Will these work on 24V, as the 10Meter pack is rated for? Want to use a splitter and get 2x6meter running on one controller (using the 10meter pack)

I would say that as long as the controller supports the 24v input, then the strips will work. While I'm sure that others LED strips have tight tolerances, I've found that these can work with most anything you give them. These are essentially a row of LEDs that just have the power level ajusted per color. I just tested having two strips run off one controller (given, mine is a 12v 6a) and they work just fine. The white at full brightness is a bit 'dirty' because there isn't enough power, but otherwise it works. This thread goes into the power details a bit more: http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/19413

These boards can take up to 12 Volts DC. Be mindful of you're polarity.Hope this helpsGary

I see that another answer conflicts with mine. Perhaps I should add that I tried this before answering. It works fine. I think the secret is that the modules have an onboard voltage regulator. The input is always referenced to ground and really doesn't care what you connect it to.

It should, as long as they ARE in series and the input is within the 10A limit. I would google the wire diagram to check how you connect the controller. I would assume it goes from +ve on one battery and -ve on the other to maintain the series.

I have been able to operate my meter at 60v and below with no problems. I have 3 meters and they all work well.

Hello Dave, I am driving 4 of the 16.4' strips (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SXGS94/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with this transformer without any issues (no heat, runs cool). I have both of the leads coupled together, going to my wireless dimmer and it works perfect...really nice feature and cheap price (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X4O1NG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I hope this helps. --Dustin

I found that if you solder the strips together and not use the cheap connecters you don't get as bad of a voltage drop for 2 strips. You can also feed them from both ends. That will even the voltage out a bit more. I have a giant project going on and with the correct transformer, creative wiring, and big enough wire you can get away with not using these. You can always try and add it later....

The ones I have are .5 Amp. I'm pretty sure all of the newer 24v Polycoms use that rating.

Sorry Christina, I don't think they would work because the voltage is too stiff. I honestly don't know where you would get a 6volt compatible with it. That would take some serious internet research. Try EBay.

These are micro switches, primarily intended for signal switching, such as inputs to gates or switching transistors. They are fine for up to 24VDC at a few milliamps. If you intend to do any power switching (motors, coils, etc.), I recommend you look elsewhere. Just estimating, since they have no watt rating branded on them, I'd give them no more than 100 milliamps @ 24 volts. Ohms law calls that 2.4 watts. I'l be generous and give you 2.5 watts.

For a 24V system this would be acceptable. The problem with this controller is with in the loading of it. The out put to a load (lights, inverter, etc.) comes on after there is no light to the panel.

Truthfully, I don't know. There may be a threshold voltage for their operation. Put a rheostat in the circuit see if it works.

If the two are connected it sounds like you are running a 24V system if that's the case I wouldn't use this one. Other brands make 24V onboard charges.

Hello,If you are charging 24v the controller can support 3 of these panels.In 24v the controller can support up to 800 watts.Please let us know if you have any further questions.Regards,Austin WaltiRenogy Technical Support Rep.

I can't answer, I threw them away after reading from a few reviewers that the polarity is switched (neutral and common wires are backwards.) I suggest you seek out an alternate item just to be safe.

i used 12 gauge from the solar panels to the controller and from the controller to the batteries i used no 6 awg i already had here The no 6 is probably overkill i wouldnt go any less than 8 from the controller to the batteries what is your battery bank at least 24v i hope

Hello they work fine on any 12 volt adapter, with the correct amps output I think I am using a 1amp transformer
