Extend Govee LED strip lights the right way 

Cheers for this! I want to throw some lights up on my bookshelves but was really annoyed that there didn't seem to be a way to do this from Govee. Now I know what to do. Much appreciated!

Fantastic resources, fantastic guide. Subscribed, honestly, it seems like your channel has some interesting variety.

Great video....Govee wouldn't have never told us that this is possible.....Thanks

yes! thank you, great video!

🙏👍Thank.

Thanks for uploading this, it's very useful. I do have a question and my apologies if this was asked already but, after the cut and reconnecting will the lights still change colors? Meaning if I use the DIY light settings will it still work? Thanks for any assistance!

Very useful video definitely getti g some of these! What would you use if you need to make a lot of small 90° turns? I've tried to use cheap connectors you showed at the start and they stop working as soon as you touch them.

Great video thank you! I am just wondering if all the models from govee can be extended. I have a model that I bought in 2021. Thank you

Hi, great video & very helpful, can you tell what the 4 strand extension cable is called ? Oh & can you keep the lights on just white instead of the multi colours ? Thanks👍🏼

I've recently bought the new Govee Cube Wall Lights. I was thinking of buying more but the area has a chimney breast that would mean I would have to separate the cube for each side of the breast. Any idea what type of wire gauge they would be and how many strand within them. Cheers.

I’ve bought a 10 metre reel to do under cabinet and kick board lighting will this be suitable for cutting and joining?🤞🏻

Hi. I'm struggling with the cutting and extending part of these particular lights. Govee says ABSOLUTELY DO NOT cut these lights as they'll stop working. I need to make several extensions and 90 degree turns for my application. I know your video shows that you can in fact cut and extend these Govee RGBIC lights but are there any consequences to this? some people say that you lose some of the functionality from the app and other video posters show the strips failing after cutting. I'm so confused. I just need to know for SURE that if I cut and connect as shown in your video, the RGBIC lights will function as intended with no issues. The model of outdoor RGBIC strip I'm considering is the Govee H6172. Thanks so much for your help!

hey! is there any to inject power into these leds lights? I split a 5 m strip into 50 cm segments (solder points are at each 50 cm mark). However with all the wires and extensions it seems the second half of the system is not receiving enough power.

I’m trying to buy give Govee RGBIC which is one strip but it’s always 2 so I’m gonna cut the first one and attach to the second one. Will I lose out on features in the app?

Question, can you connect an rgbic to rgbic so you could have a more seamless picture? On top of that, can you still use the customizability on the app?

Great video, thanks. Do you know, do you HAVE to cut through solder joints or can the LED strip be cut at OTHER points?

Is there a restriction on length of joiner cable ? I tested it with a short piece all was perfect then with a 4.5 m 4 strand cable it is only light the first 1-2meters of a 10m run with some red blue green clusters further on flashing in sequence. Not sure if it’s the cable or the joiners or the length and I have them mounted already 🙈

I heard from govee self that the m1 matter cant be cut and extended and there can't be a connector betweet the led. But i have seen so many videos where i saw that it can be done so is it more of a if it goes wrong then we are not responsible for it thing ?? Sorry if my English is not good. Its a great video im definitely gonna use it!

could you use this to also connect two strands of lights so dont need multiple power supply as in two rolls of 32.8 ft?

I bought Govee RGB Smart Wi-Fi + Bluetooth LED Strip Lights and extension strips 1M but It'll so confused as to how to connect them- it seems like they sold me extensions, but the rgb can't be extended? It looks so dumb in my son's room, because the two rgb strips (5m each) that comes f from the present source is just around 30 cm short connecting to meet on the middle. That's why I bought extenders, to make our all the way round the ceiling. Can I extend that little snippet with an extendor clip? Even though I don't have RGBIC?

Do the effects from the app work as normal? Would it just bridge between the connectors?

Good

hey there i got the govee RGBIC H619A 5m strip leds i wanted to know if i get those connectors could i attach another 5m strip directly onto the end? (if i make a cut at the start of a new one so all the cords aren't attached)

Is it possible to connect two RGBIC led strip lights? I want to connect the 32ft and 16.4ft together but I don’t know how. Could I use the materials you used in this video? Thank you in advance for your help.

only thing is i believe you can link the govee lights anyway so you dont even need to extend them in some cases which is great

Instead of extending it, can I just to cut it and reconnect it for the 90 degree corner?

Would the strip still work without reattaching the part that was cut? I mean if we just cut and shortened the strip to length.

Can this be done on tv backlight when upgrading to larger tv?😊

Great video! What kind of wire are you using? Can you add a link

I need a connector to plug strip wires into one side and then JUST +\- I need the other side to power to car battery

They say the rgbic you can’t cut, I’m pissed I’m short like 3 foot I need to add I’m at the end of both rolls, so I just need to add like 3 feet to one

Just to add to my last comment... Govee doesn't recommend that you cut ANY of their RGBIC products. But the product in your video is in fact Govee RGBIC.

Does this also work with Govee RGBIC Pro LED Strips?

Hi does this work with the Govee M1 led strips mate

I bought a 15 meter Govee flyer, then I bought 10 meters. Can I connect them together through these connectors?

No issues for combining two led stripes of govee rgbic?

Will it work with Govee Y lights?

Is the RGB(IC) effekt still there?

I am using Novostella rgbic and im getting power to the second strand but its stuck on just white and not changing colors. Only the first strand changes colors.

Am i able to just connect 300ish feet of rgbic with out needing to add an extension?

What type of your mine sir?, i have govee H619a but i doubt to cut it Sorry my english bad

Does that company also make corner connectors?

What model number are you using?

What were the wire extenders called that you used and where to purchase ?
