I normally wait until the end of the video to comment but thank you so much for “soldering is not rocket science, it’s not magic”. I’ve watched so many videos about soldering led lights instead of using those very long connectors that can come in the package. I just want to underlight a 3x8 resin piece I don’t want to shove a bunch of connector wires into the base to get 4 8” led strips under the darn thing lol
What a fantastic, well organized work space! No wonder you got such great results. Has anyone ever mentioned tour resemblence to Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó
instead of overlapping the joints in your last segment surely you can simply place them next to each other touching and connect them with solder so it's neater ?
Nice job...you may however want to consider using a CU-close up (Or ECU-Extreme Close Up) when doing/showing the detailed work. Also, position the camera so that your dominant hand isn't blocking the camera.
The video was helpful to do it in the right way. Because i am using connector for my 5050 rgb led strip and over time it losing some color maybe because some contact pin losing out so maybe i should add solder to the connector in the first place. But i have question, i using about 5 connector but the more the connector i used, the less bright the led strip after each the connector. What's wrong with that? Are my connector poorly made or it is normal? Also i would love to see how to install the led strip in the kitchen cabinet or so and how to route and hide it because it has power supply/transformer and cable that really annoy me when i don't hide them. Nice video and clear explanation btw. Thank you
Great video! Your tips really helped me, thanks. Also, as a brit it sounds so weird to my ears that you don't pronounce the "l" in solder, and instead say "sodder".
No heat sink, if you have to use one then would smaller be better because it heats up fast ? l fail wihen replacing smd led disks for 30w bulbs E27 after say 5 months , i know it's heat which a 8 ohm resistor really helps if you're happy losing lums , could soldering iron heat be the culprit ? 20,000hrs no way ?
I would like to have multiple strips cut to length and then run them from as few power supplies as possible. These strips will not be side by side or end to end necessarily. Think of linear neon style installations. I would imagine there could be a loss across the connections. What is the best way to go about connecting that?
