This is the same diffuser I've used as well, and it lit up my entire apartment using the Hue light strips. They're excellent

The LEDs themselves have a significant bearing on the light diffusion. Both the quantity per linear metre and the angle the LEDs emit the light are a major factor. In my professional experience using LEDs for many years, having a deep channel and frosted convex diffuser will always help diffusion. The proof of a good diffuser is when you have to use a shallow channel due to the design constraints in your application.

I found your channel on accident trying to see if Govee lights were good. Your channel is amazing!

I just found you 2 weeks ago, thanks for my new addiction lol spent almost 200 on Amazon already. The best lighting out. I wish there was a mic so wled could do music mode. thanks!!

omg absolutely dead-on Steven Wright impression

I nearly gave up on this too! I am trying to create DYI lighting FX for my music videos. Found some polycarbonate tubes but was stuck on how to connect the led's inside. This idea now makes the tubes redundant but offers the perfect setup in a size restricted space. cheers!

Thank youuuu I was about to spend $180+ just to get that “neon light” effect. Thank you thank you thank you.

Seeing these on Amazon is actually what lead me to your channel, somehow, a few days ago lol I’ve watched every video

You read my mind. I've had these in my cart for about a week and a half, and them getting an endorsement from you is enough for me to spend on them. I'm going to use the channel along with some mirror film and acrylic mirror to create an infinity effect inside my O11 dynamic pc case.

I was just checking these out last week. I want to line the perimeter of my ceiling with these and hook the light up to prismatik so when I game my entire room will light up according to whats on screen instead of just the back wall behind the TV. Now thats immersion!

Dude thank you I was going crazy tryin to find that perfect "neon" diffuser, im gonna pick up a stack of these

Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking a good diffuser for a while now. Can’t wait to see how you use them.

LED KING BACK WITH THE GREAT CONTENT

Welp, you just helped me figure out some things for a new home. Thanks for these videos! Appreciate them bro!

Super cool find. I actually just bought material for a new project putting LED lights under a table I built for my theater room. Will check these channels out.

Great video Chris. I have a set of 6 of these for a outdoor project and I must admit they are great quality. Hopefully I'll have time to finish installing them this week. Thanks again for another well informed vid. 👍

Thanks for the vid man. About to order some strips but just learned about diffusers. Stuff was giving me a headache. You made it a lot easier to understand, about to order now. Been watching your DIY vids too

Nice! 👌🏼 The right diffusion material is so important for led lighting. I'm working on a 12"x18" led key light and picked up Hobby Lobby's tracing blank sheets based on your recommendation in a previous video. Next I want to make a flapjack/pancake style key light, but I want it to be 24" in diameter, so I'm on the hunt for inexpensive but excellent diffusion material for that. Thanks again for sharing your builds!

Faving this for the future, very useful

thank you!! I've been on this same quest, these look amazing and do exactly what I was looking for

I do something similar but, I buy a set that has white leds already in them. It has a shallower channel but leaves space in the bottom for the controllers. I use different leds with more close pixels and this makes up for the shallow channel. I also have to do a lot more work to make mine work like cutting the diffusion, which is a pain. But doing this way gives me room for the controller and makes each individual bar it’s own separate thing. Also I get the extra white leds to play with.

Hi Chris thank you for the video!! Question do you have a video to explain how to conect all ?? Thank you

So glad I watch this video. I was going to buy the wrong item 😅

Most diffusers are the same material but like you mentioned , the further away the diffuser is from the light source the better the effect will be. The only drawback is when you are after a slim or shallow recessed type , then you are back to the diffuser being very close to the light source potentially seeing the individual led chips.

Looks so smooth! Can't wait to see what you do with those!

Hey man! Thanks for this, literally doing a cabinet job and was really going crazy trying to find the perfect channels. My friend uses lifex lights already which have very vivid, saturated colors and beautiful diffusion without any additional diffusion. So I had a mission, to try and too those lights with my setup. Thanks to you I should be able to impress him 👏🏻

Wow.... cool.....I wanna try this in a D-shape translucent shower seal installed as a rubber front bumper rail on my W123 Mercedes

Great work, next project here we go

Thank you for this review! Was looking for something like this for a long time.

Thank you for this review! Ordering some today.

Hey Chris, this Video is exactly what I was looking for. In a few months I will become a new kitchen and for the lighting I want to use the same setup you used in the video, thanks man :)

Love your channel Chris.

I’m glad I found your channel! Lots of great stuff. I’d be interested in seeing something like this installed under a car. I bet you could do awesome things with that! Thanks for all you do!

the normal corner defusers work too but you nees 100leds/m density. I built some projects with it and it super smooth

Awesome video, I’m glad I found your channel. I love the things you come up with revolving around leds and how it’s super easy to do. I’ve struggled with finding good led diffusers on Amazon so this videos a great help! It sucks to hear they don’t look so good with govee lights since that’s why I currently use but it’s not hard to find good leds that are 60leds per meter. Looking forward to future content, keep up the great work!

