All these comments about wanting just specific DIY content is a bit odd. This is a part of figuring out which setup will look best for your project. He is spending the time and effort to show you so you don’t buy the wrong thing and get an end result you wouldn’t be happy with. Thanks for doing what you do Chris. It is greatly appreciated. God bless!

I love your videos, I’m 59 years old and after watching several of your videos, I know I’m also capable of doing some great things with LEDs. My next project is ikea shelves with led lights on top to show off the glassware. Thanks and have a blessed day.

Chris, you are the primo source for info on LEDs!

I was thinking of buying these aluminum profiles one day, so this video was just what I needed. 10/10

loved the video!! thinking of doing my own DIY project, so your videos are always super helpful. keep up the great work :)

I’m literally using the COB LEDs and diffuser channels at my setup lol. What a coincidence. Great vid as always

Another great vid Chris. One thing I'll mention is that the light intensity effects the diffusion as well, so it matters if you're testing max brightness vs. real-world applications (for those who have space constraints)

This dude's house is so crazy it looks CGI.! 🤯

Nice video Chris as always! I was wondering how you managed to get your colors to fit so perfectly with the displayed pictures during the demo at the end? Is it by trial and error or you have some special tool to help?

Thank you Chris.

First of all, it looks awesome Chris, you always take your set up to the next level, I did a project with some shelves using that corner profile with 144 leds per meter ws2812b but I'm still getting the hot spots, so now I know how to fix it, once again thanks for the inspiration

I have used these strip lights in all my projects. I was thinking of trying this as well. I could not afford to buy them and test them myself so ty. I used 2 1 meter strips in the spotless corner diffuser. Those cost more. To make sure it worked out. It does they are a little wide for 2 strips but work well and very bright. I was just sure to line the segments up well so it looks like 1. The ones you testested here will save alot of my cost when using them over spotless. Ty again.

So first and foremost- I'm more excited than you know that you're posting videos using COB Lights!!! Govee is coming out with their own COB Light! PLEASE order it as soon as you can so you can be one of the first to post about it!!! You usually always do such a great job keeping up to date. As I always say, you continue to inspire me with every video and with that I'm honestly grateful for your content. I mean it bro!!!! Have a great day Chris 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Nice, thank you. I actually used black aluminum corner profiles (with black diffusers) and a COB RGBA strip and put that all around the edges of my gaming table. When off they're stealthy, just blending in with the table itself. And when turned on it's like the entire edge glows. Those COB strips are trivial to diffuse, since they almost don't need them (especially on a higher brightness level/also consider there are different levels of density on those COB strips as well).

Since i have started watching your videos, i want to do Led projects as a side hustle. Your projects encouraged me to install Led all over my room and i am so satisfied. Thanks for producing such amazing content. You are a blessing. Have you any recommendations how to get started?

YES

Hey Chris, what’s the cleanest best way to do inside and outside corners? Your inside corner on the left side of the room looks great

Love the video❤

Great video!

Very informative video man! I was windering if you could make a video about custom pucklights that use wled?

perfect! I was wondering which diffusers I could get away with with these LEDs. I was about to do a pretty big project and this will save me money!

For the toe kick of the kitchen cabinets will you go for a corner profile or a regular one?

Hi Chris. Thanks for the video. I have a couple of projects planned and this will help me out. While looking for the COB LED on BTF seller profile in Aliexpress, these exact same strips are advertised as not compatible with WLED/ESP32 controllers and require their own controller BTF lighting. I am pretty sure it is just a way to force you to buy their own ontroller but wanted to make sure. I see you are using WLED, so should not be an issue.

nice job

Hey, cool video! I'm thinking of putting these on my bed but want to know if they give off a nice warm white light. Mind sharing your thoughts?

Loving your videos! I just did my first LED project mostly following your tutorials. Have you ever tried a mini ESP32 controller? Like a D1 mini ESP32. I'm searching for something like that that would allow me to pack things in a tiny box as most of these controllers and power supplies take up quite a bit of space.

Hi Chris, I'm brand new to LED lighting. I'm curious about 2 things. First, I really like the movement effects of the lights in the video, and I'm not sure if that is sound reactive, or a program? Second, I want to install a similar system outside (70' in 10 foot sections). Are the LED's you used suitable for outside? If not, what would you recommend? I mostly want white, but the color effects are awesome! Thanks for the awesome video! I didn't even know about diffusers until I watched it!

Another great video Chris. How is your projector and ALR screen holding up?

Hi Chris did you see Govee now has an LED strip with diffuser channels all in one package?

hello. i have some questions about the sihoo chair you have, firstly would you still recommend it, now after 6 months? - if so - how suitable would it be for tall (6ft+)/thin/light people? is it comfortable to sit cross legged or any other way that requires both your feet on the chair - such as having your elbow on knee?

Did you use a correlating corner piece for each size channel or are these just butted up against each other to make a continuous channel?

How would i use one driver/controller feeding x4 alcove ahelve lights? Is it just take the x2 wires from each light into a crimp connector then the controller? Thanks

using the 6mm channel, can you do a side by side with the 4pixel per inch an the Cob?

