can 2 strips be connected to one transformer

The answer is yes. You need to purchase a connector to continue the chain or another type to "V" off the strip. Each company sells accessories to do these additions.

I have two strips connected together currently and they are working fine. I dont run them for very long periods though. Maybe and hour at most and have not had any issues. According to all info out there you are supposed to run a "repeater" to connect more than one strip. Also, you will need a "strip to strip" connector to join strips together. You can find alot of different types on this site.

You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring. I could be wrong tho :) However, the adapter is plenty powerful enough to run both your strips. I believe its made to power a little over a 16' strip of LEDs. I used one on a bookcase and it was fine. The only thing I had to do though, was cut the LED strip when I got to the corners and use a special connector you can buy on Amazon too, but I didnt have to worry about going an opposite direction like you are. I would say you'll maybe have to solder the wires or the strip together close to the outlet.

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 Barb. It worked for me to connect 2 strips to the same power source and control them with the same controller. I haven't tried with 3 strips yet.

so far, I have linked 2 light strips together with no problem. just make sure that your power adaptor uses the most amps possible without damaging your strips. I believe the most you can use is a 12V 5amp adaptor.

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.

They are connected together. Mine were 12" apart from each other on the string. You can connect 2 strings to 1 transformer.Hope that helps.

Yes you should be able to. The strips interconnect with one another, so one transformer can run multiple strips. I've had several connected linked together--all being powered by only one power pack. I'm certain 8 would be no problem as even elaborate Christmas LED light strings can connect upwards of 13 or more. Hopefully that helps.

Keep in mind each strip draws 3 amps at 12 volts, or 36 watts on full white. You must have enough wattage from your power supply to drive two strips.

That depends on how much current draw each of your "panels" is. If the total current draw is greater than the safe output of this device than you need to get another transformer. If each of your "panels" is 12V and the current for each added together is less than 2.5A, than you would just wire the three "panels" in parallel.

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divideby your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire)This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

Yes , you have to have enough amperage goin to it though . Connecting the two strips is easy enough as they sell connectors for exactly that . Be warned the remote control units that are being sold are a little vague . It was a bit of a guessing game getting the wiring hooked up right but once done it looks incredibly nice :-) &lt;{ under counter installation for me }.

I don't know, it would depend on the strip lights you are trying to power and how much current each one draws. As long as the total current drawn is less than the rated output of this device (5 Amps) you could use only one, otherwise you would need more than one. Using only one for three strips might also cause some hookup problems if you are not technically adapt.

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! :)

No, multiple strips should not be directly connected in series end-to-end (see Product Description). Instead, multiple strips should be wired in parallel (power source must be of adequate capacity).

I believe that you can run 6 strips. I am running two transformers, one with four strips and one with three.

Only if they are on the same power supply. It is connected in-line between the power supply and the light strip.
