- Connectors can make working with LED lights much easier. We have a variety of options to connect your LEDs to your power, and split the power to groups of LEDs in ways that make sense.

Thank you so much for posting this ! Hard to find information on lighting circuits for hobby projects
We are glad that you liked the video! Thanks!
I've purchased from this company in the past. But this video has given my additional info on how to connect the power supply.
Hi! We are happy we were able to help! We are making more hands on videos, so if there are other things you would like to see let us know.
Just discovered Evan Designs! So wonderful to know I can buy, plug, and play!
hi Alan, thank you so much! Yes we try to make using LEDs easy!
@@EvanDesigns , no, thank you, for existing! I'll be ordering soon; likely next week! Cheers!
Great products! Is it possible to shorten the wires?
I like this video lot
Thank you very much! We try hard to make things easy to understand
Super helpful, thanks!
Well that really depends. If you use 3 volt lights with a 3 volt supply such as AA or AAA then there is no resistor needed. If you use higher power like a 9 volt battery or a 12 volt adapter then all the LEDs will need to have resistors added. We add resistors to all of our lights ahead of time when you order from us. evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds
Can you change the color of the light to red ?
The wired connectors are made for connecting lights to power. You can use any color light, it's up to the user what lights to choose
gently sand a white light with fine grit sandpaper and then use a colored marker to coat the glass.
Can you solder small wires like that? I'm attaching and twisting five or six wires together. Thank you!
Hi Raymond, yes you can solder these small wires. Some find solder helpful although it is not always necessary. If you twist the wires firmly with the power supply and shrink tube them that should be adequate.
@@EvanDesigns Thank you!
How would you safely connect your power supply wire to a car battery with out shorting out?
You can use your car battery as the power source. Select LEDs rated for 7-19 volt AC/DC like these:

because car batteries run around 15 volts when the alternator is running.
Can I yoo bluetooth battery for my led lights?
hi Andy We do not have bluetooth batteries, sorry!
No resistor needed?
Well yes, if your power supply is over 3 volt, you will need resistors
@@EvanDesigns how don’t those 4 leds burn out, don’t those 2 AA batteries put out 6v total? I’m confused cause In series 4 leds would put out around 12v and 2 AA batteries wouldn’t be enough, and in parallel only 3v, so 2 AA batteries would be too much.
@@alien-oo-_-oo5732 Hi! Good question. The LEDs are in parallel so they are 3 volt each. The 2x AA batteries are in series. Each AA is 1.5 volt so the 2 together = 3 volt. Same with the AAA they are also in series also equalling 3 volt. Basically the larger the 3 volt battery the longer it can run the LEDs.
Hi
Hi Vijay did you have a question about our wired connectors? you can find them on this page of our website
