I'm using QTY of 5 3528 LED strips.Each strip is on its own run tied to a single female power adapter. Total wattage is 120. Will this adaptor work?

Each strip should say how many volts it needs. Time that by the number of strips you want to string together. Make sure to add about 20 more volts for more than 4 strips. Most strips are 5 meters long. Hope this helps.

I believe it would work. You need 10 amps at 12 volts (120 watts or 120 volt-amps). This unit can supply 12.5 amps at 12 volts.

This was purchased for a model railroad club to power LEDs from strips in model buildings and structures on a modular layout. The reasons I chose it was because it has plenty of power and and was easy to mount on the bottom of a modular section of the layout. These modules are set up or stored in a building or trailer that aren't cooled or heated like a normal inside environment. It works as expected and so far there haven't been any problems.

If the total power required is 120W at 12VDC, then this power supply is adequate. Make sure that the LED strips are wired in parallel. Note that the output of this power supply has two wires (instead of a DC jack).

The strips must be connected to use the same power source. I suppose if you had a long enough extender, the one that comes with it is maybe 4", it might work.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yes, I run one and a half of the 5050 strips. I could run two or more of the lower output strips but each of the full 5m 5050 strips uses 72W so I wanted to leave a little headroom.

I am using the 60w adapter to connect two of the 5 meter hitlights units together (Linked at the bottom of my reply). It works fine. I opted for the 60w adapter, because the 5m hitlight LED strips are 1.5 w/ft, and they are 16.4 ft long, which actually totals 24.6 watts. A 48 w adapter probably would work, but I opted for a little insurance room.HitLights Cool White SMD3528 LED Light Strip - 300 LEDs, 16.4 Ft Roll, Cut to length - 5000K, 82 Lumens / 1.5 Watts per foot, Requires 12V DC

the power supply shown here would only run ONE LED strip. Each strip (Amazon item Triangle Bulbs T93007) uses 25 watts at 12 volts DC which is 2.1 amps So 6 strips would use 150 watts or 12.5 amps. You would want to up those ratings by at least 20%. However I suspect the internal wiring structure of these LED strips is too light to carry more than two strips connected together. Two strips would be 50 watts or 4.2 amps at 12 volts dc.

I am using a 12v 2A power supply for 4 strips and it works fine. It's this one: HitLights LED Power Adapter Transformer with 110VAC to 12VDC, 2 Amp, 24 watt, black

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

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.

I never used this transformer for LED strip light. I use this transformer for halogen lamps. I have two 20W 12V halogen lamps connected to each transformer I purchased. I bought 9 of them in October 2012 and use them daily, but not continuous. They work great for now. I think if your strip light is around 40 watts it should work. Good luck with your project.

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.

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. http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-Repeater-Amplifier-Strips-Connectors/dp/B0081CZJGO/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412290653&sr=8-3-fkmr3&keywords=led+strip+inline+amplifier+with+power+supply and http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adaptor-Transformers-Supply-Lights/dp/B00K71VMCW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412290770&sr=8-2&keywords=led+strip+power+supply

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 would say no. I could not find current draw info ,but I had 2 strings attached to the 30 watt supply and went thru 2 of these power supply's. They kept failing. I just switched to a 100 watt supply. Without seeing current draw on these 16 foot strips, it is hard to say for sure how many watts will be required. I would start with the 100 watt supply. Or if you can find the current draw of a single 16 foot strip, just multiply that by the qty of strips and that times 12 volts. That will give you the total wattage power supply needed. Example. If each strip draws 2 amps, and you use 5 strips, then 10 times 12 equals 120 watts. You will need to find the current draw to be sure. I would say no.
