3 layers of heat shrink PLUS liquid tape...now I understand all the Festool!!!! Great info. thanks!

Perfect, thank you. Just returned from buying a kit from the box store, 50 bucks for 16 feet, it also included a remote, connectors, etc. Since these will replace my motorhome 1 foot fluorescents, no need for the extra parts. Ordered light strips per your Amazon link to include that nifty self adjusting wire stripper you also linked to!

Great video! I'm experimenting with building a camper in the bed of my pickup truck. It'll have a separate battery - I'll need to connect a diesel heater, fridge, and some lights there.

You would think aftre watching so many of these videos, that the heatshrink goes on first. nope doing my hilux wires the other day, sure enough no shrink lol, luckily I hadn't soldered but had the wires all nicely twisted for soldering. An easy thing to do, thanks for the vid, am going to do something like this as well but with an on/off switch Much appreciated

ive got into liquid tape late but its cool on strips that need to be outside ive made my own harnesses for rock lights and pleased with my work strips matter companies are the same durabilty when it comes to kits

I think a great use of this would be to splice into your existing car 12V exterior lights to create accent lighting on a vehicle. You can splice right onto your running lights, back up lights, or blinkers, no power supply needed. As long as the adhesive is quality enough for exterior use, or even some clear silicone adhesive to attach the LED strip to the auto. Also could be great for wiring to the 12V battery in a camper with a switch Thanks, this cleared up a lot of my questions. After seeing some exterior car accent lighting selling for over $70 for a one foot piece of strip light, I think people could save a lot of money just DIY-ing this way!

Nice informative video. Only change would be to have your camera zoomed in. You are explaining the process well but it would also help to see closer.

Your approach. Your voice. Your backdrop. The shop, all of it. ITS FANTASTIC! 🙏🦾

Hey Brian, is that battery box you have a diy or purchased? If purchased just wondering where from. Thank you

My car has ambient lightning in the door but the light comes through 3mm or 5mm led bulb so it's barely noticeable. Can I cut two wires that lead to leds and connect this led strip??

Curious? Wont it shorten the life span of the LEDs doing it this way V.S. using the power adapter that they always say to use ? They say it should never be higher then 12 volts but when we start up and drive that goes up to 13+ volts. Your input is greatly appreciated

fabulous thanks!

Thank you for this helpful video, Brian!

Where did you get that heat gun at? Also put the speaker wire in your links too. Thanks

love it.... thank you

How did you make power box ?

Do you have a video of how you made your power box

Is it possible to do the same thing with RGB LED Strips?

Great video!!!

nice video, ive learn a lot, thanks

Do you have a some kind of voltage regulator between the battery and the LED strip? The voltage will drop and also the amount of light according to the discharge state of the battery?

Can you tell me why my straps I put on my golf cart won't work on a 36v to 12v converter? I had to hook them straight to one of the 12v batteries.

Adding solder to a wire is called ‘tinning’.

Gonna try tris

Will the remote control for the led strip still work?

I figure this is a stupid question but, Can I just hook this thing directly to an old car battery ? What are the limitations? I am afraid of making one giant electrical heating coil and burning down my barn. Any help appreciated

that heat gun though! Can't find it anywhere... please do tell!

Hello buddy, I want to make build space ships plastic models 7 ships and there will be 50 led diodes …. I will make them windows, engines, landing bays add…. I want them connect with 12V adapter . How I should connect them?? I have to use 1k resistor to each diode? Will it work?? Thanks

According to google a voltage regulator should be used. Thoughts?

I need this for my rc cars. How short are the cut marks?

can you make it dimmable?

Hey mate I want to do something a bit similar but want to make grow lights for for using a car battery and LED UV lights. as Long as I used 12 volt lights or over it is fine on a 12volt car battery yes? Do I not need a invertor to reduce the power? I read a fully charged acid batter is 12.7, Using over this voltage in LED's is fine yes is it, but puts out less light? Less that 12Volt lights and you will burn them out.

Hi Brian; great video; where did you purchase your 12v power supply?

I thought the lights would burn out without the correct power supply ??

Can I use a house lamp plug?

Jesus Brian, you used triple protection on the TIP!!!

USB isn't powerfull enough

Does this "jSMD50/50 led strip you refer to come with adhesive backing. Is it DIMMABLE ? Can you only cut on the 1 ft. increments as you seemed to indicate. Can you buy led tape that is different luminosity (brightness)? Can you buy led tape that is different heat color (Kelvin)? As you are showing these fairly intricate processes, your camera is 3ft. + or - from your work greatly limiting the detail what you are trying to depict. If you want us to "see" what you obviously see, the camera should be much closer. Be careful with that open flame torch. I believe that liquid tape is made with acetone. :)
