just gonna simply cut right where that black line is and we're gonna make sure
we insert that right in there so there's corners that you can do which
is the L shape and you can also do the T shapes connected three different corners
together which we've done in plenty of places right here L shape T shape now I
don't know if you ladies are like me but I am inspired I feel like cutting all up
and putting them everywhere what do you think is a great idea
welcome to the home automation X Channel today we're going to show you exactly
how to install LED lighting and how to control it from your smart home I'm here
with Sheila and Cindy how are you guys today
wonderful wonderful now a great thing about this video is that we are going to
actually be following a long suit a similar one but it's different so what
we have done in a previous video is that we had soldered two wires together and I
have shown you how to do that now this is a take-off on that now as always if
you want to see previous content or be alerted of future content you're gonna
want to subscribe and how you do that is click on that bell icon up there and
make sure that you are alerted for future content so you can get the latest
and the greatest in this video we're going to cut the LED lighting and splice
around the corners and show you how to fit them under the cabinet so these
lights here were sent to us from lighting ever the features that includes
is it's working voltage as 12v are adaptable to just 100 to 240 there's 300
LED lights that come with it and it's also waterproof ip65 it's five meters
long and it comes with RGB color the life expectancy is 50,000 hours and it's
only 24 dollars these beautiful LED lights can be found on Amazon using a
link below as well as other connectors now speaking of connectors and speaking
of where to find them let's get started shall we we have them right here and I
want to show you what they look like so let's open the box without further adue
because I know you're excited to go in here I sure have okay so we got our dad
up there we go connectors we got our power we got the doohickey this is the
one that actually controls the color-changing aspect and here they are
pair this okay so these ones were brought locally now as you can see this
one is every four inches you have the cut lines and we're gonna zoom in just
to show you now that is every four inches this one is every six inches
again so it's a little longer and you know some people prefer more length let
me tell you size does matter this is every two inches it gets more precise
precise because if you're doing this under your cupboard your cabinet
anything you want to make sure that you don't have all of that excess hanging
off you want to be as precise and close to the point as you possibly can
that's why the two inch job is where it's at
alright so now we're gonna do a comparison of the different variations
in length this one here is our four inch as you can notice with the cut lines
every four inches this one here greater length every six inches and then for our
newbie on the block it's every two inches so as you can see here every two
inches and that is going to allow for an even more precise cut so now we have the
cutting ceremony this will allow us to move on to the connections so what we're
gonna do is we're just gonna cut along the cut lines here and voila not easy
here we are next stage so now we're going to be cutting in between the
letters and this light right over here I'm using an exacto knife you can also
use a box knife I can even use a steak knife here and just going to simply cut
right where that black line is
so now that we put a little slit in there we're gonna just peel it right off
so we have that there so we're grabbing our connectors which
I've already opened up we're gonna slide it right in here you'll see it fits
perfectly all right so then we snap that into place and now we can put in our L
shape here just for our corners slide that into place snap that in there so
now we got our second connector right here we're gonna slide that one and fit
it right in easy as that so what you want to make sure you do is there's the
letters written right here and it says plus twelve so you want to make sure the
plus twelve is running only on the top not at the bottom and we're gonna make
sure we insert that right in there there we go snap those two into place and
there we have it all right I'm excited I mean after all of our hard work let's
see if these are actually working what do you think of course and really it
wasn't that hard at all you know you can change it to red oh now I don't know if
you ladies are like me but I am inspired I feel like cutting all up and putting
them everywhere what do you think lovely great idea I'm getting a little super
happy it's amazing what scissors and sesterce
can do when they're very inspired and Iike what did we create here well
normally we wouldn't create a pattern like this but we're just having a little
bit of fun we just wanted to show you guys that there's different options that
you can do here so there's the corners that you can do which is the L shape and
you can also do the T shapes connect three different corners together which
we've done in plenty of places right here L shape T shape T shape you can see
it looks beautiful so those corner ones are also referred
to as the 90-degree angles which is pretty neat and as you can see it seems
like somebody's having a lot of fun so we can get creative with the routine and
we can even call on our friends to help us establish this with the z-wave and
connection to our phone or anything else let's see this in action shall we you
want to take it away Alexa turn off the strip lights okay Wow
so now let's turn the back on Alexa turn the strip's lights on okay now yet
another way to turn on and off our fabulous LED lights is through the
smartphone so we've actually configured it to the my home setting which you can
peruse on our links below we do have access to our previous videos where
we've shown you how to set that up and what you're gonna do is you're gonna
press on the off switch and that will actually turn off your device and now
I'm gonna turn it on just to show you how easy it is we have a set in the
garage which brightens everything up we also have an outdoor set under the
gazebo it's perfect to brighten up the area and to change the color depending
on our mood an inexpensive way to lighten up the party now you can
