Will I still need a power supply as well as this dimmer for my LED strip lights and what connectors do I also need to order?

yes you will need a 12volt supply. The terminals are bare wire clamp ons so you shouldn't need any connecters. This is for single color LEDS not RGB version of LEDS.

The light strips come just as a roll of lights. There is no power supply with them You Have to have some way to power them. You can buy one that goes with it or use your own. It take a 12 volt DC power supply that is rated at least 3 amps. The dimmer is optional. If you want to vary the intensity of the lights then you will have to buy one. The dimmer does not supply any power, it just dims the lights.

Yes you will need the power supply. The dimmer goes between the power supply and the lights. Just a couple of 18 or 22 size wires will work fine cut to the lengths needed. As for the connectors, depends on how many pieces you're going to have. If you need to go around corners, then it's easier to cut the strip and make the40/90 degree bend you require. Then you would need 2 connectors, (One for each strip) one long length would need only 1 connector. Unless you're handy with a soldering iron (pencil type) I'd check out a couple of videos on www.youtube.com, for hints and tips. It's not hard but patience goes along way in working with these. But the finished job is well worth it. Everyone that comes in my kitchen and sees them does the oooo's and awwwws. Also makes a nice night light when you go out.

No power supply needed for box to work but yes for lights to work. Just put the box somewhere in the line of the wires. Cut splice and plug in. Simple. no connectors needed for the box itself but you may need your choice of connectors to extend the wires of your existing lights.

If you want to have dimmable led strips then you should put the dimmer after the power supply. I used a "HitLights 12-24Volt One Channel Touch Dimmer For Solid LED Lighting Strip, 8 Amp" ($12,99) with "HitLights Warm White Double Density 600 LEDs Flexible Light Strip, 3528 Type SMD, 5 Meter or 16.4 Ft, 12 Volt, 48 Watt" ($20.95) and this power supply and it works great. Read the customer review on the dimmer from Beanhall for a neat idea. I followed his/her suggestion and connected the dimmer to a metal fixture so it is a neat touch sensor on/off & dimmer. It wow's the heck out of all on my guests who see it in operation. I don't know if the powersupply works with Lutron dimmer switches but I know trying to control power supplies with dimmer switches at 110V AC can be a lot more of a problem then controlling at 12V DC and they often hum. The approach I took was a lot cheaper.

I don't know... what ever you do, you have to make sure you are feeding DC current to the strip of LED's. Since this dimmer is made for AC and not DC curernt, it may not work.

I would recommend using the 12v dimmer after the power supply. Cutting"Dimming" the power prior to a power supply defeats the purpose of its capability to convert power from 110v AC to 12v DC. This is the one that I used Leegoal LEDwholesalers LED Strip Lights PWM Dimming Controller For LED Lights or Ribbon, 12 Volt 8/10 Amp, 3301 Hope that will help you with your wiring.

I don't know. You'd have to do the math w/ the watts and amps this power supply supplies. My advice would be to find the needs of your light strip and then search based on those specs. That's how I found this wall wart for my wall clock.

Hi ! Before you buy it check the " actual transformer for LED ". Check the voltage and the POWER required . Normally LED strings/strips are working at 12VDC . as I do not know your "LED arrangement" I cannot say if this transformer can be used for your application !

I'm not sure why they said "plug and play", these strips are a "raw" component and require a 12 VDC power source. There are many such power supplies available. However, some electronic skill is required to wire them up. You will also need wire and connectors. If you would like to dim them, controls are available (both manual and some that are wireless. Amazon and other sources have numerous parts for these functions.

Why would you need to? Its a repeater. Your first power source should be enough for the first LED strip, after each strip you install a repeater.

Nope, you will need a 120ac/12vdc power supply for these lights. These are light emitting DIODES, so you must observe the proper polarity when you are hooking them up.

You would need to purchase a 10mm 4pin Plug Female Connector Adapter Extension Cable for 5050 RGB LED Strip Lights: 10pcs 10mm 4pin Plug Female Connector Adapter Extension Cable for 5050 RGB LED Strip Lights You would also need a 4 Pin Connector Male for Led Strip Lights RGB 5050: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LR35VK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I used: Ledwholesellers inline pwm 12v 2amp dimmer for led strips with DC jack. it works fine for what I need but the connections were a tiny bit looser than I would have liked but otherwise a good product for the price

About any of the led strip supplies will work for this / these. I use the ones that look like PC lap top supplies. Lighting EVER® Power Adaptor, Transformers, Power Supply For LED Strip, 12V, 3A Max, 36 Watt Max . These are about $10.00 each. You will need about 30watts (<3 Amps) per strip. I have found the supplied controller will drive at least 2 strips pretty well. It is recommended not to use more than 2 strips in series (one plugged into the next.

I believe on one end it had the Female connector for the 12v dc adapter. If you look at the "most customers also bought" , they usually suggest the AC-DC converter, as well as a dimmer.

Look up the 12 volt 48watt power supply that's the one I use with mine it's also prett sweet to have the led dimmer I believe led wholesalers is who I bought from through amazon

I agree with Dylan. Just make sure you have purchased the connectors required to place the dimmer in the location you need it.

Just the strip of lighting I use them with 12v batteries and any 12v power suppy will work. Standard 12v female adapter on the end of led....and an assortment of dimmers and switching are available...power supply extra.
