Is it 12v Per Module (one 3LED plastic piece) or 12v for the entire 20 piece thing?? i.e. can I connect each of the pieces separately to 12v source??

Yes each 3 led is a 12vdc light. They come wired in paralle lpositive to positive to positive ,, negative negative. +to+.-to-

You can run them all on 12V it would just pull more current. Or you can clip them apart where each branch will run on 12V DC. It is very flexible toutilize and the entire array pulls less than 1A with all lamps on.

Yes there 12 volts I connected 8 of them together with one adapter u connect as many u want they don't use a lot of energy

12v for the whole strand or each individual module. The wattage is where it determines the driver. I believe each module is 1.2 watt

Due to the nature of electricity the only difference between having one or 10 is the amperage that the line takes. So to answer the question you can have just one on the line connected to the adapter or you can connect each light separately if you would like to (not really recommended due to the need of wire) just make sure the amperage of the adapter can handle whatever load you put on it. However, the 20 pieces should work on just about any 12v adapter.

Yes 12V WILL damage it, as it is rated for 5.2 volts DC. But avoid this unit, and seek another manufacturer....as you should note that along with my review, others have experienced the same failure in that it works for about 2-3 months and then goes into a total fail and you end up with a color bar generator....and NO picture. Avoid this garbage.

Hi I'm joe yes u can is 12 v unit but make sure u comet the positive and negative in right way good luck and happy new year

It is 12Volt AC 3 phase, hence the 3 wires. 12V will be measured between any 2 wires

so what's the voltage of this "low-voltage" device? 12VDC, 12VAC, 24VAC, 24VDC, 48VACDC? 78volts?

12v *20 amps = 240 watts. If you want to know if it can supply this stably, I don't know. It didn't come with documentation and I only use a little under 12 amps. I did measure the voltage and that was stable and actually 12 volts. So far, I haven't had any problems.

It's 20 gauge. If you decide to solder a long run yourself, don't go any thinner. These power supplies are rated at 2 amps and the camera has a pretty good draw. The voltage drop will be too much.

It works with my q see equipment and power supply. 12v 3 amps is on the original power supply.

And the sticker reads: 2.0A for BOTH the 5V and 12V output ratirings. Really a neat product. I will be fixing a friends laptop, just pulling it out of the case, setting this up and using their HDD as an external and it has always worked. This is my third order of the same product from the same source, always the same professional response. Hope this helps you. Will

So I'm not gonna sugar coat....the breaker opened at 4800w surge on test. Meaning 20a @ 240v. Might be the cheap Chinese breaker on the unit, might be a realistic shock load for it to bear.

Zero. I think these branch connectors are too crappy to use piling up like legos like that. The connection between the panels and battery needs to be very low resistance, which means robust connectors and fat wire with a short wire path. Stacking these is going to add resistance, wasting the money you spent on panels, and adding problems - when I first tried using these, one of them didn't connect well and I got zero from one panel, requiring a complex diagnostic procedure of checking each connection to find the bad one. If you need flexible wire and portability, instead of using these toys, I suggest buying fat wire and heavy lug connectors at home depot or lowes to make 4-way pigtails. I used doubled-up heavy landscaping wire for three 50w panels. For four bigger panels, I'd use four strands per channel. I take mine on the road. I only use the single MC4 connectors at the end of 3-branch lug pigtails to connect to the 3 panels themselves, as they are the only thing that ever needs to be quick-disconnected. With a permanent installation, I'd probably use heavy hard wire, wire nuts and junction boxes, just like it was 220v AC, and cut out the MC4's altogether. MC4's are just the same crummy stamped and bent metal bullet connectors that usually have thin pastel casings with fancy water resistant casings instead.

No problem at all. Just connect 2 or more 12v batteries in parallel. I use 4 x 12v batteries.

I believe they are rated at 75 watts x 3 units equals 225 watts divided by 12 volts equals 18.75 amps. Therefore a 20A [power supply will work.

this particular one is a 10-30vdc. So 12Vdc does work. or 20Vdc input. 24vdc, does not matter. Just means that the circuit card inside will take anything from 10vdc, up to 30vdc. They do make a 110VAC version, this is NOT it.

I use a 12 v. DC power transformer. This works fine but you will need to solder the connections.

I just used a 12v adapter I had lying around. I cut the end off and used a multimeter to make sure the polarity was correct and hooked it to the board. Please, do be careful about the where you put the positive and negative. I remember reading on the net that this device won't protect itself from reverse polarity on the dc voltage. Meaning, the circuit board will be ruined.

There are multiple posts but one each for COM, 12V ,13V, 14V, and 15v. I simply used a pigtail with heavier gauge wire to power three small loops.
