i have bought from you 3 strip lights led,can i use three of them together with the same ac power supply and if not what should i do to make all thre

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: http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Splitter-LED-Changing-Strips/dp/B0077IPRAG/ Hope that helps! :)

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.

You can use three of these on 1 transformer. Just plug the lights together. there are plugs on each end for that. make sure that they are plugged in the right way or they will not work ( just rotate the plug and try again)

No. Based on info provided doing some quick math a 3 watt 700 mA Led would have a voltage drop (3W/.7 amps) of about 4.285 volts per Led. using 3 LEDs in series would give total drop across all three about 12 volts. If you notice the LED strips are sets of 3 LEDs in series with a current limiting resistor in series with each set of 3 LEDs, not all LEDs just in series. Answer is: no neither one would work. If you connected the LEDs correctly then this power supply would work for either as both ten 5 watt and ten 3 watt LEDs are both less then the 60 watts. All the LED strips I've seen can be cut into sets of 3 LEDs or cut at any length of 3 sets, it might be easier to buy a cheap LED strip and cut off what ever amount of LED sets you need as they are already connected with current limiting resistors and only need to be connected to a 12V power supply of correct wattage. if must have ten LEDs in series then you would need to calculate for that... ten 3 watt LEDs would need about a 43 volt power supply and would still need a current limiting resistor in series too. Good luck on finding a 43 volt power supply... most likely would need to use a 48 volt supply and calculate voltage drop and limiting resistor values

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.

Are you running 3 full standard 16.4ft, 150 led rolls/strips equaling 49.2 feet? Each strip is 3 Amps witch means the power supply must be 12v 9 Amps minimum. If you are over 49.2 feet you might need a stronger power supply or add another amplifier to the run. The amplifier output reads 12A but I've noticed that all diagrams never show more the two strips per amplifier. Good luck

Hi Barb. It worked for me to connect 2 strips to the same power source and control them with the same controller. I haven't tried with 3 strips yet.

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 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 Williams castillo Is each of your LED strips is 24 watts for every 5m? Then just sum the total and as you can see the led driver is 100 watts from the power output so if you use 4 strips you will be ok (96 watts) and within the range of the driver

not sure what you mean. This is just a power supply. connect AC to the AC input and use the DC outputs to power your LEDs.

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.

You can use the 60W as the lights AMPS is very low. Here is tech details Works well, but too blue for my liking. The LEDs are a cool white which makes them very blue. They need to offer a warm white version. Some technical info that is missing from Amazon: 1. There is no data sheet or technical information included with the purchase. 2. Each group of 3 LEDs draws 17 ma (.017 amps) of current at 12 VDC. The circuit is 3 LEDs and 150 ohm resistor in series. 3. The total string of 300 LEDs draws 1.7 amps of current at 12 VDC. 4. The power supply must be DC - not AC. To operate on 12 VAC, a full wave diode bridge must be used. 5. The LEDs can be operated at a lower (7.5 VDC min) or higher voltage (14.6 v) for dimmer or brighter light output. 6. The LED strip can be operated at a higher voltage for a much brighter output, but it must be a very short duration (1 sec max)

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.

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.

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 ;)

I ran 3 LED strips using 2 extension cables (PSU --&gt; Controller --&gt; Splitter --&gt; LED Strip --&gt; Extension cable --&gt; LED Strip --&gt; Extension Cable --&gt; LED Strip and it worked fine. Need to ensure you have the correct PSU Wattage for however long your strips are. NOTE: I have read online your maximum strip lengths should be @16.5 feet. However, using splitters allows you to maximize LED strips on one PSU. Just be mindful of the total wattage and do the math right.

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood
