- I was asked if I could show closer how I connected the Neon LED sign from the WILD ONE neon sign. This is just a short video close up of the connectors.

You are a great Teacher (coming from Me a TEACHER)...
I just used this video to knock out an under the cabinet lighting project. Thank you for making it so simple to understand. 🙏🏿💪🏿
Awesome, thanks for watching and glad I was able to help.

@@BouncingHouseRentalUptonMa did you make it? put up a pic...
Not yet i got everything but i am scared to do it :)
Thanks u mate
SUPER😃👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thanks for the videos! Are these connectors okay for outdoor use?
Dude!!! You did everything I haven’t being able to confirm about LED strip inside the silicon sleeve, thanks a lot life savior
Question so you know what type of LED strip is this? I’m trying to connect a controller ESP32 but not sure if will be compatible
What power end did you use for the neon light side. Did you have to buy that end separately
Hey I was wondering do you have to strip the wires for these or you can just crimp them without stripping the wires.
Hi thanks for watching. That depends on the gauge of the wiring and the size of the holes in the clips. Ive used two different clips and gauge of wires. The ones in the video fit perfect and did not need to be stripped. The clips have a small metal piece inside which penetrates the wire when clamped creating the connection and they fit snug. Unfortunately I have not been able to get those clips again. They are not selling them on Amazon at the moment. I have been using similar ones on Amazon which are smaller and I did have to strip the wire just to make sure if fit. Thanks for your question.
Hi I am following your tutorial for a sign I was wondering if you can go into more detail about connecting the wire pieces in the back
Hi, thanks for watching. Did you have a specific question that I can answer? With this sign I really just bought a power supply, clear connectors and the red and white wire(for door bells from Lowe's). I inserted the wires into the clear clips. The clear clips have two holes that you just push the wire through. Then the other side of the clips is like a sandwich that you open and insert the cut LED strip. Make sure to cut the LED strip on the black line as shown in the video. That way it splits at the right spot and shows those copper half circles at the end of the LED, in the video. Make sure to line the clips with copper ends and it will light up. May take some practice to make sure the connections touch at the right spot. I hope I was able to answer you question, if not let me know what I can help you with. Thanks.
@@MakerDecorhello! My led lights already came with two wires, do i still need to cut?
Can these be powered directly from 12 V
Hello! I’ve watched all of your diy neon sign videos and I’m having issues. The connectors aren’t staying onto the el wire and not making a connection. What should I do? I would love to have any and all help! Even when the connectors stay on for whatever reason it’s not making a connection
Hmmm, I am sorry you are having trouble with the connections. One thing that comes to mind is make sure not to close the clips too hard as when pushing the clips to close. Sometimes if I kept pushing it would just split the end of the plastic inside the LED wire. It is meant to just pierce the gold or silver sections in the LED with the clip. Pushing too hard will split it and the clip will become loose. This happened to me a couple of times. I just used the super glue and glued the edge of the plastic to the edge of the LED. NOT the connections, that wont work just the plastic to rubber. But sometimes you just have to cut back to the next section and try again? And if it is not making a connection once hooked together I would try to reverse the wires as this is the most likely reason. Please feel free to message me on Instagram and send pics of the issue. Some people do and I try my best to help out. I am not an electrician but have made a couple of these and can help maybe trouble shoot some basic issues.

What are those clips called and what type of wiring you using to connect

Right here... you don't have to clean the ends of these (red/white) wires?
You can just push them in to the connector? Right?
Yes and no. So it depends on the gauge (size) of the wire and the size of the connections. The gauge of the wire in this video is I believe 22 gauge. I have used 20 gauge, 22 gauge and 24 gauge. 20 gauge is thicker so to fit it in you will need to strip the wire with wire cutters, which is simple to do with the right wire strippers. 22 gauge and 24 gauge are thinner wires and will fit right in the two holes. Once you close the clip it has a small metal cutter that splices to the middle of the wire and locks in the connection. So you do not need to cut the wire if it fits in because the metal cutter will clip half way through the wire once the clip is closed. Also there are a couple different clips on Amazon I believe 8 mm and 10 mm, which will determine the clip insertion opening sizes. Sorry that may be a little confusing, hope this helps.

