🩸 The Ultimate DIY Guide to Building weBLEEDfpv LED Tubes

Step 1 – Measure & Prep

• Cut a piece of tape the same length as your tube.

• Stick it to your bench as your template.

• Leave ¼” of play on both ends.

💡 Pro Note: Don’t cut LEDs flush to the tube—you’ll need that wiggle room.

Step 2 – Cut & Wire the LEDs

• Cut your LED strip to match the tape length.

• Solder on 3-wire JST plugs.

• ⚡ Critical: Follow the flow of electricity—arrows on the strip must all face the same direction.

💡 Pro Note: Every plug must follow the same path, or your chain won’t light.

Step 3 – Mount LEDs Inside the Tube

• Peel off the LED strip’s backing.

• Hold upright and carefully slide into the tube.

• Use a thin rod/pole to press the strip flat against the inside wall.

• Ensure it’s straight, centered, and stuck evenly.

💡 Pro Note: Work slow—the straighter the strip, the cleaner the glow.

Step 4 – Build Obstacles & Connect Runs

• Use daisy chain cables + 2-way JST plugs to connect tubes inside obstacles.

• Always double-check your flow direction before sealing it up.

💡 Pro Note: Test each tube individually before wiring into a full obstacle.

Final Checks

• Confirm all strips light individually.

• Connect them in sequence.

• Step back and admire that weBLEEDfpv glow 🩸.
