How To Make RGB LED Strip lights which are waterproof
Requirements to make colorful LED Strip for Christmas tree
RGB LED Bulbs
Plastic tube (Water level tubes) available in local hardware shops
Copper wires(insulated/Normal) and Hot glue for waterproofing
Steps for Preparing LED’s
The RGB LED diodes which I will be using here is transparent and the light output is very clear
I want some faded and bright Lights not complete clear light
To Make this as faded lights, Rub LED bulbs on sand paper so that it gets scratched
Note: This process consumes little time as we have to do same process for remaining LED’s
Once this is done, using copper wires connect all LED bulbs in parallel
To enhance strength solder the Wires to legs of LED Bulbs
I Made 3 Strips of LED with 5 Bulbs each, which are connected in parallel, Join those strips to form a single length Strip
To insert LED to tube I have used string which is pre inserted inside plastic tube, Tie string to one end of LED and pull it inside tube
Once LED is completely inserted inside tube, Fill both the end of tube using Hot glue (make sure the glue is not too hot or else it might melt tube away)
Strip is ready to use, as I’ am not using any Resistor to protect the LED Strip, To power this I will be using 2v battery to power this entire strip
You can use this outdoors even In rain as it is made completely waterproof, ideal for Christmas tree decorations or for other light decorations, If you want to make Christmas decoration lights this will be the easiest way.
