My set up is 2 300 LED 5050 RGB 5M strips, I have 2 strips with 5M cord between, do I need a power supply for the repeater?

The repeater can hook up to the same power supply as the first strip so long as the power supply has enough wattage to drive both of them.

The repeater needs its own power supply (and it was not included with mine) its function is to pass forward the RGB signal from the previous string so that your strings stay in sync while providing power for the second string.

Yes the repeater needs power. You can use one supply for everything if its big enough that's what I did, otherwise the repeater needs it's own power supply.

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.

simple answer, nope. This strip takes up to 72 watts. The power supply is 12 volt 6 amp output. Using Watts=Watts/Volts the power supply can handle only 72watts. you would need an inline amplifier and another power adapter.

You can attach two 5M strips no problem on a 5A power supply. Can get away with three max but will have power drop.

It would require 9 TSSS Data RGB Signal Repeaters to insure that the last strip would be as bright as the first strip.. And also if not used would shorten the life spam of the leds to almost nothing if not totally ruining them.. i know this because I have made the mistake myself trying to save money.. sorry to respond so slowly..

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.

Only one strip, you could maybe get away with two. You'll need to purchase an RGB amplifiers for the additional strips

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.

You should definitely check the recommendation of the manufacturer of the LEDs. Most recommend parralel not series connection due to voltage and current limitations of the strips.

No...the led strip requires an RGB Driver (included). This driver input requires a 12VDC source but the input to the Driver requires a 2.1 m X 5.5 m center positive barrel connector, not included. This connector can be purchesed seperatrly, it will have the correct output connector and flying leads that can be connected to your 12VDC source.

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.

I run two 5050 17.4 feet HD RGB strips. Thats 600 LEDs that has been running for over two years with a 12v/10A power supply. I have never had a single issue with it. The power supply can be found here > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C055BK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

yes , you just need some 4pin RGB Connector and a larger power , one roll 16.4ft need a 12V 5A power , 2 rolls 32.8ft need a 12V 10A power , here is the link for you ,4pin RGB Connector _ Speller 30 PCS 4PIN RGB Male Plug Adapter Connector For RGB 3528 5050 LED Strip Light 5A power_ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WIK5OEC 10A power_ 12 Volt 10 Amp DC Power Supply Adapter, Standard

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.

As long as you do not exceed 12w per channel. Check the wattage on the leds. I would guess that a 5050smd strip would draw about 10w. You'll probably be fine.

Hello:According to power requirement on these strip, each require 60 Wall, 3 strips will be total of 180 Watt so you will need a 300 Watt power supply

Assuming that your LED strips are 12V, this is simple. Connect the LED light strip Red to V+ and Black to V-. You will still need to connect a power cord to the power supply. The simplest way to proceed is to buy a short 3 wire extension cord and cut off the receptacle end. Fasten the Black wire to "L", the White wire to "N" and the Green Wire to Ground (sometimes shown as a dashed arrow). If your extension cord wire colors are Blue Brown and Yellow/Green, Connect the Brown wire to "L", Blue to "N" and Yellow/Green to Ground.
