does anybody feel comfortable to use these leads with 400 v DC ?

I would not use them on 400 V DC. My thought is it would get very hot and melt.

Voltage is energy potential only.. it depends on the amperage.... I would not use them on more then 1 maybe 2 amps.

Yes, that will work perfectly fine. Be sure to put a 330ohm resistor in series with the LED to keep it from burning out. However, since that limits the current it may affect the performance of the booster at lower voltages. It would be best to place the led in series with the IN- terminal. Remember, electricity always flows in a loop, from + to -. Just make sure you have the LED the right direction and don't forget the resistor and all should he fine.

I think you would be fine as LEDs don't draw much current. I have @ 12ft split in 3ea 4ft lengths with no issues at all.

I have not personally tryed to use them, but with the low amp draw of the LEDs I don't see any reason that they would have any problems! Great idea because cr123a batters are not cheep! And this is a great light that I love using for everything

Newbs... Yes it's safe. Dynamics ignore phantom power because they don't use it.

Yes, they come with a nice 120-230VAC to 12VDC Adapter. If you wanted to you could connect to any other source of 12VDC. It is a great product.

They are not necessary, but I have found that the voltage feels stronger without them, even on the lowest setting. So, it can be done, but it might be too much "zappage".

I would wire them as Anthony Gomes answered. Keep in mind the high current draw possible with a fully loaded 2000 watt inverter on the 12VDC input side. Use the shortest cables possible, and large enough to handle the high current, with good quality, secure connections.

I think they can be. You can try going to LEDGLOWS website to find a tutorial. Or I think I watched a video on YouTube on how to do it, however I just plugged mine into the four pin connector.

No, there 12 volt DC, not house current. If you try to use them on house current you will burn them up. And it would be dangerous

Having to use one on a project, I cut one in half (length-wise). Scary - Really scary.These are not made with 20-gauge. Maybe not even 24-gauge. Barely larger than 30-gauge wire-wrap. I was going to strip and solder one end. But this will be difficult, even with a small, low-wattage soldering iron. These are probably fine for signal-level work (r.f. and audio). For higher voltage and current applications, it may be better (safer, at least) to construct your own jumper-cables.The Chinese continue to scimp on metal. Somthing to keep in mind when buying from Asia. Having to use one on a project, I cut one in half (length-wise). Scary - Really scary.These are not made with 20-gauge. Maybe not even 24-gauge.

I would be cautious of the length of the run and the environment. I had issues getting picture, but it was because I had to run right next to ac voltage. When I ran test leads that were separated it worked very well. I had no choice but to run next to the ac so I had to use a much more expensive single cat6 balun instead. If you don't have issues with electric you should be fine.

Yup. Look online for ohm-specific wiring patterns when you do your first setup.

If you are hooking them up to a boat or RV (12 volt DC system) or to a 12vDC battery, yes they are dead easy to hook up. If you are wanting to wire them into your house to use with utility provided electricity (AC) then it is alot more complicated. They are wired with quick connectors on the back side. You'll have to look up what kind they are and match them to what you want to hook them to. If they don't match you can cut them off and wire in the correct type. I would suggest you read a little or hit youtube for a few videos on how it works and how to hook them up.

Hello Dave,I am driving 4 of the 16.4' strips (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SXGS94/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) with this transformer without any issues (no heat, runs cool). I have both of the leads coupled together, going to my wireless dimmer and it works perfect...really nice feature and cheap price (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X4O1NG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1).I hope this helps.--Dustin

I always you the secondary lead for actuating the solenoid. You can use either side. Therefore I never had a need to know the ohm rating, sorry

Probably so. Although they may not be as bright. On the plus side maybe less likely to melt as mine did. Over-voltage definitely not a good idea you will let out the magic smoke that makes it work.
