💡QuinLED💡Amazing 2023 'Addressable Neon' LED strip!

It's a new year and a new type of addressable LED strip has become available which I can only describe as "Addressable Neon". It's a 24v COB Addressable LED strip with 720LEDs/m and addressable zones of 5cm each. I think this is going to be the perfect addressable LED strip for a lot of projects because of ease of use and just how it looks!

Thank you for staying on the bleeding edge of all things blinky.

Looking forward to your next video. Hopefully it's a CCT strip with great CRI/RA value.

[victormultanen]

thank you for good news on topic addressable led strips.

[Badgr]

This is good information. I'm a dreamcolor specialist that has worked in the field and paid for our marriage with the strips and knowledge. I love them!!!!

[edgar]

Thanks! I will put LEDs everywhere in my new renovated apartment. I am planing this since about a year and now I really need to buy them. So this is the perfect timing with your video. A week or two later and I would have bought the "old" types. Thanks! I just ordered 15m to have a closer look at them. Currently I have some Dig-Quads but I guess it's time that I build the Dig-Octa.

Huzzah for this! :) Thank you for sharing the good news.

Very helpful and educational. For those of us not yet into the addressable/programming world, where could I find a good rating of the best 24V CCT (tunable) LED strip lights? I'd like COB, but I have a pretty unique use case where I need to either find a strip rated below 4.5w/ft, or buy a second proprietary driver/controller at $130. I'm stuck with the AmbienTech DimTone/DriveTone setup which is capped at 90W and I need to run 19ft under kitchen cabinets.

Thanks for reviewing this more in detail, awesome video!

You brought up a great point, I bought the 336 led per m and found it was also only addressable per section. Initially I felt it was scammy because the sellers always describe it as "individually addressable". Although you have a good point that 24v would definitely help reduce the wire thickness requirements, especially for primary lighting and integration to typical households, since normal lighting and LED cables are almost always installed with thinner cabling. I bought 5v ones instead of 12 or 24v because I saw in another channel that they're more energy efficient, but this one might change my mind.

What about the 24V white high CRI strips you talked about in a livestream? Not so good?

[DIYtechie]

Looks great and I am tempted, but 120 watts for 5 meters is just too much. This is the reason I only use LED strips a few places in the house.

My old led strip under the bed used 60 watts so I replaced with a single smart bulb which uses 8 watts for basically the same amount of light. LED strips just have a nicer spread/focus.

Your videos are great thank you very much

[DucksSpitPPG]

Anyway u can make a video on the software setup for thw 24 volt cob and wled? Not sure my settings are right. Thanks great video!

[sevagj.b]

Nice, I will try it
By the way very good video 👌🏻

LED "Non neon" has been available in standard analogue RGB for a while, and it's great to get that neon sign look without using neon. Addressable strips like this are an awesome move forward, though they no longer really look like NEON anymore as Neon strips are one colour by their natue. The fexibility of this type of strip really is the big advantage over the standard strips, and being 24Volt, it really helps with voltage drop. The 240 pixel per metre means that even if addressing multiple LED's in a block, it makes it a lot less noticeable and makes the whole strip smoother.
I'd love to see more matrix LED projects in that interests you in the future. We have a lot of strips already :)

It looks really great! I always wanted to do something with APA102 or APA108, but I could never really figure out arduino... I have a lot of experience using strips like WS2813, but nothing with a clock wire, and unfortunately I'm not tech savvy enough to use anything other than preprogrammed controllers... You should be proud of what you accomplished with this project.

[MrChrischrystal]

When will they make these with IP65 though

[soli_]

These look amazing. Ordered some to play with. I guess we can dream of a sk6812 high CRI version on a high density cob strip that can be used as primary lighting and effects might be a long way off

[chad]

Any update on the "revolutionary" strip you mentioned?

[maduude]

That's so cool!
But I have trouble choosing the right strip for my room. I was initially looking to get the 332 led/m, to run it from ceiling to floor. But that distance would be 3 meters, from your video I assumed that that's a problem because they are only 5v? So for 3 meters this 720led/m strip would be better, but the animations would not be as cool due to the 5cm zones? So this is best for a color gradient? And for any less dense strips I would need a cover i guess?
Thanks and keep it up with your videos, they are really awesome and inspired me to want to start my own project :D
