Will this supply the needed power for 3 5M strip light soldered together, #3528 12V2A/each, 24Watts, .4amp each?

If I am reading this correctly, you have three strip lights, each drawing 2Amps, soldered together. That comes to 6Amps total and the power supply in question is only rated at 5Amps. So, no, this would not work, or not for very long before the power supply overheated an burned!

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.

You are dealing with two 27 watt lights and using a power supply rated at 12 amps. Be sure to check amount of amps to run the two lights. Theoretically it should work.

According to the product package one power supply can handle up to 36 watts and each LED strip is only 3 watts so you should be able to connect 12 in sequence without any problems.

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:Ledwholesalers 4 Pin Splitter for One to Two LED RGB Color Changing Strips, 2355Hope that helps! :) 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.

Yes. But more strips means your power supply needs to provide more electric current (amps). Make sure your power supply is rated for the number of strips you want to connect together. MAX Amps per Strip X Number of Strips=MIN Required Power Supply Amps.

No, not by just connecting one strip to another. Anything beyond 2 5meter strips will be to far from the power source.That amount of length would probably require a data repeater for every 10meters of light strips.

I would say that as long as the controller supports the 24v input, then the strips will work. While I'm sure that others LED strips have tight tolerances, I've found that these can work with most anything you give them. These are essentially a row of LEDs that just have the power level ajusted per color. I just tested having two strips run off one controller (given, mine is a 12v 6a) and they work just fine. The white at full brightness is a bit 'dirty' because there isn't enough power, but otherwise it works.

If you bought several kits and used them independently with the supply provided with each (not connecting them together) it would work. However if you want to connect them together you would need to calculate the wattage of the entire run and buy an appropriately sized power supply. 5050SMD's draw about .24w per LED. This kit has 300 5050SMD's so it's 72 watts.

If I'm not mistaken, according to the website you need a 12-volt power supply for up to four strips. http://www.hitlights.com/ls3528-rd-gn-bl-144.html

How could it be 2 amps at 12v - that would be 24 watts of power consumption. Say we have 1.7fv at 60ma on each of the 48 LEDs. With resistors (as opposed to a CC power supply) this would consume about 420 mA. How do you get to 2amps?

This strip is powered by a 12 volts DC converter, so as long as your power supply has an output of 12vdc then I would not hesitate hooking them up. This is a very versatile set of lights. Have fun with them.

I have hooked 3 up and it was 2 amp i have not tried 4 but it should work leds are very low power usage

It depends on the maximum amperage of the controller. I'm assuming you meant 12V, 120W. This would be a 10A power supply. If your controller can handle 10A than you do not need a repeater. If your controller can't handle 10As, than you will not only need a repeater, but a separate power supply for the controller and the repeater. Keep in mind also that each 5M strip is supposed to be able to pull 6A's if you ignore voltage drop. They usually pull about 5A because of voltage drop. This means that if you put these two LED strips on full blast (white), you will be maxing out your power supply even if your controller can handle 10As. This is generally a bad idea; it always a good idea to have some overhead.

The answer provided below is incorrect. The LED is rated at 72W for 5 meter strip or 2Amps / Color. For RGB, you are looking at 6Amps at 12v or 72Watts. The included 60W power supply (12V @ 5A) is under powered for 1 strip and in appropriate for 3 strips. If you are using 5m RGB 5050 LEDs with 72W rating as what is described in this product, you would need 72W x 3 = 216W to adequately supply the necessary power to light up 3 strips that are 16' in length.

Yes just make sure that you get 12v dc LEDs and think you need mor then one repeter each strip is 16 feet long and can draw 72 watts at 12v each
