Question- is it possible to install a separate on/off switch and not need the remote to turn it on? Or can I use my on/off switch, then use the remote just for color/dimming? I

Still waiting on how you did the splicing and wiring to the led strips into your system. Can you cover that and notify me and Jaques who also seemed to have commented! Thanks, I've been watching all your videos!

Thank You for the reminder, I will put that on the to do list. I will do a video soon on connecting DC, and running electrical lines to the fuse panel. Covering LED, Pumps, everything 12 volts. Hope to post this within the next two weeks.

You mentioned you would do another video regarding splicing and wiring the led strips into your system. Are you still planning on doing that? I have questions as I bought the same items but I am sure you would cover all these in your video and I can wait.

Just checked Amazon. Have you tried the warm light version?
@FrugalFactor
@FrugalFactor 2 жыл бұрын
The warm light version is a different color temperature, a little yellowish. Many people like that better - its less harsh than the daylight version I am installing. I just like the bright white. Just a personal preference.

@@vandaddy-o2732 6500K is the color temperature. Dimming does not change the color. Best to Google color temperature to see what I mean or buy some low cost LEDs and try them both out to see which you like best.

What size wire are you using for your 12 volt system
@FrugalFactor
@FrugalFactor Жыл бұрын
See this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7B3jctnzr2Zc3k.html I have used 12AWG for most of the 12V wiring. I have used low cost 16AWG extension cords for some LED lights. I purchased different color 16AWG extension cords. So, if I need to track down any problems in the future I can easily track what wire goes to each set of LEDs, because each LED circuit is a different color wire.
