Can I cut in certain lengths? How to calculate the correct amp for each different length?

My husband installed ours and I know that he did cut them to the length he needed. However, I am not sure about the amps - I think they all pull from the same amps regardess of the size of strip.

Calculating amps would be difficult, that said, my entire strip pulled under 2A if I recall correctly and a shorter section that I cut pulled proportionally more current since the resistance of the copper wiring was less over all. I would recommend supplying the entire strip with a 3A power supply and each smaller section (say around 1 meter) with a 1A wall wart power supply just to give a healthy margin of error and maximum possible brightness.

You can cut it about every 1.5" This has 3 LED's on it and a different set of resistors. I believe you would use the same wattage on a 1.5" piece as you would on a 16' piece.

No clue man.... seems I recall reading somewhere that you could couple up to 16 strings... must equate to a pretty low amp draw... google it...!

Yes, no problem, you can cut to length. But then of course the cut edge will not be finished like the other three edges.

I can't remember how big the openings are because I don't have the amp anymore, however, if you already have 8 ran, might as well just use it. Trim the wire to size if you need to. Bigger is better than smaller

I have set and locked the stops to a particular length for multiple cuts when a small amount of variable (around 1/8") is tolerable. Just be aware that too much pressure against the stops will cause them to need to be replaced with heavy use this way (as in using this method for multiple decks).

You can cut it to any width you want. If you're going too much smaller, you might look at buying individual pieces to save some cost. I was very happy with how adaptable the system was.

Could be .. cable size and length directly affect the amount of current that can be delivered- also the length and size of the saw's cable/cord as well as the number of amps it draws. Try shorter/heavier cables and a lesser drawing equipment.

Just tune your amp appropriately and it'll be fine. Use a multimeter to tune.

lol you actually can if you're planning on giving yourself a buzz cut. the longest length it will cut is 3 millimeters

each strip should pull about 3 amps, when i receive these i will measure it out

Length may be short, but easy to lengthen...either cut and splice or buy the spade connectors to make an extension cable. yes you can cut out the switch, its garbage anyway, and add your own. That's what I did on all of mine.

Rich, Every amp is going to be different. You really will need to get out the manual and look at how the loop is wired.

With some creative splicing you could get by with 8. If you are going to use a splitter it will take alot more.

Yes, you would need an appropriate length-sized and amp-rated cord. I bought a 100' extension cord to meet the size needs of the area that is going to be cut. This is the one I bought for the mower: http://www.amazon.com/US-Wire-65100-100-Foot-Extension/dp/B002HWRS72/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1378086430&sr=8-32&keywords=12%2F3+15+amp+extension+cord Hope this helps.

I dont see why not as long as the the amp has inputs for four gauge if not you could buy adapter to fit you dont really want to cut the wire down this wire is great tho very flexible i use it still

Any splitter would work, it's just a normal Jack on both sides. In terms of audio it isn't an amp plug, just a standard audio port. This product works just the way you would expect.

I just sent you an answer -- the cable size this amp useds is 1/4" -- I should have looked this up. Sorry. Dan T.
