Big Mistake This Could Have Cost me £**** 

Good job ad. If you are stuck in the future use the 1mm to power the transformer and hide it above the reveal. I use a 2 port media plate with the brush inserts, you can’t see it from the ground

that turned out nice. Yeah there's not a lot of standard with LEDs yet. I mean there's a standard but it's not the standard. Like that you ran the extra cable probably a good thing this case. I would almost say for future proofing for anything like that Flexican all the way to the control box. It seems like LED lighting might be going the way of power over ethernet POE which would require data cabling. And the annoying thing about most built-in features like that is that they're usually made one size fits none, so having the conduit there in the future brings a whole lot more options. With AC wiring you have a lot more leeway put the switch on one end or put a controller up there with constant power etc. with DC and not so much.

Brilliant job, Adam. Good job using the 1mm to round out the supply for those RGBW strips. That installation looks SIIIIICK! The client is going to be well chuffed.

Hi Adam, Be mindful using the connecters for led tape as some are only rated at a few amps and can easily burn out , rgbw can be 18w per m , x that by the length of tape then divide by your 24 volts which can cause problems, soldering isn’t easy especially with rgbw but it’s worth learning and practicing and makes a better job , keep up the good work , best way to learn is from your mistakes 👍🏻

Hi mate, just telling you what we usually do, if you’re installing down lights around the sky light, hide the driver for the tape inside the nearest down light hole. That way it’s accessible in the future, and tucked out the way 👍🏼

Hi Adam - great LED job - I have Specified JCC lighting throughout on the project I’m doing - including the LED ribbon. JCC do seem to have everything when it comes to this. Keep up the great work .

Well done Adam what a bit of luck you pulled in the extra cable, Happy new year.

Nice one Adam. Well thought out in the end. Luck the extra cables were there 🤦🏻 Be mindful if you do it again and you are fitting 5v strips on long runs they would need power injection down the line. Happy new year🎉

Just a thought but why didnt you just use the 2 core up to the led strip for your DC, then install the led receiver right next to the LED strip, espesically as you had to cut away the plaster board for the profile annyway? BS 7671 does cover ELV as well. Great job though, really tidy!

Looks like a great extension love the black windows You should do a full tour of the house

Great work, looks awesome! Happy New Year to you, wish you all the best for 2024!

Also can get recessed "plaster in/drywall" led channels that get plastered in, save you the chipping out next time. Next job is always your best job..💪💪

A lucky save for that one Ad! Good stuff. Looks good

Good save in the end mate, nicely done! Just curious as to how long the total run of led strips was along the entire skylight, as was told i need a cable to power each 5m length? I'll be running on 24v too with a big-ass driver. Cheers

Good video. And nice save with the twin and earth cable you ran in. I made similar mistake to rgbw lights on a soffit. So I ended up fitting the controller in the eaves in the loft

Phew! Running in that one- mill was so fortuitous. 😮Happy New Year. ❤

Good job Adam! Here in Portugal we have a special alluminium profile for plasterboard, you probably can find that in the uk for sure! Makes the job look better plus less work, i uses it in my last job and worked wonders! If you want i can send you a link! Keep the good work!

Yep ! Every days a school day 👍

I've not fitted any JCC LED strip so there's not much advice I can give apart from assuming you are fitting downlights on that ceiling put the joint between the cable and prewired end above a downlight with a bit of flexi conduit between Is there any guidance of the distance restrictions between the driver and tape? As you said it could have cost you but it didn't, looks good though. How about doing a video with the unused bits on how it all goes together with no soldering. I bet you when you have finished the kitchen you'll look at it and be well proud of what you have done.

Nice one Adam. You can tick that box now. Next time, you'll have the right feed. Have a good new year and carry on the content in 2024

Every days a school day mate. For us all!!👏👍

Great video Adam thanks well saved looks mint well done for going the extra ££££ but a light fitting would cost even more .

every day is a school day nice one adam for showing it

whats a "heat shrink " ?

Quality job👍

Happy new year bro ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wouldn't be better to have controller hidden inside next to LED strip? That way you use 2 core cables? Btw, I used RGB-CCT LED strip (so I have different white temperature as well) that work well together with Philips Hue (it use Zigbee gateway) 👍👌

If I only knew you were planning a trip near to me... I've a gift for you. Maybe next time. :) This led strip is so cool. Job is done perfectly.

Stop apologising!! It's fine and your job nobody elses😊 Love to see a vid where you compare your Milwaukee to the bosch you used with nick

Can someone educate me please, why the need for a big driver? Iv had the cheap eBay led rgb kit on my stairs with sensors for the last 5years and it’s still going strong? I totally get it’s a cheap kit compared to the one Adam used but what’s the pros and cons ?

I know it is easier for us who are not doing the job to comment, but you have over looked another problem. As the LED strip is long, and it is 24v, you can get a lot of voltage drop. Next time, why not put the receiver adjacent to the LED tape? That way you only need 2 core, and you can use T&E so the voltage drop will be so small you will not have to worry about it. The only way to learn is from your mistakes.

Mate just glue/tack some coving around the lantern next time rather mulot-tooling that out. Either way get the plasterers or joiners to make a way of hiding the extrusion.. nice bit of coving is my go to..

Anyone used these receivers for warm white strip only? Or if they can be used?

Informative video, get yourself a portable bench, before you end up like Nick with bad knees and back.

Its happens to the best hahaa You could have just put some loops into the driver

Bit OTT cutting all that channel out. Bet you won’t do that again 😂

Need to start eating healthy food in morning not that quick food ,
