how many feet of LED Strips can this withstand?

Sorry for the delay Daniel. It depends on the type of LED strip. Most reels or strips are 16' If the strip has 300 LEDs its usually a 30 watt strip. If they are high intensity or double LEDs then they are 60 watts which is the maximum of this transformer. so If its 30 watts then 32', if high intensity then 16'. It's all about the watts!

It depends on the type of LED strip you're using. Some strips use more power than others because they use more powerful LEDs, or more LEDs per foot.

thickness maybe 1/8" hold in warm area, yes but not forevermay be I can put strip led in the fish house with itauto windshield glue will hold forever

First, you will need to look at the wattage of each of the strips (the 24 inch are 8 watts). That's a fairly long distance and you will want a power supply at least 1 1/2 times the total wattage you'll need. I have 6 24-in strips in a row and find the ones on the end are not as bright as the ones closest to the power supply. You may want to consider putting the power supply in the middle of the string if possible and use a "Y" connector to split the power both directions to shorten the total distance.

I didn't keep the packaging, but my memory makes me believe it was ten strips. I just checked the extension kit that was related, and it agrees that it is 10 strips or 20 feet max.

I run two 16-1/2 foot (5 meter), 24 watt, strips with no problem. I'm no expert, but the 5 meter strips seem to be rated from 24 to 72 watts. Guess that you would have to check the watt rating and do the arithmetic.

I ran 3 LED strips using 2 extension cables (PSU --&gt; Controller --&gt; Splitter --&gt; LED Strip --&gt; Extension cable --&gt; LED Strip --&gt; Extension Cable --&gt; LED Strip and it worked fine. Need to ensure you have the correct PSU Wattage for however long your strips are. NOTE: I have read online your maximum strip lengths should be @16.5 feet. However, using splitters allows you to maximize LED strips on one PSU. Just be mindful of the total wattage and do the math right.

Hello David F Crapps,Yes, this LED strip comes in 16.4ft / 16' long when they are delivered.For any question, pls email Lemonbest freely at any time. We are always here for help.Best RegardsLemonbest

I don't recall actually measuring the strip, as I got these back in 2012. My project required 14. 3 feet (give or take), and I had extra left over. Also, just as an FYI a friend of mine used these to highlight a bar/lounge, and was able to plug three strips in series to one 12v AC/DC adapter. Good luck with your project.

If that light was left on for 5 hours per day , every day , it would last 27 years. I think it would be ok to buy a new one then. Now if you only used it 5 days per week it would last even longer of course. That is the benefit if LEDs - they should outlast the fixtures practical use. With that said, Looking at the light I'm not sure how you would change the light strip.

Absolutely! I peeled mine back for soldering almost all of my connections. Do be forewarned, the 3M sticky adhesive that comes will all strips like this is rather useless in most applications. Yes, it will stick to a surface if gravity is holding it to that surface; otherwise you will need something else. I used this stuff in my car so the extreme temperatures caused the 3M strip to not only come apart from it's mounting surface, but from the LEDs themselves. I bought some double sided tape from the hardware store and cut it to appropriate lengths and widths and haven't had problems since. Also, it really doesn't matter what kind of tape you use, if the surface is contoured it won't adhere for more than a day. If the lights are hidden, you can use clips to hold it in place. Your only option might be glue. I've used a lot of this stuff and love helping others do the same. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Ask here, or email me directly (amazon username @gmail.com)

20 feet is no problem for one light strip. Typically, a single reel of lights only draws about 3 amps at 12 volts. If you are powering multiple strips, you will need to use a wire sized to carry the maximum amperage you plan to draw. Since this power supply can provide about 30 amps, you should use 12 gauge wire if you plan to maximally load the power supply.

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 ;)

It depends on the length/number of LEDs in the strip, and transformer size. None of the Amazon sets matched my needs. I called the company and they designed what I needed, told me how many transformers to use, and gave me a better price.

Hi Williams castillo Is each of your LED strips is 24 watts for every 5m? Then just sum the total and as you can see the led driver is 100 watts from the power output so if you use 4 strips you will be ok (96 watts) and within the range of the driver

No, not by just connecting one strip to another. Anything beyond 2 5meter strips will be to far from the power source. That amount of length would probably require a data repeater for every 10meters of light strips.

each 21 LED strip takes 1.5 watts and the typical power supply used (12 Volts at 1 amp) is 12 watts so the absolute maximum is 8 but I would not use more than 6 staying at 80% of the power supply rating. It typically looks like the supplier uses between 3 and 5.

the power supply shown here would only run ONE LED strip. Each strip (Amazon item Triangle Bulbs T93007) uses 25 watts at 12 volts DC which is 2.1 amps So 6 strips would use 150 watts or 12.5 amps. You would want to up those ratings by at least 20%. However I suspect the internal wiring structure of these LED strips is too light to carry more than two strips connected together. Two strips would be 50 watts or 4.2 amps at 12 volts dc.
