This video was absolutely pointless.

"How to" - But where did that mythical 12v supply wire hanging out come from?? This is the equivalent of saying how to add a new light receptacle, but not showing the wires being ran or junction box being installed, only showing the fixture being wired up.

How to peel tape backing. Thanks.

Instead of the electrical tape use a large diameter shrink tubing to slide over both wires.

How did you guess???!!! As if by wild coincidence I gather ToH are featuring an entire house rebuild ... in that very location ... Mad or wot!!?

Running the cable is the hard part of that job, but I guess that’s best left to a pro. But don’t fit the cover into the track before testing that the strip lights up! You don’t have to wait until dark for that, although showing us the finished effect after sunset would have been the obvious and professional thing to do.

3:54 Wait until it's dark? It would have been nice if they would have said that stand then they would have gone to a dark scene and showed the lights and how they looked at night?

I think we all agree they left without showing us how it looked in the night.🤦‍♂️

What happened to party time?

Nice little educational video, but on an exterior application where do you place the LED driver so that it is not an eye sore and protected from the elements.

Wish I coils see the finish product as well and maybe link to the product.

Beautiful

Heat shrink tubing is not a waterproof connection.

They should put the products they use in the description.

Hmm, why use such an old fashioned method? Soldering went out with the Ark. If you get a duff joint then back to the beginning. And why no test before applying the shrink wrap? All in all not a very satisfactory demonstration. Might be a more sensible method to use bootlace ferrules and Wago 221 connectors. At least you can get a meter on the test point for fault finding.

I wanted to see the finished project

Another successful finished product demonstration....Jesus...KZread amateurs are better than this.

here are wires that magically grow out of the house

Cool application but what about getting the power supply install ? would be just as - or more - helpful

What was the product being used? Any links for the lights? I would love to install these lights around my house!

Nice gonna have to suggest to my customers

How do you not show the finished product?

Electrician here. Not going to be bright enough LOL I would’ve installed a track on every other beam

Its a benificial vid👍

Amazon, cheap as, and some have remote to change colours. Might have to source a PSU to convert mains to 5v or possibly 12v, but again cheap as.

About 58 seconds into the video the UL listing number and company name are shown. Alloy LED

Add a short clip at end so we can see it light up in the night.

This old house videos give me blue balls. "Let's see how it looks... just kidding, bye!"

Mine comes without backing tape on it !! I don't know how to use it ..

3:03 you never do what at 120v junction? What is okay because it's 12 volt junction?

I was hoping to see a night video shot with the lights on

Needs to learn what Flux is and how to use it, If you notice the connection after he soldered it youi can still see bare copper in the solder joint. Flux core solder is NOT what it's hyped up to be, Theres so little flux in the solder you have to flood the joint with solder to get enough solder to slean and prep the connection. No-corrode solder paste is the only way to do it.

This channel is just a continuous rick roll.

What happened to the original sparky?

Probably didn’t work.

It looked great at night...oh wait 🤔

The apprentice appears to like his apprenticeship

Come on guys show the product and the end result. Thank you

those lights looked great wtf

Hey TOH, What is happening to your videos??? This new format is not working.

@t1n4444

Possibly they have a new production team who are tasked with editing entire ToH TV episodes down to a few minutes solely for posting on YT? Perhaps they have edited an entire sequence into bite size chunks so easily and readily digested? Perhaps next time we see the apprentice being trained on how the work the light switch?

Still don't have any idea of how to install this

That solder job was terrible, he was painting that solder on vs letting it flow. There are a lot of people asking where is the finished product but these are more in depth shorts that come from full episodes.

There are solderjoints on the market who solder and shrink in one pass... Why don’t you use this? I recommend to run a thicker power cable with the strip and connect them every few ft. especially on longer strips. If not the most away from power feed are way darker than the ones close to the connector. And btw: a ledstrip is nothing without a proper controller and a gateway to your home automation system. Pls see thehookup or dr zzzs channel to get to actual standards.

no night shot. shoddy video production. lol

Ways This Old House failed in this video. 1) Did not show how to run power or LED driver unit (if applicable)

This could have been a lot better if they used Wifi connected LED smart light tape.

Come on...could've taken a vid at night!

It doesn't work, eh?

They literally just showed us how to shrink tube 2 wires and peel an adhesive back. Well done TOH! (useless)

Indian current voltage 230 50 HZ is urs cuntry

it didn't work so you didn't show us the end? 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

And it never worked lol..

Another crap video from TOH. Looks like this is the new normal. I’m out.

So I watch the entire video and then you don't show the end product on how it looks at night, what a joke.

This whole comment section is a bunch of cry babies.

Downvoted it cause it didn’t show the finished product in action

After all that they don't show what it looked like at night. Boo!

Bob Vila is not impressed. Guess ToH is dead.

Who even is this?

You did it totally wrong Doug.

Love your videos even keeping them up In the pandemic

The fact that they didn't show it lit up at night for the finished project, tells me that this came out terrible and didn't work. WTG TOH! 👎
