How many of these amps can you plug into one outlet (with a power strip)?

Two would be normal but it depends on the AMPS of your circuit breakers. Check to be sure how much of a load it can take before adding on extra equipment.

You should never use a power strip to plug in high power amplifiers, get a SHORT heavy duty extension cord with a power distribution block at the end. The wiring in power strips are not designed for high load. On a 20 amp breaker you should be able to run 4 of these at at time, as long as there is very little else using that circuit.

I go not know how many but i have two this one and work perfecto and have alot of power y did plug this with crossover , i have one Chanel for lows and meds and other for higs i love this and best price, thanks Amazon

3, but be careful that your outlet is a standard one, not one with a circuit breaker between the sockets. It won't fit into one of those.

Calculating amps would be difficult, that said, my entire strip pulled under 2A if I recall correctly and a shorter section that I cut pulled proportionally more current since the resistance of the copper wiring was less over all. I would recommend supplying the entire strip with a 3A power supply and each smaller section (say around 1 meter) with a 1A wall wart power supply just to give a healthy margin of error and maximum possible brightness.

I don't know, it would depend on the strip lights you are trying to power and how much current each one draws. As long as the total current drawn is less than the rated output of this device (5 Amps) you could use only one, otherwise you would need more than one. Using only one for three strips might also cause some hookup problems if you are not technically adapt.

You can put up to 2 (maybe3) together depending on the power supply you are using. After that you must use a small amplifier for each of 2 more strips.

You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring. I could be wrong tho :) However, the adapter is plenty powerful enough to run both your strips. I believe its made to power a little over a 16' strip of LEDs. I used one on a bookcase and it was fine. The only thing I had to do though, was cut the LED strip when I got to the corners and use a special connector you can buy on Amazon too, but I didnt have to worry about going an opposite direction like you are. I would say you'll maybe have to solder the wires or the strip together close to the outlet.

Yes. But more strips means your power supply needs to provide more electric current (amps). Make sure your power supply is rated for the number of strips you want to connect together. MAX Amps per Strip X Number of Strips=MIN Required Power Supply Amps.

the power supply shown here would only run ONE LED strip. Each strip (Amazon item Triangle Bulbs T93007) uses 25 watts at 12 volts DC which is 2.1 amps So 6 strips would use 150 watts or 12.5 amps. You would want to up those ratings by at least 20%. However I suspect the internal wiring structure of these LED strips is too light to carry more than two strips connected together. Two strips would be 50 watts or 4.2 amps at 12 volts dc.

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

I would say no. I could not find current draw info ,but I had 2 strings attached to the 30 watt supply and went thru 2 of these power supply's. They kept failing. I just switched to a 100 watt supply. Without seeing current draw on these 16 foot strips, it is hard to say for sure how many watts will be required. I would start with the 100 watt supply. Or if you can find the current draw of a single 16 foot strip, just multiply that by the qty of strips and that times 12 volts. That will give you the total wattage power supply needed. Example. If each strip draws 2 amps, and you use 5 strips, then 10 times 12 equals 120 watts. You will need to find the current draw to be sure. I would say no.

Michel any strip needs the power supply. It means that if you want to install one strip in a different position from the second, you will need another power source. Each power source can provide the energy for around 12 to 14 strips in accordance to the instruction manual.

The vendor says the power is distributed based on draw, so yes, one port could have 4 amps leaving the rest with nothing (so don't plug anything else in).

If you are tieng in 4 of these strips(24watts) to a power supply you will need a power supply of at least 96 watts. Dont worry about using a larger transformer and transformers are usually rated for full output...a 100 watt wold be fine. Use a constant voltage transforme not a constant current one! It is DC current.

Well the recommended wattage for using an outlet is up to 250 watts, and 150 for the second outlet. So it depends on how much electricty it takes.

YES YES and YES! I've bought so many of these I can't count. I like to keep extras in the junk/hardware drawer. We live in a 1946 house and all the outlets are for only two prongs. I use these on all of our three prongers including power strips and surge protector strips for the computers, printers, everything :D

no room in the unit for AC power. It is fed DC power Via a mini usb cable that connects to the one of the other kits that had a 48 watt power supply. You can also buy the mini usb cable to connect more than one strip together

I am not sure if there are power limitations, but you technically could plug them all into here. I use every outlet, but all of the equipment is not on at the same time.
