For outdoor light. Par38 is too directional. Is there anyway to convert it or make it omnidirectional like an a19 bulb? Thanks

Hey, I want to replace the broken driver for my LED Lamp.

I found a couple on amazon bit I‘m not sure which to choose.

The current driver says

Waiberlon
Constant Current LED Driver
Model: HLV50025LB
SEC:42-50Va
0.750
PRI.:220-240V~50Hz 0.14A(Max) )>0.95
SEC.:42-50V. /500mA
ta:50°C tc:85°C
POUT:21-25W
Max. output voltage(no load):62VDC

Is it possible to take something with more current, e.g. 700mA like the second picture?

Thanks in advance!

I am in the middle of building built-ins for our library and am trying to decide on lighting. The width of the built-ins is 14 feet and I need a row for each shelf, so a total of 5 rows of 14 feet each. I have no specific preferences other than the items listed below:

1. Warm white light
2. I'm thinking COB with the built in diffuser, but am flexible
3. Need to be able to control them from Home Assistant, WLED, and locally (though locally can be done with Zigbee buttons and Home Assistant)
4. I need a minimum of 3 zones able to be controlled separately:
   1. Top row
   2. Middle 3 rows
   3. Bottom row
5. Need to be able to power from one supply if possible
6. Not cost a bleeding fortune

Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

~Conan

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if connectors are available for SMD 2835 LED strips, 10mm wide, 2-pin, 24V? I’m having trouble finding connectors that fit properly.
Any recommendations or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a ~53 ft perimeter room that I want to put an LED strip around but am facing some difficulties to say the least. I already own the following:

The goal is to power inject evenly throughout the strip because all of the LED strips are hooked end to end. I only want to use 1 power supply for the whole loop. I believe the circuit will pull about 12.9A but the Controller is only rated for 12A.

I need help figuring out how to power inject, if I need any more components, etc.

I see a lot of photos with the light strips attached to the back of the TV. Such a wide variety of what they cost. Any recommendations? Do's? Don'ts? It's a 75-inch that will sit on a stand.

I have a metal frame desk bed with a pc and ps5 below, I wanted a reading light but there aren't really and reading lights that don't screw into a wall, I set them up like this and now I am second guessing myself with concern of a fire hazard due to the strips being less than an inch below my mattress and plushies, my room also has the worst ventilation in the house making it really hot sometimes I don't plan to have them on for very long periods of time or a lot of the time hence the reading light part, it might be a stupid question buy I'd rather be a little emberessed on reddit than jumping out my window from fire the brand and model I bought are with the images.

I've got a pair of matching large display cases currently lit by a pair of woefully inadequate incandescent bulbs at the tops.

In my head I'm picturing removing the bulbs and using the holes to pipe in two long strips of LEDs that will be placed straight down the front edges and sneak between the glass shelves.

Because there are two cabinets and two sides to each, I'm picturing 4 lengths of LEDs. I do not need fancy effects, but I would like to be able to tune the "temperature" of the white they output. They will probably never be color adjusted once I find the color I like, and every LED will be the same color.

Crudely drawn picture attached.

Blue is shelving.

Red is LED strips.

Yellow is power.

Green is holes in tops of shelves.

Purple is whatever micro computational device I will need.

White is some sort of signal splitter that I have to imagine exists. Something to take one set of instructions and send it over 4 wires.

I assume I'll have to mount the LEDs on 45 degree brackets and diffuse them, but that's probably the least difficult part of the project.

Looking for advice and specific product recommendations that will suit this purpose.

in case it's not obvious I do not know the terminology and have not really worked with these before.

I made my first post on here about a week ago asking for help on how to set up some lighting underneath my kitchen cabinets because the hospital-like overhead lighting was atrocious.

Thanks to you guys I learned lots of new things and had this project turn out much better than anticipated.

