What power supply will I need for eight of these lights?

since they are only 1 watt each-you need a very small transformer. If you are planning to add additional lighting especially flood lights non-LED you will need to make sure your get one to be large enough to meet your current + future needs.

I switched from the lamps to the LED units and used the old transformer from the initial installation. Obvious much larger than necessary since these LED's are rated at 2 watts. A smaller transformer of 40 watts will work fine with plenty of reserve to add more fixtures.

These are only one watt. So you power supply will be minimal. I would by the smallest transformer. I don't know what that would be. Perhaps a 50? With LEDs you can go small and save money! Note when you go to set your timer be advised that the red indicator is to turn on the light. A bit counter intuitive.

About any of the led strip supplies will work for this / these. I use the ones that look like PC lap top supplies. Lighting EVER® Power Adaptor, Transformers, Power Supply For LED Strip, 12V, 3A Max, 36 Watt Max . These are about $10.00 each. You will need about 30watts (<3 Amps) per strip. I have found the supplied controller will drive at least 2 strips pretty well. It is recommended not to use more than 2 strips in series (one plugged into the next.

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.

You can wire as many as you'd like, just keep in mind you will have to provide sufficient amperage to power all the strips. So if each strip is 2A and 12V each and you wire 4 together then you will need a power source that provides 12V DC and 8A of power

These should run fine on a battery, but I cannot recall what the power connector is on the light. Ours are all installed on a studio ceiling grid along with their individual power supplies.

each 21 LED strip takes 1.5 watts and the typical power supply used (12 Volts at 1 amp) is 12 watts so the absolute maximum is 8 but I would not use more than 6 staying at 80% of the power supply rating. It typically looks like the supplier uses between 3 and 5.

If buying single bars, a power supply is not included. Wiring to connect to another light bar is included. You can only run four light bars per 12 watt power supply. You will need to buy the complete kit or a seperate power supply. About $18.00

No power supply needed for box to work but yes for lights to work. Just put the box somewhere in the line of the wires. Cut splice and plug in. Simple. no connectors needed for the box itself but you may need your choice of connectors to extend the wires of your existing lights.

I don't know. You'd have to do the math w/ the watts and amps this power supply supplies. My advice would be to find the needs of your light strip and then search based on those specs. That's how I found this wall wart for my wall clock.

well you need to sum the total load the power supply must drive and personally I recomend you to use any power supply at 70% of its maximum cappacity; That means you must sum the total load for your 8' led strips and divide by .7, the total you get is the recomended power load for the power supply you need, don't buy waterproof if you don't need it, a vented circuit works better than a sealed that is more expensive too

Yea, just use a single throw 10 amp DC switch (there some that Amazon sells) which will allow you the ability to add more lights if needed.

Yes...I have 8 cams set up on a central power supply, 12vdc /5amp. Works great.

Yes as for single cable for each (yes) Power supply for each eight! as for Ampere not so sure never checked that i never had a need to know sorry on this one.

13 light X 4 watts = 52 watts. 88 watt power pack. 88 - 52 = 36 watts to spare. Yes the power pack should handle your lights.

You would require 96-100 Watts of power, which would be around 8 amps for the adapter. We offer several power adapters on Amazon and HitLights.com that will meet your needs. Please note you will also need an amplifier to ensure there is no drop off in brightness in between the second and 3rd strip of lights.

You need around 60W at 12V, I would recommend: "Intocircuit 80W(72W / 60W Compatible) Waterproof Superior Quality Aluminum Alloy LED Power Supply Driver LED Transformer 120 to 12 Volt DC Output, 6ft Cable" , available on amazon

Its done, buy a new higher wattage one, add up the load of your LEDs and get an appropriate rated power supply
