Who told you that's gaffer tape?because what you described & what it appears to be is masking tape for painters and decorators. Gaffer tape contains cotton thread and is very heavy duty which leaves loads of residue

It is blue gaffers tape. I have chroma green gaffers tape. I am been in the lighting industry for 25 plus years. Good gaffers does not leave a ton of residue. Good gaffers tape leaves no residue. That is why you can wrap a cable in it, tour the world with it and be able to peel it off and not leave a bit of residue. That is why it is used in the industry. It l doesn’t bake on like duct tape or get gooey like electrical tape. Enough to show I might actually know what I am talking about. This stuff has grown on trees through out my career and I have so much of it lying around.

Wonderful video, we are redoing our frontroom this weekend. My husband suggested we add led behind the TV. We will for sure be using this style. My husband has installed a led strip in our bedroom thats connected to a backup battery bank that's charged by solar. Last 3 years we have never used the over head lights in the room. He found them at Walmart on clearance for 3 dollars he bought 6 packs. Led strips is the way to go for sure. We will be buying the strips you recommended. Thank you for a great video

IMHO soldering short cables for the corners is the best way to do this. No stress on the strips and no hot spots. I know not everyone can do that, but if you have the ability, that's what I would do. Also I know there are 90° clips that can be used instead of soldering. Can't speak to their quality or ease of use though. One final note, 3M VHB tape works way better than most of the double sided tapes included with the various strips, especially for surfaces that are tough to stick to.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think it is a great solution to do connectors if someone is comfortable with it. The only thing I would add, is pay attention to the type of LED your cutting. LIFX has 3 safe cutting points that are not convenient. I think solid strips without zones help too. I haven’t tried it with any strips with my main ones being LIFX. Thanks for the tape suggest and connector suggestion. Good stuff.

The Govee Immersion has a 1080p camera to “look” at your TV and mimic the colors on it as the back light. Great product for the money and I installed it on my living room and bedroom TVs. Makes for a wonderful experience and has different modes and is a smart device compatible with Alexa and Google. I would be interested in your opinion of the Govee Immersion H6199.

I had not come across the LIFX strip before as have bought a couple of the Nanoleaf led strip and like those. Put one in the back of a tv and instead of trying to stick directly on the back of the tv I bought some sticky clips that have a loop style clip and ran the strip thru the clips and faced the light out. Seemed to work well and did not have to worry about bending the strip as the clips held it in the back of the tv.

I would be more open to cutting and do corners on some of the solid color non addressable LEDs strips or an RGB set That can easily be connected. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

Your tutorial is great info but there's a couple of things I'm having trouble getting details on. I'm not going full smart home, at least not yet, and to my mind the two things I'd like my bias light to do is..... 1- Resume the last brightness setting the strip was at when it last turned off. And 2- Adjust brightness based on the room's ambient light. 2 is more optional but I really prefer not to have to futz with the light every single time I turn the screen on. Can you fill me in please? Much appreciated.

Zakota 90 degree Corners are great if the strip supports cutting in multiple areas. You can only cut and reattach about every 20”. I am all for corners if the product you use supports. But I also want to do an approach that the majority of people will do. 90% of people will never cut their strips. They will do some weird bend corners that won’t lay flat anywhere. That is where this helps. To the other guy, you don’t have a clue. But good to be condescending.

I don’t have any particular brands to look for. I would recommend something that has one solid zone and is not multiple zones. The solid strips tend to be easier to cut and join back together. Ideally I would try to get something with white LEDs in it. But the RGB ones tend to be easier to cut in half for 10 connectors for them. When it comes to connectors make sure it is the right width in millimeters next to the strips you have. They have some great connector options I do not require any soldering. I hope this helps.

@Craig"s Tech Talk. So I have been looking into getting some backlights for an LG OLED C1 55 inch TV but our TV is on a stand at angle with both sides hitting each wall just to give you an idea of how far the back of TV is from the wall. 2 questions will I get much reflection if I was to use backlighting on the TV in this position, basically it is the only Alcove that suits the layout of our TV Room. I was looking at getting the Hue system but decided against it. Then I was looking at the Lytmi Neo HDMI 2.0 system you may of heard of these systems the LEDs sync almost perfectly with the color on the screen. I really could do with any help the system you put together looks really cool but with the systems I mentioned above you get brackets that have adhesive on them once there on you go around and attach the LEDs. It just looked easier for someone like myself who has never worked with anything like this before. I live in Ireland so there's not a great range of anything here. Basically it's by watching reviews I get to see what others are using and how each system work's. One system is about €400 the other is less than half that's the sync box ect everything you need in the one box now if you tell me in your opinion my TV is to far to get any real benefits from the backlights then I'll just scrap it. But maybe you might have another suggestion. What a great informed video you gave.

No they don’t. You are making things up. You have to cut and add corners.

EXCEPT: LOOKING DIRECTLY AT LEDS IS REALLY BAD FOR YOUR EYES. Always use a shade or something to block LEDS from direct light to the eyes.

@@CraigsTechTalk I buy a Philips TV in 2016 and the main reason is ambilight leds. Unfortunately it has only lateral leds but for the position in my house they're good enough.

Bias lighting: The goldfish-stocked platform shoes of the 2010s. It is designed to sell you crap and nothing more. The eyestrain myth is particularly ludicrous. Eventually you'll get sick of living in a carnival ride at night and move on to wearing bell-bottoms and wide ties.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you concerning the eye strain "myth", Bob. I have experienced a good amount of eye strain when trying to watch a television in a dark room. I, myself, have always experienced this. Even if I don't go the route of colored background lights, I always have a lamp on elsewhere in the room. That's the nice thing about opinions, right or wrong; everybody has one. Hope to see you on Saturday on Craig's KZitem stream!