In my Amazon cart!! Thanks Chris !!

Fantastic thanks for the help !

How would you recommend running power injection wires in these?

can you tell me how to do rectangle shape with these single strip please>.

Wow! Perfect! I’m going to use this Forney golf simulator! Thanks you just got a new sub!!!

Love it man! I was looking into these as well. Its tough to find a good aluminum channel that diffuses light well and these really look great!

How about a comparison of this vs “conventional” quarter-round and straight/thin channel?

I am literally in the market for diffusers right now! PERFECT! Also I wanted to mention that I have a band that I feel like fits your style on your channel. Check out the band "Hurtwave". They have 4-5 really good vibe songs that I feel like you'd like to add to your videos. Small band so I doubt there are any copywrite issues. Let me know what you think!

How do you sequence the LED's to run a pattern where they "run off" onto the next row of LED's?

Hello , is it possible to modify it to light up by reacting to a music beat or sound? If you know can you try it ,

Alright you got me lmao This channel is all quality I’m impressed and bought some stuff already. Found a new passion lmao What can I do to connect these on corners, should I cut them or is there a piece that I can buy to connect them , that way the corners look like a smooth white bar.

Great video! It ended too soon! Looking forward to your next project with these diffusers!

I accidentally opened RU-vid a minute ago and your thumbnail caught my eye! Incredibly serendipitous!!! I've been struggling for months with my ambient lighting using Govee products and I'm finally at a breaking point. You've given me hope!!! You have a new subscriber for life!!! I'm gonna go order those LED's and channels now!! I have a question. That control board you listed in the description. Does that need to run on a Raspberry Pi or similar SBC?

Hi thanks. And i want to point that in the description is a typo esp2866 instead of esp8266

Love your content bro 👌 Let's hope we can continue such luxurious hobbies into the future.

Thank you. That was the most informative product review edited with great style. I spent all day researching this and you've answered all my questions in 2:35 minutes. How do you think equivalent V style would diffuse with that same light strip you used? Would I see the dots?

Cool !

Do you think these diffusers would work well as garage lighting? Looking for a solution to add more lighting in my garage.

Chris, Hello my name is Danny and also hopefully addicted to making the world a more lit and colorful way. Kudos to you for finding this disfusser package. I'm a very DIY guy and been searching for something as well and found that parchment paper works great as long as there's something to make the paper more rigid. Still searching. But I've been using WLED and SR-WLED for over a year now and made some downright killer displays. I even outlined the three main windows of a radio station and it stands out from far out. I'm writing cuz I've advance into the 2d and 3d matrix world and WLED is still trying to catch up to Madrix and their amazing control systems that I've seen and used in nightclubs since around 2011. They are def the leader and innovator in the pixel mapping world. I digress, but have you made or invested in 144/m pixel strips? 60/m is enuff to fill the diffuser and put light out, but the first time I put the appropiate power to a strip I made that was 5m long (and injected) of 144/m was the first time I blew my own mind. Words are hard to come by trying to explain what it looks like. Like I could say lkajdsflkjadfdfak lkjdf la'kdjflkdfakj but that is not understandable....get it? lol What board are you using? I recently found out the esp32S has many features that quadruple the power of a D1 mini. Lemme upload my clips for you to see.

Hey there. I've been watching your LED projects and they all look amazing. Related to this video, is it impossible to eliminate the hotspots in 30 led/meter? My strip has 30 leds/meter and I'm having a hard time finding a video on how to diffuse such type of an LED strip. Can you suggest any tips?

Hi so dont they have the inner corner conectora and out corner conetors ? Going in and out off corners bends ??

Thanks want to buy this for my celing

Are there any channels that have 90 right and left turn pieces to create squares or rectangles?...

over $500 for 60ft+ of aluminium and plastic channels, are there any other good diffusers that are cheaper than this?

is there a option für only the Plexiglass. Dont really need the Alu profile

What about the corners, did you find any L-shaped corner connectors for the Muzata LN1?...

Do you think this would work well for landscape lighting/placed behind foliage/bushes? I am wondering if it will provide enough light for uplighting as well as out

Looks really good, thanks for the tip! I made a mistake by looking for a channel as flat as possible , and was thinking: so this is it? Should I buy more leds/m ? But now I see that it is about diffuser ánd somewhat higher channels...(obviously). Unfortunately those are not for sale at Amazon Netherlands :-(

Hey man, I was wondering can u stick these on the sides of your ceiling like how do u stick them?

