have 10M and 5M strip can i use splitter, one power source w/o color distortion at end of strip? Color changes at end of 10M if I plug 5M in series

Mine is running 2 15 footers. Colors match and are solid through. No issues.

Should work. I have 2 sets 16 ft long. I can run both on one power supply. Just make sure heavy duty 12 volt power supply. The big square ones

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! :)

Each strip requires 12VDC at 6amps. Do not daisy chain all 4 strips together. The strips can't handle 24 amps through the traces of 4 strips. You need to connect each strip separately to the power supply. You can use 4 separate 6amp power supplies or use one 30amp power supply. The data connectors need to be daisy chained together. You input the data to the first strip and it passes to the rest of the strips. The RGB LED's are in groups of 3 so 10 pixels per meter or 50 pixels per strip. 4 strips equals 200 pixels total. I hope this helps.

Technically you can connect a few in series but then they will not be bright. So its recommended to use the powersupply that comes with the kit for each 5 meter strip. To get the strip to full brightness you need 72W. If you use more your 72W will be split between two 5M strip at half the brightness.

Yes, though you have to make sure that your power source has the proper amperage to carry it. I'm sure that 10-15 meters is fine. Just make sure that you have enough power to supply the strips and aren't overloading the power source.

The light cable plugs in to one. The power cable plugs in the second input. And that should be all there is to this. The far end of the light strip does have another "port". This allows you to connect another light strip to extend the system. There's no need to connect anything to that end if you are not extending it.

You can't run 5 strips in series, the power brick, or dc converter will not supply that many leds with adequate power. The most that might work together would be two of these strips. Voltage drop becomes an issue with any more than that which could create an electrical hazard. Like another person suggested, go to a lighting professional if your looking to light up a very long run.

I used a two way splitter offered when purchasing this product. You will buy and pay for the splitter separate for around $7

My understanding is that you can. They have to all plug into the power source and can not be daisy chained in a line one after the other. I want to use about five of them together and am going to try it soon. LEDwholesalers has not been very helpful answering how to get the color changing module in place so all of them will be the same color in unison. I think more than two would blow the color module but I'm not clear on that. I know you can put two together with a splitter though.

You will need an additional converter. The strip is capable of using both voltages but does not convert voltages

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

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.

Sorry no idea.. I use a power supply with this funky power splitter... I can only guess maybe a few hours sequential use tops...my strobo tuner lasted for a few months but it is only used for a few minutes at a time/

These are a little bluish, maybe around what you're looking for. I'd guess that they're a little higher than 7000K. Felix is correct that these are very bright when run at ~13.5 to 14.0V, I run mine at 13.8V. Lahiru is dong something wrong. FYI, if your strip is longer than, maybe, 10' I'd run the supply wires to both ends. If I ran the full 30' strip I'd run the supply to both ends and the middle. Why? Because there will be enough of a voltage drop along the copper traces on the strip that the LED's on the end will be noticeably dimmer if you only connect to one end.

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.

You do not need a 10 inch strip at all to run the lunar light. You just need the power supply. I high recommend spending just a tad more and buying the in line dimmer to go with it. The lunar light is actually way to bright without it. It's not required but add it to your order and save on the shipping and you will thank me later. Not exaggerating when I say it's bright! Tones down perfectly with the dimmer, as dim or bright as you want it to be.

You would need to check the max wattage for each strip and add those values together. The sum should be greater than 150 watts for it to not blow the LEDs. I would recommend for there to be at least about a 25% difference in wattage, so the strips should have a max of about 160 watts. This is to make sure the LEDs don't overheat too badly if left on for longer periods of time.
