What is the power input needed to operate this light strip? Can it be powered by a regular 9v battery?

Mr. Johnson is correct. However why would you want to? I run these, and the 24 LED head light off the balance tap with hardly any reduced flight time.A 9v battery,(+velcro), will add 47grams / 1.7oz. of weight and that WOULD reduce flight time! Weight is a real buzz kill for a stock Phantom v1

Yes it can, but at a reduced light intensity. Optimal brightness is at 11.7 vdc and they are very bright.

The power source is battery.I think it is 9volts not sure but it is battery operated.

Yes it is actually very forgiving as far as power is concerned... a 12 volt battery should work just fine... the unit is very simple to wire... I use it with a small strobe light

This is an LED strip which fits into a slot in the Coralife Biocube 29 hood which must be plugged in for it to work. There is no battery based power system.

You will need to purchase the recommended transformer that will plug into the electrical receptacle and connect to the light strip. The transformer has additional extension length.

It definitely is powered by a battery but I do not recall if it came with one. I seem to think it requires a 9v. Sorry that I could not be sure.

No, this needs wall power. I think most battery-operated continuous lights are LED based (for lower power draw at a lower voltage).

Yes, you will need a 12v input into I to drive the light strip. DMX doesn't carry voltage to power anything.

Why would you convert 12v to 9v? The lights are produced to operate on 12v. If you are asking if they will operate on a little 9v battery as from a smoke alarm, poorly.... blink a few times and lights out, can test a minute to see if they work ok? If using a brick battery with a few amps or so, they will work ok....or at least the strips have for me, but poorly compared to giving the full 12v+ they are made for. Best I can offer from the question is give the strips the 12v+, and at least 2a per strip needed to work as expected.

12 V DC. Buy the power supply on Amazon. These lights are amazing for the price.

12v battery. you know like the one in your car or RV. It's hard wired to the two wires coming out the back of the light it's self. and than you turn it off oan on with the black rocker switch on the front side of the light unit.

This strip is powered by a 12 volts DC converter, so as long as your power supply has an output of 12vdc then I would not hesitate hooking them up. This is a very versatile set of lights. Have fun with them.

No, it is 9V, I am sure about that.The polarity is what I doubt, but is easy to check. If you pug it and the light does not turn on, it is the other choice.You cannot damage it by connecting it inverse.

I found this annoying also. Sell a light that comes without a battery or power supply? Anyway, here is Yonghuo YN-600 link to their power supply: YONGNUO American Standard Adapter Power Switching Charger DC for Yongnuo LED Video Light YN-600 YN600

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.

Here are the specs on the label of the adapter that is used to charge the light: Class 2 Power Supply, Model HT72005, Input 120 VAC 60Hz 9W, Output 12VDC 500mA. I wish I knew what all of that means, but I don't, and I hope it helps! If it were me, I'd take all of that alphabet soup down to Radio Shack and let somebody there find a replacement part. I found a few adapters online that come close, and they all cost $7 or less, but you wouldn't want "close" to risk burning out the spotlight.

Mine did not come with anything to power it. I was working on some speakers in the vehicle I was installing them in though, so I just used some extra 14-16 gauge speaker wire and spliced the positive into my radio power wire while grounding the negative. The lights don't require many amps, so a thick wire is not necessary. If you intend to run it off of AC power supply, you will need a transformer to change the alternating current(AC) to direct current(DC). Kind of like the charging cords do for rechargeable devices.
