Danny, The short answer is no. Just a quick note! You will love these lights. Bill

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.

You would need 10 of these strips to do that. The power supply that comes with the kit can only handle one strip. Unless you buy 10 of these, then you need to provide an outlet that can handle all ten connections. I recommend buying the strips by itself and getting a power supply and remote unit to change colors separately. You will need to buy a power supply that can supply 50 amps while maintaining a minimum of 12 volts. This means you need a supply that can handle 600 watts. Search amazon using those three values, 12V 50amps or 600 Watts and you should find a power supply that can handle three of those strips. You can always have multiple power supplies. 5 strips on 12V, 300Watts supply each. You would need 10 of these strips to do that. The power supply that comes with the kit can only handle one strip.

It do not have a power supply, it works at any voltage between 12V and 24V, but you do not need to buy an extra power supply, it works with the power supply (or driver) of the LED's to be controlled. This controller may be connected between the power supply and the LED lamps.

It should operate with any 12v power supply and LED strip. As long as you don't exceed the 12A rating you should be fine. An FYI though, this product is extremely unreliable. I purchased 2 and they both didn't work.

Mine came with all the components listed above. Except that instead of a 3A, 12V power supply listed in the details it came with a 1A, 12V power supply. At full white the strip will draw more 3 times more current than the power supply can handle. I will work with Amazon since this can create a dangerous electrical situation.

I bought this one which is compatible and can drive 2 strips .Kastar LCD AC Adapter 12V 6A with 3-Prong Power Cord Power Supply for LCD Monitor and LCD TV

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood

Each strip will require approx. 5 amps of power when operating in white light at maximum brightness. With that being said, each strip will need a seperate ccontroller which is included. As a consolation, you can use the same remote but unless they are a distance from one another it will be hard to control with precision.

You have to add amount of watt of each strip and not exceed 80 watt. If your strip is 10 watt, you can use 100 watt power supply for 8 or even 9 strips.

The controller is rated for 4Ax3, four amps for each color. This totals 12 amps, or 144 watts. It will thus handle two 6A (72 watt) strips; typically these are 300-LED RGB strips. You connect the strips in series, one to the next. Alternatively, it can handle four 3A strips (150 LEDs, or 144 watts), also in series.

The included power supply provides 5 amps at 12 volts, each strip uses about 2.6 amps at full brightness, so connecting 3 strips will work, but they will become dimmer at the ends when you make them fully bright. To connect 3 strips to 1 single power supply you must buy one that can provide at least 7.8 amps at 12 volts, or your led strips will not be as bright as they could be. This power supply will power 3 LED strips: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adapter-Prong-Output-3224-12V/dp/B0057KIHAI/ This adapter will let you connect the controller in the middle instead of at one single end: http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Splitter-LED-Changing-Strips/dp/B0077IPRAG/ Hope that helps! :)

This is used primarily in 2 ways: you have a controller without enough power to drive a full RGB strip, or you want longer strips and need an amplifier between 16ft lengths. If your controller can drive any 12V RGB lights then it can drive this, and you put all your amperage intensive LED strips onto this amp. And if you just need more length, you put one of these at the end of the strip you are running and drive it with the first one, then the output drives the next strip.

Good question. I don't have an answer since I only have one strip plugged in. My assumption is that the LED's will operate as one. There aren't any switches or buttons to seperate their function. Personally, I'd have a controller for every strip (even though it accepts 3 strips). The effects are incredible. I'm looking into a controller with many functions as my next purchase. Hope this helps your decision.

The strip light requires an LED driver with 110 V in and 12 V out, which is purchased separately. That's the best I can tell you.

Hello, 1&#65292; this item is without power supply, so you need to prepare a 2A 12V power supply. You can refer to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABCT8A0 2&#65292;this remote can only control led strips, and cannot control bulbs. Thank you!

With a higher wattage power supply you could connect all 5 strips to one power supply but you would still overload the control driver that changes the colors.. I have used these in many kitchens that I have wired.. One strip over the cabinets, one under the toe kick, and another for under the upper cabinets (for task lighting) I think I have went up to 32 feet on a transformer and they are still working correctly after 1 1/2 years.
