Great to see Jordan there. Be kind people. All these uploads and tour of knowledge, are made possible because of the man behind the scenes. The ads are to keep the channel rolling. I'd do the same, I mean why not.
Cory has got it down. Nice Led lighting install on the truck there. I love my sidecutters. I can't believe you don't have a pair. We also call them Lineman Pliers here in the States. Thanks for your shout out to Greta and your love decleration . Things will hopefully move forward for you both in the New Year. Jordan are we having a Christmas Party this year. Hope so. Great Sucess on your 100,000 subscribers.Onward and upward.
Cory? I think you got away lightly fitting those lights. If your van has a canbus fitted, which most do, it can trigger failure light on dash..as it doesn't recognise the extra lights.. did on mine anyhows, I had to fit a relay to get past it. 😀
Be careful wiring lights and accessories to the vehicle loom. many vehicles interior lighting circuits are on the canbus network and controlled by the BCM / ECU computer, even If you swapout the bulb in the back of the van with an LED festoon / wedge bulb it will need to be CAN error free type which talk to the system. If you have a 12v outlet in the back use that instead
On the point about thieves taking equipment from vans. A van used to store tools, test kits, supplies, etc. should be at least up to the relevant Thatcham categories with physical deterrents like a tool vault fixed to the vehicle.
Ours (South Africa) is also flat unless you want the foil shielded one which is round (we call that Surfix or Norsk). Used anywhere the cable is exposed and someone can damage it (e.g. surface mounted) as the foil earth is protection against electrocution. Can also be buried in the ground. I like to use it for lightning protection too. The foil (like shielded LAN cable) forms a Faraday cage and stops surges induced in the cable. Well it seems to work for me anyway.
Fuck me 100k subscribers when I first saw this chanel I thought what kind of name is this for a electrican company I heard of artisans baker not a fuckin artisans electrics congratulations you earned it but I m still waiting for you to bake us a bread 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞
That 0.5 mm is probably okay for the LED lights with DC you have to worry about voltage drop and current draw probably nowhere near an issue. I do say if you're going to do this try to interface with the remaining connector that way you have reversibility it's always nice to have that undo button as somebody who lived through the decades where undo was sometimes only one reversal. I would love to get an auto electricians take on tapping off the interior lighting circuit with amppaucity etc. Probably nothing to worry about if the interior lighting is incandescent. With each lighting run being its own run you're not pushing all of that current on one cable in a cascaded fashion so the wire size shouldn't be any issue. In some newer vehicles that are a little bit smart and dumb about the lights and thay can have a minimum load requirement which if not met that can causes the LEDs to flicker or not go off or not dim properly.
You may need to check that the LED strips actually go completely off. I learned a few years back When I worked for a company who made and designed the type of racking you are using. That the led strips would illuminate when the central locking was on as they received a back feed from the neutral. A non return diode sorts this issue out perfectly
Great work on the LED’s, great video.. good to see Jordan out there. Jordon ask what he’s know as now, Always in the office. We would call him a ‘Mick Dundee’ always out back
Another great video guys, loving the new led strip lights. Be good to see what they're like when it's dark 👍🏼. Any chance of a link for the van racking? Keep up the great work.
Good work, may look at putting a couple of strips on the roof of my van! Can’t beat LED Strip. What’s the name of the storage unit you have fixed to the bulkhead you mentioned you’ve had for a while?
Love all the holders you have - for everything from WD40 to silicon - have you a link to them? Also - how many wristwatches does Cory have? Keep the good stuff coming! xxxx
