How many of these strips can be wired together in sequence? I need like 4 strips to cover a room.

They don't have plugs on the end but I beleive they are able to be cut and soldiered to ever 3 LEDs and would be able to wire them together

As many as you want given your power supply can supply the power. I have wired over 10 together with no problem in referents and such

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

I would imagine as many as you need ..... I cut mine into 5 different strips and they all work fine my car guy said I could add more if I wanted so I am guessing 4 strips will be fine
1689323
I only did 2 but did hook up 3 there a drop in output for each one you connect together plus also noticed the leds towards power source get warmer the more you hook on im sure you can hook 4 to one power supply but personally would do 2 and 2 each their own power supply

You can solder them in series no problem. You can also shorten this to almost any length by cutting the line at the solder points. These LEDs are extremely bright, so make sure the lights are indirect when covering a room with them. A foot of this made my neon yellow sneakers illuminate as bright as a light.

It's not reccomended to connect longer than 5 meters back to back. The reason is simple, the strip is carrying all of the current and obviously has a limit. That's the official answer, but in reality you might be able to get away 10 meters (2 rolls of this) That means if you source the power supply in one corner you could feed 2 long strips in opposite directions. The point is, the LED at th far end of the strips are going to see voltage drop and be dimmer. Further 4 strips is a LOT of 12 volt current. You are better off running shorter lengths with individual supplies for each 5 meter run.

This controller will not treat strips individually. They'll all be the same pattern/color.

Hard to answer but I suspect 4 would be adequate. Keeping in mind it sounds like you have fluorescent tube lights and these are not tubes nor fluorescent. Four of these lights will be more than enough to light a 20' x 20' room though.

The lights I purchased have a two wire pig tail on one end to attach to the required power supply. The other end was simply cut square. I did purchase end connectors that had two wires attached (+Red and -Black) that the square cut end of the light strip would plug into. Conceivable you could daisy chain several strips together using that arrangement as long as your power supply is rated for the current. I'm sure some supplier has a type of connector that accepts the raw ends of two strips for an electrical connection. It should be noted that the lights in strip form are not protected from the elements or contact with metallic surfaces. Mine are placed behind a wood molding under the cabinets. I modified the molding to place the strip at a 45 degree angle and just hot glued them in place. Easier than any other lighting I looked at. The power supply is very compact and efficient. I think they are excellent. There is an even flooding of light over the countertop and they always run cool. Good Luck with your project.

No, though you may want more than 1. I have a 55" TV and have a single strip running across the middle of it. While that "works," it's not as bright as I would like it to be and I would probably put a 2nd strip on it, locating one across the bottom and the other across the top. You definitely should not need 4 of them.

The remote is 4-zone, and can independently operate 4 sets of strip lights. But you need 4 controllers. When you want to control 4 sets of strips, you need one remote (ASIN: B00HEP269C) and some RGBW controllers (or RGB controllers) If the strips are RGBW, you need RGBW controller (ASIN: B00HEOW0T4). If the strips are RGB, you need RGB controller (ASIN: B00HP0AYYU).

It is better that one controller is for 1 strip or 2 strips. If you need control 4 strips at the same time, you can use 4pcs 4-zone controller (ASIN: B00MGTVOSA) and 1pcs remote (ASIN: B00HEP269C)

If you are planning to run lights along all 4 walls, you will probably need 4 kits. In my kit, the power supply and control box were only rated for a 16' combined length of lights. The good news is that 1 remote can control all 4 control boxes at once if the sensors are placed near each other.

No. You cannot hook up multiple sets. Although if you purchase the one with 20 pieces, it should be more than good. You pretty much daisy chain the lights. It specificially says no more than 20 strips per box.

On mine, there were two solid colored wires (blue & brown?), and one (yellow) with a stripe. When I opened the back of the light, I found that the striped wire just ended and was not connected to anything. My guess is that they found 3-lead wire cheaper than 2 or 4-lead so that's what we get. The other two solid wires seem to work interchangeably as + or -, so they apparently added circuitry to make them idiot-proof.Short Answer:Striped wire: Not usedOther two: Connect to 12V DC

I cannot answer definitely, but I also wanted this and could not find any way to do it. Although you can add up to six strips per adapter, I could find no one that sold only the strips. I had to order 3 sets and do some maneuvering to get mine in order. Hope you can do the same.

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

Directions say must be to power supply but I don't see why couldn't be cut and spliced between two sets of light strips.

Keep in mind each strip draws 3 amps at 12 volts, or 36 watts on full white. You must have enough wattage from your power supply to drive two strips.
1682563
Yes you should be able to. The strips interconnect with one another, so one transformer can run multiple strips. I've had several connected linked together--all being powered by only one power pack. I'm certain 8 would be no problem as even elaborate Christmas LED light strings can connect upwards of 13 or more. Hopefully that helps.

One should not directly connect these strips in series end-to-end such that the combined length exceeds 16.4ft (1 roll). Please email or all us (510.264.1688) so that we may provide you with a list of components.

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.
