can i use this to power 2 strands of 20 modules each. JACKYLED New DC 12V 2A 2.0A Switching Power Supply Adapter For 110V- 240V AC 50/60Hz
1701615
Yes you can. Each module pulls about 30mA, which makes the total current draw of 600mA which is less than 1Amp.

I'm running one set on a 1A adapter, but now that I think about it I'm not sure I believe the 60mA rating is for the entire strand. LEDs average 20-30mA apiece, so I think it's 60mA per 3-LED block. So the entire strand would be 1200mA/1.2A and I'm overloading the adapter I'm using. I'd look for a 3A like "E-Goal DC 12V 3A Switching Power Supply Adapter For 110V- 240V AC 50/60Hz"

Hi- not unless you cut off the ground prong. But I don't know if the unit would supply power to anything if it is not connected to ground- that's a question the manufacturer would need to answer. If it did, you could then plug in multiple appliances. You might search for one that's designed for 2 prongs- I think I saw a couple when I was looking for this one. Good luck-

While I'm not an EE, my guess would be yes. It has enough current capacity to handle more than one device. Your trouble may be in finding an adaptor for the power strip to plug into transformer. Looks like a standard two-prong (ungrounded) US outlet to me, but I didn't try to plug any two pronged devices into it. Your Japanese (or whatever) devices presumably have two-pronged connectors, and if they fit a US outlet the scheme should work. Both prongs on my Japanese turntable are the same width, so your two-pronged adaptor would, presumably, need to conform. These days, most all US two-pronged connectoors are differing widths, but this could be overcome with a little judicious filing. While I'm not an EE, my guess would be yes.

I see no reason that wouldn't work. One end of the lights have a coax connector that plugs into a standard 12V adapter. The other end has two wires for connecting to another string. The second string would require removing the connector and connecting the wires to the first string. Each string will take about 20W so you have plenty of power for up to 10 strings. I would recommend soldering the wires, but that is not absolutely necessary if you make a good connection. One question - does that transformer put out AC or DC? The lights require DC.

Yes, no problem; you'll need a plug adaptor, but the power supply will accept 110 to 240v.It's a great thing - well worth it!

depends on whatever the PSU that came with this is rated at. iirc they usually come in 2-4a. basically, for a 30led/meter strip, you can power roughly 10 meters with 4a~. this means that if the power supply this comes with is labeled 4a (which i suspect it is), you should be able to chain 2 strips together fine. if it's 2a, you might need to get a bigger power supply. as the previous answer indicated, you can power it with an old computer/laptop/game console PSU as long as it's 12v, but pay attention and read the amp rating on the supply. this also, depending on the plug head of your PSU, possibly requires you to splice the power cables together. also, in case you were also wondering, you DO need to either solder or somehow bond the two strips together so that the circuits connect. they do not come with connectors on both ends, so one end will go into the controller it comes with, and the other end is the bare strip that you need to trim and solder/bond yourself onto a new strip.

Unless your country has 120V, the input on this adapter is rated only for 120V input(no 220v or 240V)the output AC 12V 200ma (note this is AC, most of the power outputs give you a DC out)

I don't believe you can use the 50 amp supply but you should contact the support staff at support@lanzar.com. They can give you a better answer why.
958155
Hi Craig W. The answer is yes. While this will allow you to run more than one PSU, each one will still have to be plugged into an AC outlet.
1184558
Yes, two connectors will have 12V available and two will have 5V. Just make sure not to exceed the current rating of the power supply.
1351571
I'm sure you'll get some more informative responses than I'm able to give, but I would not recommend it. If you know someone who can check your wiring to see if it can support a 20 amp circuit, I'd pursue that.

I've had as many as 4 strips connected together with one power supply with no issues. The power supply has a limit of how much power it can supply based on the amount of amps each strip needs, do the math (using specs), and plan accordingly.
1844669
Yes thsi is possible as there are two outlets that supply 210v/220v from a 110v/120v input source. However, be careful to check the rated wattage of both appliances if the sum of the rated wattage of both appliances exceeds 2000 watts you should only run one at a time. I currently have about six appliances hooked to mine through a power strip but I never use more than one appliance at any given time.

Yes it is perfectly safe to use the adapter as you are using only 2.7 amps. I would groung the plug to be safe but everything would be ok.

Wiring 3 sets in parallel is good. However, they operate on 12V DC. The transformer referenced seems to be AC (as indicated by "30 kHz" on the secondary side).

You can always wire 2 devices to the same connection. They are rated for 10 amps. That is probably plenty.
