    Excellent thanks

    The folding method by far seems the cleanest but do you think that those folds could potentially cause enough heat to damage the strips in the long run??

    • @superbrightleds

      Great question. It depends on the strip. Most single-row strips will be fine, like the one used in this video. However, for high-density strips or double/trip/quad-row strips, we would not recommend this method.

    I tried the folding and now my led strip doesnt work anymore from that part😂 will have to use the cut method instead

    • @superbrightleds

      Noooo! Sorry to hear. Yes, when in doubt, use the solderless connectors. They are very inexpensive, easy to install, and look better than any of the bending/folding methods.

      Happened to me on RGB strip, after every bend, one of the colors stopped working :D

    I went to light international exhibitions and find strip led light which works with 220 ac no DC adaptor improved any other electrical unit required , it helps me to work more accurately, with the help of cable tie, I attached to the light Aluminum pipe , noticed the pipe is vibrating a little bit when I move my finger along with pipe.

    Ive always used the folded 90° option on indoor strips, I've never had one fail yet. This doenst work on the thicker oitdoor siliconed strips obviously...

    • @LegendaryHorse3075
      @LegendaryHorse3075 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Remove a small part of the silicone for the fold(s) then re-seal with a glue gun.

    What about the led COB strip? i need a 45 degree fold turn as well for a seemless look

    • @superbrightleds
      @superbrightleds  Před rokem +1

      You can definitely do the fold on COB strips. Just take it easy when folding it. Of course, we'd still recommend a solderless connector because they're only a couple bucks and look even more professional.

    Question. Will the L connector work with Phillips hue strip lights ?

    • @superbrightleds
      @superbrightleds  Před 6 měsíci

      Short answer: probably. Our L connectors are designed with our strip lights in mind, but as long as you match up both the size of the strip along with the type (e.g., Single Color, RGB, RGBW, Tunable White, etc), you should be good.

    So a strip led won't break if you double it? I am afraid that it might break that why I don't do it. Never knew it was that flexible. Thx

    • @shrihangundubogula2483
      @shrihangundubogula2483 Před 7 měsíci

      How did it go?

    • @rtr9746
      @rtr9746 Před 7 měsíci

      It went great. I could easily do 90 degrees corners to each direction. I was surprised they didn't break. I just tried to double them where no chips or LEDs are present. I tried first without removing the tape, then when I got the trick it was easy. So yes no problems for me. My LEDs were from AliExpress from a company called RGB. Very good quality.

    Hello, is there a way to turn an LED strip 180 degrees to run it back along itself?

    • @johnadams1976
      @johnadams1976 Před 20 dny

      Cut. Solder wires to each section to rejoin. Turn the strip 180. Tada

    Don't try this on cheap strips or it will break.

      You are correct,the pcb is thin and flimsy which can be hardly fixed good by the connctot.

    try to not bend led as this will create hotspots. basically asking for something to go bad.
    just buy connectors

  • @pavaovlaovic3433
    @pavaovlaovic3433 Před rokem +2

    Folding strip is not ok, conectors leave you with blank space... Buy soldering iron and just solder them if you need to go around corner