What's the model of the TV? Thank you for your great content!

What’s your thought on the 15mm channel?

Cool video

I think your whole house is going to be an LED soon haha. Great stuff as usual.

Hey, Great Video! I have a tiny question, how did you manage to match the LED lights to what was on the TV Screen during the demonstration? I appreciate you! have a blessed day

I'm new to LED lighting and looking for a permanent outdoor option that is minimal and not easily noticed during the day. Is this applicable for outdoors and/or what do you suggest?

Did you come across any on camera flicker when filming these?

If I wanted to control under cabinet lighting with a wall switch, how would you do that? I have access to attic.

Have you gotten a chance to test out Muzata U107 with COB strips? Could be even better than the U1SW

Hello Chris. Quick question. Do you think that a combination of 6mm around a standing desk (like yours gaming setup) and Muzata U Shapes u108 on the walls (with sk6812) are gonna look good? I mean the lighting is gonna be equal/same or maybe you can see the difference because of different channels? Your setup has muzata everywhere.

Hey Chris 👋 Im not sure that you're aware of Govees new "Strip light with cover" as it is the latest product from Govee.. I personally just received one myself and I absolutely love it but id love to hear your thoughts on the product in a future video! Love what you do! -Ryan-

How are you able to shoot your strips with them overdriveing the video? Mine are always washed out.

can you make a tutorial using a potentiometer using Arduino?

You were using a 12V LED strip which means that one IC controls 36 LEDs. That's why one segment of several centimeters always have the same color. If you use a 5V LED Strip instead, one IC only controls 2 (!) LEDs. This would give you even a better result. However, depending on the length of the strip, the current could become a problem...

Heya Chris, question for ya: The width of the LED COB strips per BTFs specs are 12m, but the Muzata channel width for the Corner (V shaped) channel diffusers are spec'd at 10mm. Your video shows how well they work regardless, but did you have any trouble installing the COB strips in the V channel diffuser frame?

I know you didn't mention it, but how much do the diffusers affect perceived brightness? I ask because I'm planning a 12M+3M*4 (12M is perimeter, 3M*4 is corners) and right now my total cost using the 96LED/M Muzata strip you showed is just around $300 depending on the prices of the day. Since I'm planning on running the perimeter strips where the wall meets (10ft) I've been debating buying COB no diffusion since the strip will be hard to see that high to save money and gain brightness. But, since you have everything in hand: If all the strips will be white most of the time to be used as main lighting (yes I want it dim) and effects will be used some of the time do feel that the Muzata is the best bang for the buck or do you have a different recommendation for that? Also big thanks for all the videos you do with this stuff. I was able to use your Govee perm light guide to install mine this year without any issues, and I'll be getting into WLED using the same lessons with this project!

Have you ever done an installation that the LED's on/off can be controlled by a light switch? Walk into the room, flip a switch, and multiple different led applications light up at the same time.

Would a more opaque cover with the 4mm allow for its use without the bleed through?

Would you consider using the 6mm diffusers in under kitchen cabinet lighting?

Really like your videos, but can you please provide direct link to the products instead of search results?

Do you know if Muzata has started making continuous diffusers for the V-shape channel? Also, I signed up for Aura with your link a while back. Seems to have helped with the political spam text messages.

3:17 Fuck I've been looking for something like this. Do you know if there's a place I could buy these in like 1" up to 4" widths?

I need a corner diffuser that is less than 16mm on the sides, ideally around 12. I have yet to find one, have you ever seen one that shallow?

why does some audio come in so loud on some videos more so the others when the volume on user end remains the same? It doesn't make any sense to me on just how loud some can blast the speakers even while at a low volume.

My wled have flicking randomly changing colour i was using ws1812b with esp22 and mobile charger 5v 2a any solution do you have?? Tota 218 led

what controller and what power supply for the 15 m WS2812B DC5V tape ???

Please tell me what Diffuser I can buy at a reasonable price. I don't care if it's not Amazon.

Is that a Stadia controller in the middle?

Nice comparison. Just out of curiousity (re. your sponsor) ... do we really think that the "marketing companies" who are breaching people's privacy, have stolen personal details and are sharing / selling this information are really likely to pay attention to a request from Aura to delete data from their records? It's a bit like when you receive spam email: DO NOT REPLY TO IT OR UNSUBSCRIBE (unless it's from a well-known provider) as all you're doing is confirming that your email address exists ... which means that email address gets added / sold for another spam initiative. Technically, YES, Aura does what it promises to ... but their approach is not actually a good strategy.

Anyone use those silicone LED diffusers?

Why do those LED strips have to be lit in groups and not each single LED?

I liked your DIY content more... this review is nice but nothing that I want to watch instantly if the video drops. When you did more DIY stuff I did that

I hate the LEDs are only able to be controlled in blocks

Hey! could you please read my comment on your speaker stand video?🤝 appreciate it

how much would this exact set up cost with 3 rolls of cob lights