What’s up Chris, so informative I’m glad I’ve found your channel. Do you think these channels will be fine for the gouvee phantasy outdoor light strips. I don’t want to see any type of dots at all I hate them, also curious if you think it’ll take away from the brightness…thanks in advance

Excellent

Just wondering if you know which diffuser would be best for outdoor usage, like putting in the garden and not rust.

Do you have a recommendation for a V-channel? It doesn't look like Muzata has these, only the U-channels.

But can it get bright enough to actually usefully illuminate an area, or is it just for decoration?

Hi, I’m planning on buying these diffusers because of your review, but do I need corner adapters? I looked at the muzata store on Amazon and didn’t see any for this model.

Thanks I may buy these

This is a little off topic, but what LED strip light could you recommend for a shower. I have Stage four glaucoma and I just want to be a little safer...

Hey. Old vid I know but these don’t seem to be available anymore. What’s the best current diffuser going?

so how would I make this into a baseboard thing? I have 50ft of govee rgbic (in 2 rolls of 25) and want it to wrap around my living room but wouldn't know what to do where the corners meet. Thanks for inspiring me!

What is the difference between the white and black diffusers? I feel like black would create a more subdued texture?

will the plastic diffuser fit onto the shallower more common channels and if so, does it improve diffusion against the stock diffusers that the shallow channels normally come with?

As someone who is super new to even electronics, is there a way to turn these things on with like a batter pack or something that can be hidden - like.. how do you plug these on...

Woah! Nice! Thank you! I'm more curious about the pegboard in the background. I am working on a pegboard for displaying my hot wheel collection and trying to figure out ways to light them up w/LED's. I'm putting LEDs on the back for background lighting but can't figure out how to light them from the front. I was searching for LED channel diffusers and found you. Thinking channels facing the sides to light them up but not sure.

I want these as the border of a temporary plywood stage. Would this be the best option? I have to disassemble everything when the event is over and I don't want to throw anything away. Any ideas?

How is it if you install Philips hue lightstrip? Will you see the leds still??

So quick question. I'm very new to this and I'm looking to do a wall project. if i want 90 degree turns will i need to chop with 45's or is the a 90 degree adapter?

Could you do a vid but finding the best v shaped ?

How would I be able to run this set up all along the perimeter of the ceiling of my room? Would help a lot thanks in advance

Do they make any that are less than 1” deep, that still provide spotless diffusion?

hi community, where i can find muzata? they are unavaible. they are maybe changed name?

What is the difference between these LED lights and the Govee lights as far as what they can do? Is there any other LED lights like the Govee lights that can segment out color and use an IC chip or whatever?

Ask.. the govee pro rgbic will no works like this? Spotless?

Any idea if the phillips hue lightstrip will look good on this diffuser? And great video btw they look amazing

Hi Chris, I have a question for you, could you please tell me how you deal with LED light recording and you don't get overexposure at the same time. Maybe you have a way ?

Thank you for the great video. What led would you use to hardwire to a 120V switch and use this diffuser?

what brand do led strip do you recommend that includes everything you need like power supply controller and the leds themselves

Which camera u are using to recording these leds in dark room ? Or which phone ? :3

I wanna do the wled route but it seems so damn confusing and it sucks cu I’m trying to do my whole outer ceiling and I don’t know if I’ll get Voltage drop.

😍😍😍

I’m totally new to LED lighting and I wanted to do something similar to this where I have a bunch of diffused LED strips literally lined up like you have in your example. I have no idea how to connect them though since I assume you have to cut and reconnect so it wouldn’t create one continuous loop. It looks like yours are individually cut at the bottom and the LEDs aren’t connected but rather attached to the power source? I assume that’s how you keep them in sync when doing an animation so it knows which strip to go to next. Any resources that you can point me to on how to accomplish that? Thanks.

Love your passion for LEDs! I have a question about those channels. Those are the U108s and I’m trying to decide if I want those or the U116s (also sold from same company on Amazon). My goal for buying either is an exterior house installation and I would love to be able to run the power injection wire inside the channel behind the LED strip so as to completely hide it. Do you think I could do that with these U108s? And if you’re familiar with the U116s, do you think I could with those? I realize a lot of that would depend on the size of the injection wire I’m using, and I think that’s 14 gauge. Either that or 10, I can’t remember right off hand. Thoughts?

Are they wide enough for Philips Hue light strip or the gradient lightstrip? So hard to find a good deep and wide enough channel for those

New subscriber here! Just getting into this stuff. I have some govee phantom pro lights coming in that i want to mount to the roof line on my home. First question being, can I mount these diffusers without any drilling? Would 3m body double sided tape work? I know from auto work on how strong this stuff is to withstand the different climates we have in that northeast. Second question is do I need to attach the govee strips with the double sided tape onto the diffusers or can I just place them in like you did in the video? Thank you a ton!

Nice
