I own a "Lighting EVER - Power Adaptor, Transformers, Power Supply For LED Strip, 12V, 3A Max, 36 Watt Max - Is this ok to use 3A?

3Amps only refers to the amount of power it *can* provide. You need to have a power supply that can provide as many, or more, amps than the lights use, so more power at the power supply is a good thing.

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.

This is a 30 Watt supply. It is fine for one 16 foot 3528 LED strip (typically consumes about 16W) I have also found that it is OK for one 16 foot 5500 LED strip (typically consumes about 22 Watt). This supply will not run even one 16 foot, high-power LED strip. (I have found that 5630 LED strip (16 foot) can consume as much as 42 Watts - The 5630 LED strip definitely overloads this supply)

I have four of these transformers in my yard lighting system. Each is rated at 300 watts so you should be good. I run several systems almost right at 300 watts and they do fine. I did have one transformer timer fail after four years, but Intermatic replaced it within four days. Exceptional customer service!

I run two 5050 17.4 feet HD RGB strips. Thats 600 LEDs that has been running for over two years with a 12v/10A power supply. I have never had a single issue with it. The power supply can be found here > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C055BK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

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

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divideby your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire)This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

The strip itself needs 12volts. You can use whatever power supply as long as the output is 12 volts (3 amp) , you would need to solder on the wires to the strip.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

You can use any low voltage lighting power supply. Just be sure to purchase the correct wattage power supply for the total number of lights that will be used on the system. You may want to research how to select the right power supply on the internet.

Only one of these strips can be supported using a 30 Watt power supply. We offer several different power options on Amazon and HitLights.com.

It should operate with any 12v power supply and LED strip. As long as you don't exceed the 12A rating you should be fine. An FYI though, this product is extremely unreliable. I purchased 2 and they both didn't work.

Sorry, I don't know the maximum wattage for the adapters. I am using them with 13 watt CFL's, and they work just fine.

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

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.

If you are using a power supply rated at 3 amps you should never put a load on it that is over 3 amps. It is just asking for troubles. Power supplies are quite inexpensive lately, so, take a few bucks and buy what you really need. Good luck with your project.

Mine came with all the components listed above. Except that instead of a 3A, 12V power supply listed in the details it came with a 1A, 12V power supply. At full white the strip will draw more 3 times more current than the power supply can handle. I will work with Amazon since this can create a dangerous electrical situation.
