we are going to see how to install LED strips in a cupboard
So Let's see the magic inside this cupboard
So
these are white coloured LED strips
which
I have installed in my cupboard
And as you have seen that the LEDs are ON
as I opened the door
And how this happened...
Let's see in this Video
You can see the LED strips are in
both compartments of my cupboard
This is the lower compartment
This is the upper compartment
So as you can see these are white LEDs
and if you have any other choice
then you can install LEDs of that colour too..
There is one Multi-Colour LED
which you use in your cupboard
if you like it!!!
This is N/O type switch
which turns the LED ON or OFF
after the door is opened or closed
This is a magnetic type switch
And...
as soon as the door is closed
the lights will turn off
this is a type of switch which is found in
your fridges or cars
but the switch I have used is a non-contact switch
and the switches used in your cars and fridges
are contact switches
and as you can see
here is a switch by which you can turn ON or OFF LEDs manually
which can be used
when you are cleaning your cupboard or
your doing something in the Daytime when you don't require Lights
So friends we are now above the cupboard
and let's see the wirng
and this a
AC-DC 12V Converter
and this has a
charger pin for old Nokia phones
and as you can see it has a hole inside it
this is where you have to connect the positive terminal of the LED lights
and the outer portion which you can see
this is where you have to connect the negative terminal of the LED lights
and by doing this we will be able to power our lights
and these were the connections above the cupboard
and these were the connections above the cupboard
and the remaining connection are below inside the cupboard
So friends we are now in front of the cupboard
and let's see the connections inside the cupboard
So
as soon as the doors are opened
the LEDs will turn ON
So to see the connections
We will turn off the lights
to see the connections properly
so this is the start of the LED strip
where you can see the red and black wire
and it almost covers my whole cupboard
and stops at the other end
so let's see the connections over here
so let's zoom in to see clearly
and as soon as this Strip ends
you have to cut the LED strip
at it's mentioned point which is denoted by the scissor sign
and after you have cut the led strip
the rest of the strip can be used in the below compartment
the rest of the strip can be used in the below compartment
and this is also to but cut in the same method as of above
and this is also to but cut in the same method as of above
and this is also to but cut in the same method as of above
if you cut it randomly from anywhere then some of your LEDs will not work
some of your LEDs will not work
So let's see the connections closely
so as you can see
the red wire is to be connected to the positive end
where it is written +12V
the red wire is to be connected to the positive end where it is written +12V
and the black wire is connected to the negative end
you have to observe the sign on the strip
and this red-black wire is to be connected on the above strip also
and this red-black wire is to be connected on the above strip also
and this red-black wire is to be connected on the above strip also
so that
both can work together
so this is the upper end which is the starting point of the LED
the red wire is connected to this black switch
the red wire is connected to this black switch
and from this switch
and from the switch the red wire is then connected to this magnetic switch
and from the switch the red wire is then connected to this magnetic switch
by which the lights will turn ON and OFF automatically
by which the lights will turn ON and OFF automatically
and these both wires go above the cupboard
through this hole
so this was all the connections for the LEDs
by which they are powered
so let's turn this lights ON
