Any issues with using this power supply to string (4) SMD-5050 OR SMD-3528 RGB strips end-to-end?

None ... Use an in-line signal amplifier somewhere in the middle (power is required at that point) and Power either end with the other output lead.

Power isn't as big a problem as the voltage drop. By the end of the strip, you may only be getting 10v, for example. You should measure it.

You would need to check the max wattage for each strip and add those values together. The sum should be greater than 150 watts for it to not blow the LEDs. I would recommend for there to be at least about a 25% difference in wattage, so the strips should have a max of about 160 watts. This is to make sure the LEDs don't overheat too badly if left on for longer periods of time.

You need to purchase a TSSS Data Repeater RGB signal amplifier to connect more than one 16.4 ft strip to a power supply. Available on Amazon.

You can run quite a few off of one power supply. Led use almost no power to run. I have limited 4 16 ft strips to one. Box. I have used one y. And connected 2 strips to each side. If you buy the led strips fom 2 seperate vendors, the wires won't match up.

Dont use anything unless you know for a fact it will work with the power supply youre using.

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.

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 ;)

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.

I had to bump up my power supply to a 750, it was a 450w, but you should have no issues. fyi, it consumes 4 power connectors, so you may need adapters if you dont have 4 available.

I just tested it, and it does work. However, keep in mind it will be extremely dim. Not only that, but in my case it was constantly flickering (however, this could have been due to lack of amperage).To be safe and sure, I'd go for at least a 12v 3a power supply.For my setup (11 strings total outside), I this for power: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HARHN8Which I hooked up to TSSS Data Repeater RGB Signal Amplifier For SMD 3528 5050 LED Strip Light, DC 12V 12A, 2 years warrantyUsing a single controller, with split outputs, for the colors.

You can attach two 5M strips no problem on a 5A power supply. Can get away with three max but will have power drop.

It really depends on what you want to plug the strips into but two choices that I bought to use to get the four wires out to use the three colors of leds are "HitLights LED PCB RGB LED Strip Any Angel Turn Connector, 4 Conductor, For SMD5050 or SMD 3528 RGB Color Changing LED Strip, Strip to Strip, 4 pcs " and "HitLights LED PCB Connector Box For 5050 SMD RGB Color Changing LED strip, Strip to Strip, 10 pcs " or you can just solder wires direct to the pads on the cut lines of the strips. And yes the driver itself would need to be cabable of dimming the leds or if you are simply are going to feed them with 12Volts then you can but a simple dimmer switch in-line with the common feed and dim the leds that way with no driver at all. I personally bought a controller from Custom Dynamics to make my LED strips strobe, dim, and change colors.

Hi. For one led strip will need a 12v DC 2AMP power supply. If you need to add another one and use only one power supply for both strips, you will need a strip connector to connect both strips and a 12v DC 4AMP (at least) power supply.

No I have 4 of them on my 480 radiator and have no problem I use a molex to 4 way pwm splitter

Without knowing the specs of your strip lights, I can't answer your question. I can say this, though. If you use the rgb strip lights typically available on amazon, you can't string two 5 meter strips end to end. The current load through the first strip will cause the thin flexible copper conductors to overheat. Also, you'll experience significant voltage drop through the strips, and the far end will be noticeably dimmer than the supply end. If you need a continuous run of 4 5 meter strips, use a data repeater between each strip.. In that case, you would need 3 of these units. Hope that helps!

it is. on the safe side i went with a Antec TruePower Quattro 850W Power Supply. this graphics card requires TWO 8pin adapter for ultimate performance capacity.

I'm running two of these on an 850W PSU, so really anything above 350W should be fine, but you might be pushing it at 350W
