Can this be placed/connected in between 2 strips and would it still dim both strips from a single power source?

This is only rated for 2 Amps so it can't power 2 full length strips. You can buy connectors and make your own power pigtail with something like this: 10 Pack 2.1mm x 5.5mm Male CCTV Camera DC Power Adapter Available in male and female, but I would look for higher Amperage dimmer.

I haven't tried that, but it seems like it should work. At any rate, it can't hurt anything to try it. I may have to do the experiment and let you know.

No I'm afraid not. It needs to be run in a series from a one source plus. I hope this helps.

I believe you can connect two end to end, but you cannot connect 3 or more end to end. I explored this question myself, though I did not do this, and it seems like once you use more than 2 strips (of 5 meters each) it would drawn too much power for the thin wires and things would melt. If I did this myself, I would first test it and see how hot the strips seemed to be getting before I would trust installing it. I would also not recommend doing this without some validation, since I am by no means an expert and would not want to be responsible for any mishaps.

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.

I don't know, it would depend on the strip lights you are trying to power and how much current each one draws. As long as the total current drawn is less than the rated output of this device (5 Amps) you could use only one, otherwise you would need more than one. Using only one for three strips might also cause some hookup problems if you are not technically adapt.

Yes, best to use a DC/DC dimmer after the power supply. Such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IYXGEEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

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.

I used: Ledwholesellers inline pwm 12v 2amp dimmer for led strips with DC jack. it works fine for what I need but the connections were a tiny bit looser than I would have liked but otherwise a good product for the price

You will need an additional converter. The strip is capable of using both voltages but does not convert voltages

Yes i believe so. I have two sepetate strips running in series On one switch.

I think you will need to have a repeater of some sort. I remember reading somewhere that you can only have two strips connected to one power supply. I also don't know how your power supply holds up so I wouldn't suggest more than two, One of my power supply starts to burn up after a while and it is only connected to one strip so the quality of the power supply is questionable.

I'm not sure you would be able to dim these. If you could, it would probably need to be done from the DC side of the power supply. There may be power supplies out there that have an integrated dimming function.

Technically you can connect a few in series but then they will not be bright. So its recommended to use the powersupply that comes with the kit for each 5 meter strip. To get the strip to full brightness you need 72W. If you use more your 72W will be split between two 5M strip at half the brightness.

Only one strip, you could maybe get away with two. You'll need to purchase an RGB amplifiers for the additional strips

Yes; that is how I am using this in two different rooms. And that should be the only 3way setup. 2 dimmers would not work correctly.

I cannot give you a solid answer on that, but Im pretty sure if you bout two strips, one remote would work on both.

yes..but you it may require a higher wattage power supply because you will draw twice the current.each strip draws 72 watts minimum so 2 strips require a 150 watt power supply. if used outdoors the power supply must be waterproof or it will not last long.

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup.- Joel