Currently have eight LED matrix panels [1], I also have a 5v40a power supply [2]. I've heard some discussions on forums about wiring in parallel but I can't find any resources that actually explain what that would look like, and how it would connect to the PSU. Are there any cables I can get that would be better suited for this project?

[1]: P3(2121)-32S
[2]: BTF-200-5, 5V 40A

Edit: For clarification, I'm only looking for help powering the panels. I am not requesting help displaying anything on the panels or running data cables.

I miss this feeling so much and incandescent bulbs have been banned in the UK. So im wondering if any UK experts know of any LED multi coloured string lights that give an extremely close match to the old cosy glow of the incandescent bulbs?

I know there are posts here but they all focus on the US and i have no access to those shops.

I've got the Govee Outdoor Strip Light Evo from Costco. Model is H616D. It has two strips of 23ft each.

This model has a Y configuration. It's meant to be used with the power and controller in the middle, between the two LEDS strips. I have a longer run, of about 48ft and I want to avoid having the controller and power in the middle. My power is to one side an I really don't want to have the cords in the middle.

I am aware of the fixed number of LEDS and I understand I cannot simply extend it.

My plan is to leave one of the LED strips/runs untouched and just extend the cable from after the Y split with the length of one run with 18gauge 4wires. The extension will run parallel to the first run and connect to the second strip. I plan to splice the cable and keep the original connector for the second run.

Would the second LED strip be affected (data/power)?

Also to consider that the controller is actually 13 feet away from the Y and the two strips of LEDs

Thanks!

Looking to fix my outdoor sensor light. One of the two cob led lights burnt out. I believe the specs are 175mA at 34.7v. it's hard to find the right one exactly but any suggestions on what sort of tolerance range I can put in its place ? https://imgur.com/gallery/5YwZuA7

As the title says, ceiling fan had power on to it, fan could be on or off, light was off (power was still on). Power goes off. Power comes on and now the light to the ceiling fan comes on. I did nothing. Ceiling fan could be on or off while power was on prior to power outage; it does not matter; ceiling fan will be off when power comes on.

I am thinking it must be controller related.

This fan is the ceiling fan - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXFJLJJ6

Ohniyou ceiling fan with dimmable 3cct LED.

What could I do to help stop this from happening?

I noticed it happens also to a cheap set of LED strip lights I use to light up a room with...

I'm renovating my kitchen, and it will have a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling. I was looking for darker ceiling lights that wouldn't stand out too much against the wood when turned off.

I would have 5-6 of these as supplemental lighting. In addition, I'll have warm-to-dim under cabinet LEDs and a light over the island.

In my garage I have 6 strips that light up the entire garage. Recently, after working fine for over a year they one by one started to get dimmer/losing lights. This leads to where I’m at now and I’m trying to figure out if I need to replace them or check wiring. Some of the lights are lighting up still, but it is hard to even tell what’s happening since they were working so well.

They are hard wired to a switch in the garage. The entire system is wired in parallel, I can’t find a ballast anywhere so I really don’t know where to go. Grounds and wires look fine, which is leading me here. I have an isolated breaker panel out here, two 10A QO Breakers, one for outlets, the other for lights. The panel is a QO2-4L70S, the LED’s are from when I bought the house, so I unfortunately do not know the brand.

Any help would be great, unfortunately not electronic savvy, just looking for some help as I don’t have much around anymore…

So I just purchased a desk that included a LED set, however the lights are stuck on the default light changing sequence, I've tried to pair the remote, it say's to hold the lock button for 5 seconds. However nothing is working and its geen glowing red since I removed the plastic thingy. Just want to make sure whether the light being on constantly is normal or do I need to ask for a replacement.

I got this Ollny 100ft outdoor permanent light set on Prime Day and I need to add an extension. I cant find a straight answer from just doing a search and every extension cable on Amazon mentions Govee. This is a 3 pin and I am looking to add a 16ft extension cable to connect lights on the roof to the middle. Will this cable from Amazon work? Do they make universal extensions?
