If the rgb connections are the same, then yes. I'm pretty sure each of these lights are made similar but could have subtle differences to cause the colors to not work in sync. I would contact the seller and ask them. Good luck.

should be able to just double check the pins to make sure they are the same

It would be much easier & less expensive to buy a 5m (16.5ft) LED strip and cut it to the length you need. A 5M weather proof LED light strip is $9.99 here on Amazon ($0.61ft vs $1.75ft)

Hello my dear L. D. Mitchell, Yes, you can connect 2 of this 5050 LED stip and make a 10 meter strip. But the 4-pin male connector is needed for hooking and if you want , here is link for your reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AT6DWQ4. Kindly tell you that the wattage for each 5-meter strip is 72w. Should you have any further question, pls kindly email Lemonbest freely at any time. We are always here for help. Best Regards Lemonbest

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 you it may require a higher wattage power supply because you will draw twice the current.each strip draws 72 watts minimum so 2 strips require a 150 watt power supply. if used outdoors the power supply must be waterproof or it will not last long.

With a higher wattage power supply you could connect all 5 strips to one power supply but you would still overload the control driver that changes the colors.. I have used these in many kitchens that I have wired.. One strip over the cabinets, one under the toe kick, and another for under the upper cabinets (for task lighting) I think I have went up to 32 feet on a transformer and they are still working correctly after 1 1/2 years.

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 can simply enough solder the connection together if you're confident with soldering. Else buy the LED strips with the four pin connectors on each end and connect the two strips together.

All the 5050 leds draw approx 0.2W per LEd, if the strip is 300 leds that's 60W, 60W at 12V is 5A. So if you run them in white at full brightness you will need a 5A 12V supply, If you have less you may have problems with the remote not working correctly and an overloaded supply can burn out and if you get low enough in Voltage the white button will give you red, and there are a host of other strange colors that do not follow the correct button color. In most cases 2A will most likely work at low brightness but at full brightness it wont be enough.

Yes, this controller does support RGB 5050 Strips. Based on my experience a 12VDV power supply of 750mA or better will suffice. If you plan to use more than one 15 foot length of 5050 strips, consider 1-1.5A or higher. Any more than 2 LED strips will require additional RGB amplifiers and additional power supplies.

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.

should be fine with one strip assuming you are referring to a single color strip, not an RGB strip. I'd question it's ability to handle more than one length as that could be too much current. I wouldn't count on these to handle the full amperage they say they will ;)

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

Hi. For one led strip will need a 12v DC 2AMP power supply. If you need to add another one and use only one power supply for both strips, you will need a strip connector to connect both strips and a 12v DC 4AMP (at least) power supply.

There are 300 RGB LED's. Each LED can change color. This set is waterproof because there is a plastic coating over the LEDs. Someone wrote that you can cut the strips, but I don't recommend it because of the plastic coating on the LEDS. Maybe they had the non-waterproof kind.