GOOD TO KNOW...
Thank you so much for sharing this information...
Like I said... YOU are a great Teacher...
Thank you.
How does one fix a led neon from a store. What are the possible failure points?
We're did you purchase this set and what length are you using?
Hi thanks for watching. I bought these off of Amazon. The links are in the bottom of the description. I believe the wire was a total length of about 16 ft. But I did not use it all. Thanks for your question.
@@MakerDecor awesome appreciate your reply my friend
Hi i wanted to try your method on making a neon sign can you please tell me is everything still working perfectly after a month?
Hi, thanks for watching. I made the sign in July, used it in August for my daughters Birthday. And yes I still have it and it still works. As long as you make sure the connections are solid there are no reasons for it not to work. Thank you for your question.
@@MakerDecor thank you so much I appreciate you getting back to me 🙏🏻😃
could you add the link to the items needed from amazon so I don't get it wrong?!
pleas do know anything about madrix
Where do you buy the acrylic sheets?
Hi, Home Depot sells them
Where can I get the connectors? Thanks!
Hi, I have the link under the video in the description titled 8mm LED connectors. And if you can not find it, just search the same 8mm LED connectors on Amazon and they should pop up. Thank you!
What gauge wire are you using? 18, 22
Hi thanks for watching. I have used 20, 22 and 24. 22 gauge works good.
amazon links is not working ... please check
Hi thanks for letting me know. I updated the link for the LED. The wire connectors link does not want to work. But I went and found the description from the purchase. It is in the description of the video, hopefully you can find something similar. Thanks for watching!
I wish you would have shown how you connected the power supply to the LED strip...
Hi, the LED wires I use, have the power supply already connected to the LED strip when I purchase them. I have added some before, which was just connecting the wires just to use the left over LED srip pieces. But most come with the end power supply attached already.
I need to know that same thing as well. I connected everything and my lights don’t come on. I switched the wires around and still nothing. I did notice my led lights are split where I put the clips on. Is that supposed to happen?
I don't know why I am scared about making this.... as if I couldn't... but, I'm gonna try it.... send me good vibes only ppl...
Awesome!!
What is the white wire called how do i get it ?
Hi, you can get something similar on amazon or a hardware store. Just look for like 20 or 22 gauge wire I believe it was. Good luck
where can i get the connector plz reply
Hi thanks for watching. The wire connectors link does not want to work. But I went and found the description from the purchase. It is in the description of the video, hopefully you can find something similar. You can search "2 Pin 8mm LED Strip to Wire Connector Unwired Clips Solderless Adapter Terminal Extension Connection for Single Color LED Strip Lights 12V 24V" on amazon or online?
@@MakerDecor still did not get the connector on Amazon. Plz send link

The original link for the original connectors is not on Amazon for sale at the moment. I have been using these currently.
@@MakerDecor so is there any way I can get
I know this video is old but can u connect different colors together
lol, old I felt like I just started making videos. Yes you can mix colors but I have not yet made one that will change colors. That one is a bit more complicated. I have made one that is two colors here is the video and I also made it into a short as well czcams.com/video/Lii-OCnOELE/video.html
Thank you very much just Dropped a sub I make christmas and halloween motifs just always had problems with making motifs that have multiple colors in the design this really helps. Also how many can u connect at once ?
@@massprankstv324 Thank you very much. And not sure I have only connected two. But I think I can add more. You just can not make it super long as you will need a second power adapter. But I haven't run into that issue. Good luck
Appreciate it very helpful
How to connect

Hi, I am working on that. Once I do I will post a video of it. Thanks
