substance. He mispronounced "project". We of the British commonwealth say pro - ject. Yet he said it the US way as proj - ect. Oh and at risk of exceeding the reading tolerances of many, we say, "caramel" with three syllables but I often hear "car-mell" from the USA. Sounds really odd to me. Funny how language evolves and changes in a relatively short space of time.

@theonetruestickman 4 года назад
It's not too late! Simple wiring is actually simple once you learn a couple rules and have done a couple things wrong the first time. :D You can do stuff like the projects in this video if you remember: 1. Don't do stuff with AC line voltage, always use a low voltage power supply 2. Power supply needs to have the SAME voltage as the device needs 3. Power supply needs to be able to supply equal or greater current than the device needs (this is noted in A or mA - there are 1000mA in 1A) 4. Electricity goes in a loop, normally understood as from positive (+) to negative/ground (-) 5. When you connect + to - without a load device (light, circuit) bad things happen 6. LEDs usually need a driver circuit 7. Just try it out! And look up the things you don't understand.

Not saying that you don't get what you pay for, but I've personally not had an issue with cheap LED strips, plus I don't think too many people care very much about the CRI rating of their lights, oh and if they do have issues then at least it only costs you another $5 or whatever to replace it rather than $30.
@mikeb1834
@mikeb1834 7 лет назад
The only people who don't care about the CRI of their LED strips are people who have never experienced good CRI LED strips. And really, how poor are you that $30 for high quality LED strips is too much? How much do you spend on filling up your car with gas? How much do you spend on food, or going to the movies? Are you really that cheap that you wouldn't spend a little more for something you will use every single day and that has a significant effect on everything you do? If you are that broke, then you shouldn't be worrying about doing anything with LED's and instead should be watching RU-vid videos to learn skills that will let you get a real job where you aren't having to cheap out buying junk LED's that will burn out and will make the color of everything look off.

@vgamesx1
@vgamesx1 7 лет назад
Melange Bryce I've experienced a few different types of lights and I could careless about CRI as long as the light coming from it isn't some awful greenish or blueish color, besides that unless you absolutely wanted a custom lighting solution it'd be almost waste to spend so much on lights, because don't forget you'll definitely want to put those on some aluminum strips and you'll need a half decent 24W power supply too, so $30 on lights + around $10 for a metal strip + roughly $8 on a PSU and if I really did care that much about CRI then by comparison a decent 8W LED bulb would only cost like $3-5... For about the same price you could basically light an entire house. Yeah $30 doesn't sound like much but you see in perspective, it costs a quite of a lot by comparison of traditional lighting methods, because that's going to be over $30 every one or two rooms, depending on how you want to spread it out.

Be nice if you listed some of the power supplies you used.

RedDragonGecko 12V. 1amp DC. sufficient for up to 15' strips 12V 2amps DC for long strips (over 15') The ultra bright white light setup he used is a 5amp power supply. Which would normally be overkill. Hence why it is so bright.

Cool projects. Plus I learned what "glooping" is and that I have been glooping various types of viscous material for 40 years now. I just called it "scooping ".

You sir are a legend, your sanding of the plastic sheets gave me a great idea to solve a problem where I can't find some frosted polycarbonate panels for a project...Im just going to buy clear ones now and sand them until they are frosted..Thanks, Ive got a few ideas from your channel now :)

Hey, Matt. I got a project for you. Bluetooth LED lights, with an option of having more than just 1, say four for example. That can all be turn on with your phone or something, and are powered with AA batteries, and for added pizzazz, an led charge indicator, like the one from your wireless tv video
