How many LEDs will this power? I want to use this with LED strips.

Look at the watt power that the psu can deliver. Then look at your Led strips and see what the consumption is per strip, multiply the number of strips x the consumption . Then work out how many strips you can have . Try not to run the psu at 100%. Hope this helps

All the answers below mirror my experience. Works with mono LED strip without a problem. Bought another to control under cabinet lighting in my other house.

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.

You can use these: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1388815501&sr;=8-1&keywords;=led+pins+connectors but there may be a limit as to how many feet you can connect. From what I have researched it should work. I thought I read somewhere there was some limit as to the length. Only $1.99 for 10 of them.

These simply repeat whatever signal is put into it, with a power boost. This is useful for having only 1 controller, but using these you can send that signal with plenty of power to however many strips and repeaters you want. For my build, I used a 360w power supply and 5 of these repeaters to power and send signals to about 10 RGB LED strips (2 strips per repeater) with just 1 controller. What I used: http://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-Switch-Power-Supply-Switching/dp/B008HARHN8 Edit: On the output side of the repeater, you can see two 'power' terminals. I wired two repeaters from each terminal from the above mentioned power supply. Alternatively, you can also use http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B7BGAXW (though I've had mixed results with plug compatibility). For me, I have my repeaters wired directly into this cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LR6EAY, which then goes to a connector that attaches to the lights. Overall I would suggest using a DC power supply if you plan on using more than 1 of these.

You need a 6 amp power supply for each full strip of lights. If you intend to have all 7 sync'd to the same color then you need six of these

yes, it should work fine,Leds are very low amperage, you might have to use a resister to limit voltage depending on the LED Rating.

I am not sure wgich strip you are asking about. I bought the 300 led's and 600 led's. They are 24 watt and 46 watt. You need to use at least 2 amp for the 24 watt and 3.5 for the 46 watt. The formula to use if I remember it correctly is : Watts=volt X ampSo, at 24 watt, you divide 24 watt by 12 volts and you get 2 ampsHope this helps

The LED strip only has a molex connector; this requires a power supply inside a computer to power it. You would rewire the strips to be powered by another 5V source, but I would go with a different DIY solution.

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.

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. http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-Repeater-Amplifier-Strips-Connectors/dp/B0081CZJGO/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412290653&sr=8-3-fkmr3&keywords=led+strip+inline+amplifier+with+power+supply and http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adaptor-Transformers-Supply-Lights/dp/B00K71VMCW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412290770&sr=8-2&keywords=led+strip+power+supply

each 21 LED strip takes 1.5 watts and the typical power supply used (12 Volts at 1 amp) is 12 watts so the absolute maximum is 8 but I would not use more than 6 staying at 80% of the power supply rating. It typically looks like the supplier uses between 3 and 5.

I was wondering the same thing and still am not 100% sure. But, from what I have read, each 5050 SMD produces 12-15 lumen per chip. This type of strip has 300 chips per 16.4 feet. Check my math, but this comes out to about 219 to 225 lumens per foot of strip. Its hard to find good info on LED strips. No one at Home Depot or Lowes seems very knowledgable. Here is the link where I got my info ... http://www.ledlightsworld.com/led-strips-flexible-led-strips-c-1_49.html

I have 2 LED bulbs connected. You are only limited by the rated wattage - just be sure to not exceed it and you'll be fine.

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.

Are you talking about LEDs, or LED drivers? The numbers you quote seem more typical of LED drivers than of the LEDs themselves. Either way, this power supply is not going to drive 10 of them in series, as the voltage per unit would be too low. A combination of series and parallel might work.
