Do you like this new COB style addressable LED strip or do you like the 5050 traditional style better? I'd love to hear your opinions! I think they offer a great new style to be used in projects! :D

Thank you very much for your description, I just started to play with LED and thanks to you I just skipped a lot of search on the subject. I subscribed so I don't miss any of your videos. BR from Czech Republic.

Another god tier video - thank you for your service to the LED strip community. I always look forward to your videos.

An RGBW addressable COB like the SK6812 is what I'm really hoping to see on the market one day.

Regardless, these high density COB strips are just so cool. I want them all!!

[NightshadeKc]

Thanks Quindor. Love all the updates. Keep them coming.

Your deep dives into the led strip types is always appreciated but dangerous for the wallet in the best way. I am excited to try these out. Seeing new LED types is great to see!
One thing that would be nice but doesn't really help with the main topic of the video is to put on screen what WLED effects you are using when showing the comparison shots.

As always, very informative and needed video!

[TechdoLiberal]

Great video as per usual :) I think these new cob strips will excel at small things, that require high resolution. When the price goes down we might start using them more often but the 5v requirement, being the cob type and high resolution really makes them great for things like mood lighting and such. Super cool!

[big-ted]

Finding the new COB style much more suitable for smaller projects and not having to worry about diffusion instead of using the old style and finding out that the leds are still visible after spending time diffusing them

[AERIALPXLCOM]

Thank you for your efforts! Very informative.

[DrZzs]

Now I've gotta make a Sphere out of COB lights!

[YT-Mac-User]

Thanks for providing great information. I just found your channel and website, both super informative as I ramp up learning all this. Looking forward to the 24V COB lights video as it sounds like a good fit for my next project (long run, but very near and visible).

Awesome video - I’m just finishing my 1st ever WLED project using the DigiQuad & this video gave me some ideas for my youngest son’s computer desk/study area. I see the purchase of an 8 channel Octi board in the near future

[edgar]

Thanks, I am looking forward to seeing the 24V version. And then it's time for shopping - more than 100m.

[MixPlays]

Awesome video! Is there a project guide or video on how you made the house sign with the led strip backing?

[LucidEnemy]

can we get a link to that heart lamp? I really want to do this for my first WLED project and have a very rough model built currently but I dont know the best way to model the base to hide the esp and barrel jack inside it

[Chad-mfvo]

Thanks Q, I am currently making a infinity cube with aluminum extrusion. I went the 3030mm size as I could only find LEDs of 7mm to fit the side of the extrusion.
Now seeing the 5mm COB lights and how good the 160 per metre perform, next cube will be running them I think using the smaller 2020 frame.
Using a digital with 3 power and data inputs.

Great video; The 5v addressable COB 240LEDs/m link in under the video is not working anymore.

[DavidKalwar]

When do you expect the 2nd Part video for longer projects to be published? I've been waiting patiently for my new project 😅

[TekWit]

Great video as always. I did not get why you needed two esp32. Indeed without added hardware it can drive 22 strips in full parallel mode and when using couple of shift registers 120 strips in full parallel

[kylegurney]

Man I am blown away at the level of detail you provide. I'm looking for 24V LED Cob style for my Christmas lights and I would really like to use your affiliate link if you have one? Money isn't an option I'm just looking for the best option out there as far as weatherproofing and adding strips together to complete the length?
