How much power can this support? I know it says to only use with LEDs, but LED DRLs may have different wattages.

I think they can support 5 watts, based on my memory. I had to return mine because it interfered with my Tire Monitoring System on my Ram truck.

It depends on how many LED strips you are working with. I have found these to only pull about 0.44 Amps for a 300 LED strip. You could have 10 strips tied together on one power supply and you would still only be pulling 4.4 Amps total. I have also found that when you tie full strips together you get a roll off on the tail end so the lights are not equally lit. You have to wire these parallel to avoid this issue, or that's what I found by working with these great new LED strips.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

How could it be 2 amps at 12v - that would be 24 watts of power consumption. Say we have 1.7fv at 60ma on each of the 48 LEDs. With resistors (as opposed to a CC power supply) this would consume about 420 mA. How do you get to 2amps?

Look at the information on your light strips it should tell you how many watts each strip uses and then you can decide what size LED driver that you need to power them all.

Should run lights with no problem... 25A is about the equivalent to a power point...

As long as you do not exceed 12w per channel. Check the wattage on the leds. I would guess that a 5050smd strip would draw about 10w. You'll probably be fine.

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it!Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

I have 2 LED bulbs connected. You are only limited by the rated wattage - just be sure to not exceed it and you'll be fine.

That sure is a good Question. I checked the product again and it does not state how many amps. I am going to use it with my LED light strip which only has a couple of amps but I would not use it for something bigger.

I don't know the answer. I use this to run 4 trees of four Electro 86 LEDs each. I've never tried to really tweak it as I primarily use single solid colors.

This is used primarily in 2 ways: you have a controller without enough power to drive a full RGB strip, or you want longer strips and need an amplifier between 16ft lengths. If your controller can drive any 12V RGB lights then it can drive this, and you put all your amperage intensive LED strips onto this amp. And if you just need more length, you put one of these at the end of the strip you are running and drive it with the first one, then the output drives the next strip.

You can run quite a few off of one power supply. Led use almost no power to run. I have limited 4 16 ft strips to one. Box. I have used one y. And connected 2 strips to each side. If you buy the led strips fom 2 seperate vendors, the wires won't match up.

If you bought several kits and used them independently with the supply provided with each (not connecting them together) it would work. However if you want to connect them together you would need to calculate the wattage of the entire run and buy an appropriately sized power supply. 5050SMD's draw about .24w per LED. This kit has 300 5050SMD's so it's 72 watts.

I have 5 of these, as long as you keep within the 15 amps and under 1775 Watts you will be fine. I run all my LED lights off these, and I have run digital ballast off these, but don't plug a power strip into this with 5 (1000 Watt) digital ballast on the end of the power strip. Hope this helps.

while this particular part does not specify max wattages, similar parts specify 45w per socket ... as led bulbs are likely to be far below this i don't see any problems (i'm sure the manufacturer is simply trying to be clear that this part is NOT intended for high-wattage incandescent bulbs - and as these parts have been available forever - and as fairly bright LED bulbs are a recent development, the ad text probably has never been updated)

Yes, but the unit will only control 11watts worth of LED strips. Also you have to figure that load on your supply. Doing the math you can drive around 9A with this controller. But that is at almost 100% of it rating and that is not advised. I would only run it at 50-60% of it rating. So 5-6A Now you just need to find out how many Amps or watts each string draws.
