60 feet would use about 4 strips, you would need a 96-100 W power source and an amplifier between the second and third strip to prevent power drop off. As long as the control is plug in-line between the power source and the lights, it would control all the lights.

cant answer that one but i have put 2 x 16 ft strips together with no noticible drop in brightness so i'm at 32 foot but other than that maybe send manufacturer or seller a line. sorry im not much help

Hello my friend Yanninski, Yes, 1 remote can control 10pcs or more than 10pcs of these lights simultaneously on condition that the lights are within 3 meters to the remote. I noticed that you also want to know the power supply info. As for the power supply, if you install this light under water, then a waterproof transformer is need. If not soaked into water, then an ordinary 12v low voltage transformer or your standard 12V garden supply is OK. Any further question, you're more than welcome to contact Lemonbest freely at any time. We are always here for help. Nice day. Lemonbest

The issue is voltage drop and current carrying capacity of the strip, not the power supply (although the power supply obviously needs to be big enough too). You could probably get away with a 20ft run as long as had sufficient current form the supply. I also would plan to only use a supply at 80% of its rated capacity. Most of the low cost ones you see here and other places are not really built to handle 100% duty cycle at their rated output. They'll kill themselves with heat buildup and other issues.

You would need 10 of these strips to do that. The power supply that comes with the kit can only handle one strip. Unless you buy 10 of these, then you need to provide an outlet that can handle all ten connections. I recommend buying the strips by itself and getting a power supply and remote unit to change colors separately. You will need to buy a power supply that can supply 50 amps while maintaining a minimum of 12 volts. This means you need a supply that can handle 600 watts. Search amazon using those three values, 12V 50amps or 600 Watts and you should find a power supply that can handle three of those strips. You can always have multiple power supplies. 5 strips on 12V, 300Watts supply each.

There are 300 RGB LED's. Each LED can change color. This set is waterproof because there is a plastic coating over the LEDs. Someone wrote that you can cut the strips, but I don't recommend it because of the plastic coating on the LEDS. Maybe they had the non-waterproof kind.

As far as I know there are two ways to control these light strips- using a 2.5mm center-positive 12v connection, or utilizing the 6803 controller (a much better option in my opinion.) Search for 6803 controller on here or eBay and you'll see them. These strips utilize 4 wires (V+, Gnd, Data, Clock) but also have a barrell jack connector in case you don't get the controller or prefer not to use these to their full capabilities.

That 200 ft shielded cable has 2 ends. 1 is for the camera(BNC). And a red end that is the power supply. The red ends are power. I have a 4 way power supply at my DVR to power up 4 cameras at a time. I also have a 16 camera DVR. So I have 4 - 4 way adapters plugged in to where I have my DVR. It saves on outlets. Otherwise I would need 16 outlets. As I get more into these camera. I end up buying more stuff. So I have it exactly as I want it. And in my opinion. It has paid off. They can be purchased threw amazon. I also have a 300 ft shielded cable.

This would really depend on the type of tank you are planning. For a Fish Only style tank, two of the Pro LED Strips would give decent light coverage. For "low" light requiring corals you would want at least 4 strips. One power supply (sold separately) can run two of the 36"L strips with a splitter cable (sold separately).

In order to supply optimum power without voltage drop and maintain constant luminous for any led strips it cannot be longer then 14-16ft. so you would need one repeater for each 16ft stripe. That's why most supply only sell 16ft long stripe.

There are 300 led lights, each of the led lights has R G and B capabilities. The remote adjust their intensity to create the color you want. So in short 300 lights on the roll. .. And as with all led strips you can cut the strip every 3 lights to shorten to what length you want. Additional steps needed to make waterproof with this set. FYI

PLEASE NEVER EVER USE POWER STRIPS and try to control more lights, ONE only..It is a costly mistake as you can blow the timer, the bulbs, and have plant loss...A costly NO NO...Timers are very inexpensive, PLEASE take it from someone who learned the hard way..

This is a 30 Watt supply. It is fine for one 16 foot 3528 LED strip (typically consumes about 16W) I have also found that it is OK for one 16 foot 5500 LED strip (typically consumes about 22 Watt). This supply will not run even one 16 foot, high-power LED strip. (I have found that 5630 LED strip (16 foot) can consume as much as 42 Watts - The 5630 LED strip definitely overloads this supply)

Strip says its 15 watts/ meter and it is 5 meters( about15 feet) so at 12 volts that's 6.25 amps minimum per strip. 8 to 9 amps would be a better value to use to size your power supply. 3 strips with a 20 amp power supply would've pushing it.

If you're looking to simply CONTROL multiple strips with one remote without the strips being powered by the same AC outlet, heck it can be done. I have three strips in their own window in one room, and I turn them all on/off with one remote. Each strip is plugged into its own AC outlet, and as long as the eye of the control box is in range or isnt blocked, one remote can control them all at the same time. Was that the question? =o)

Each strip requires 12VDC at 6amps. Do not daisy chain all 4 strips together. The strips can't handle 24 amps through the traces of 4 strips. You need to connect each strip separately to the power supply. You can use 4 separate 6amp power supplies or use one 30amp power supply. The data connectors need to be daisy chained together. You input the data to the first strip and it passes to the rest of the strips. The RGB LED's are in groups of 3 so 10 pixels per meter or 50 pixels per strip. 4 strips equals 200 pixels total. I hope this helps.

There are three main categories, single color, RGB and WRGB light strips. The RGB have red, green, blue LEDs and combine all the colors to make white(ish) light and use 4 wire conductors, connectors and components. The WRGB have red, green, blue LEDs plus white LEDs for pure white light and use 5 wire conductors, connectors and components. The 4 wire components are usually 12 vdc and the 5 wire components are either 12 or 24 vdc. You also have to decide if you want weather proof or not. FYI, the power supplies that come with the kits are NOT weatherproof even if the light strips are.

should be fine with one strip assuming you are referring to a single color strip, not an RGB strip. I'd question it's ability to handle more than one length as that could be too much current. I wouldn't count on these to handle the full amperage they say they will ;)
