I have 25.1W LED total current, should I take 26W or 48W?

It really does not make any difference the lights will only draw its rating as published and the larger wattage supply will not hamper any thing.

Definitely use the 26W unit. You may experience poor dimming operation at only half rated load on the 48W unit. I am using the 26W unit with only 10-12W load and it only dims to about 25% on a regular dimmer.

In theory only 13W, in reality you'll want more than that - probably safe with 50W (one I got was 200W).

I am using a 60w bulb; I can't imagine you'd have any problem with 75-100w.

Depends on use. Lights and Ceiling fans, 250w is fine. If you have a Electric ceiling heater That requires more watts, then the 600w I would use. Hope this helps.

Remember that this is 26W *fluorescent*, which is equivalent to 100W incandescent (a standard light bulb). It's pretty darn bright.

The instructions say to use 60W. I have the new 60W fluorescents and it seems a little weak. I'm thinking the instructions are for 60W incandescent and that you could go to 100W of the new fluorescents. I'm going to try it and see what happens.

Amps are current drawn on a circuit 1.25 amp is equal to (Amps x Volts= Watts) so 1.25A x 120volts = 150 Watts is the max capacity of switch so for example u can put 3 of 45 watt bulbs = 135watts - it is less than 150 bcuz I wouldn't recommend going up to the limit of 150w- it's worth a try - although electrical devices are labeled at the max capacity where it may fail so if it may fail at 1.25A (150Watt) go a little under not to burn it up - btw: 5amp x 120v = 600Watts they make the 600w and up switches for incandescent rt now and LED type seem to go up to 1.25A (150W)

The current rating is what matters as you can use these at 115V as well as 12V. My application was 360W at 83V so I was running around 4.3Amps. We had no failures in multiple days (probably 20 hours worth or operation). This socket was being heated by the bulb in my application much higher that what you are planning so probably it will take 50W at 12V with no problem.

The amount and (amperage) of the power supplies is determined by how many LEDS will be powered. I highly suggest calling the vendor. They are GREAT folks, and are more than accommodating. They make extension/jumper wires, to go between the segments. Also, if you have custom lengths (as I did) they will make one to your specifications.

Hi Williams castillo Is each of your LED strips is 24 watts for every 5m? Then just sum the total and as you can see the led driver is 100 watts from the power output so if you use 4 strips you will be ok (96 watts) and within the range of the driver

Look at the watt power that the psu can deliver. Then look at your Led strips and see what the consumption is per strip, multiply the number of strips x the consumption . Then work out how many strips you can have . Try not to run the psu at 100%. Hope this helps

Here is a link to the most extensive testing I've seen with these lights (although the link is discussing the 300 LED version, so you'll want to do your own calculations based on these numbers.) Basically the spec sheet states .24 watts per LED. Of course you'll have to take into account the voltage drop, and with 20M of them you'll definitely want to look into dual-feeding to keep consistent brightness/color value... but all of that is explained in the link below much better than I can do here. Hope that helps! http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/19413/why-doesnt-my-5050-led-strip-draw-as-much-power-as-i-expect

That depends upon how many LEDs you connect to it. The output indicates 30W so however many LEDs that will drive for you.

Depends on how low. I use 40W equivalent LED with no issues on 3 different Progress Lighting fixtures

Also, I prefer 35w because 55 gets WAY TOO HOT and will melt the inside of your light housing, I use them in a crotchrocket so there is no ventilation to draw out the heat from a 55w, ur best bet is to google pics of the lights so u can best see what u want

We put in a 100w equivalent led and the wattage was too much, the lights buzzed so we used 60w and it works great.

I am not sure wgich strip you are asking about. I bought the 300 led's and 600 led's. They are 24 watt and 46 watt. You need to use at least 2 amp for the 24 watt and 3.5 for the 46 watt. The formula to use if I remember it correctly is : Watts=volt X amp So, at 24 watt, you divide 24 watt by 12 volts and you get 2 amps Hope this helps
