ʻO ke koho ʻana i ke kāʻei LED maikaʻi loa e pili ana i kāu mea e hoʻohana ai. E hele kāua i kekahi o nā ʻano maʻamau a me ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai kēlā me kēia.

 

ʻO ka mua, ka mālamalama! Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi mea e ʻālohilohi maoli, e hele i nā koho ʻālohilohi kiʻekiʻe e like me ka 5050 a i ʻole 5730 LED strips. ʻIke ʻia lākou no ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka mālamalama, no laila e hoʻomālamalama maikaʻi ʻia kou wahi.

Aʻe, nā koho kala. Hiki mai nā ʻāpana LED i nā waihoʻoluʻu hoʻokahi-e noʻonoʻo i ke keʻokeʻo, ʻulaʻula, uliuli, a pēlā aku-a i ʻole i nā mana RGB, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā kala like ʻole. Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻololi i nā mea a i ʻole e pili ana i kahi vibe, a laila ʻo RGB paha ke ala e hele ai.

A inā e hoʻolālā ana ʻoe e hoʻohana i nā kukui ma waho a i ʻole ma nā wahi pulu, e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi mana wai ʻole—e nānā i nā helu IP65 a i ʻole IP67. He mea pono ke nānā hou aku e mālama pono i nā mea a pau a me ka hana maʻalahi. Eia kekahi, mai poina e pili ana i ka maʻalahi. Piʻo loa kekahi mau ʻāpana LED, maikaʻi loa ia no nā ʻaoʻao curved a i ʻole nā ​​​​wahi paʻakikī kahi e hana ʻole ai kahi kaula ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī.

He mea ʻē aʻe ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka ikehu—e hele i nā ʻāpana LED kiʻekiʻe inā makemake ʻoe e lōʻihi a mālama i ka uila. Hiki paha iā lākou ke kumukūʻai ma mua, akā pono lākou i ka wā lōʻihi.

 

I kēia manawa, e pili ana i ka ʻoki ʻana i nā ʻāpana—hiki ke ʻoki ʻia ka hapa nui o lākou, akā eia kahi ʻōlelo wikiwiki. E ʻoki mau i kēlā mau laina i hōʻailona ʻia e pale aku i ka pōʻino. Ma hope o kēlā, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui hou i nā ʻāpana me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hoʻohui a i ʻole ma ka soldering. E hōʻoia i ka hana mau ʻana o nā ʻāpana ʻoki me kāu kumu mana. Ma mua o ka hana ʻana i kahi kūʻai, he manaʻo naʻauao e nānā i ka manual huahana a i ʻole e kamaʻilio me kahi mea kūʻai aku e ʻike pono ua loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kūpono kūpono no kāu mau pono. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nīnau ʻana ma mua o ka hoʻopau ʻana i kahi mea i kūpono ʻole i kāu mea e ʻimi nei!
