How many ? Good for how many water proof 16-foot LED strips light ?

the formula for watts is E*I=W that's volts times current equal watts. Amazon lists 16 Feet Waterproof LED Light at 12V @ 2A so that would be 24watts so you can only use ONE 16-foot LED LED light strip on a 30 Watt LED Power Supply

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 would put no more than 30ft of 3528 LEDs at 60 LEDs per meter. I personally limit it to 16ft so the power supply doesn't get too warm.

5050 LED strip lights are .24 Watts each. If you run the power supply at 70%, that's 21 watts or 87 LED's.

well you need to sum the total load the power supply must drive and personally I recomend you to use any power supply at 70% of its maximum cappacity; That means you must sum the total load for your 8' led strips and divide by .7, the total you get is the recomended power load for the power supply you need, don't buy waterproof if you don't need it, a vented circuit works better than a sealed that is more expensive too

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.

You Get 1 LED. Also, be aware that this light is sensitive to rain. You need to wrap duct tape over the area where the two halfs of the housing meet

Hi Freind Thanks for your inquiry about IP65 Waterproof 5M/16.4 Ft RGB SMD 3528 LED Color Changing 300 LED Flexible Strip Light .Of course ,you can connect more than 1 REEL together without any attachment .But there is one the most important case ,the Supply voltage must ensure that the full specified amount.Thanks

I don't think that four of them will be adequate lighting. You will need at least 8. Four for each side on a pole. 12-16 would be optimal.

We ran these along a split rail fence around the same length. We put one every second section so with the 'vees' it came to about one light every fourteen feet. Illumination is fine as long as ambient lighting is what you are looking for. For us they were driveway markers so people would not end up in the creek. PS The bulbs for these are hard to find in Lowe's and run around $4 bucks a piece. Buy in bulk from Amazon and keep a supply on hand. The moisture gets to bulb base in these lights after time and I would keep a couple spares on hand as well.

im using the EconoLed 5M Non-Waterproof 5050 SMD 300 LED Strip Light instead of the one that comes with it. Its much brighter and has more LEDs on it than the default strip.

You will need to get a power supply LED driver to run these lights. Depending on the length of the strip (number of lights) and the environment (outdoor or indoor location) you will need to select the best driver for your application. This is an example of a water proof supply I am using outside on out patio to drive a partial strip of lights (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FWO24US/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). If the entire strip of LEDs draws 1.7 - 2Amps at 12V, which would be 20-24 Watts, you could use a single 30W driver to power the entire strip.

We have no waterproofing issues with these lights and ours are completely outdoors. We are at 190 feet on one plug. Hope that's helpful.

I don't know the exact amount except to say there are a lot! The whole line is 16.4 feet and each LED is spaced less than a 1/2" apart. So for the sake of count, that means there are about 24 lights per foot, times that by 16.4 feet and you get 393.6 lights! Safe to say round out to 400 lights or so!!! I have them on my RV awning and when they are turned up all the way they are very bright. Hope this helps.

no but you can order waterproof units. I have had a strip outside for over 2 years and it works fine. Search IP66 LED STRIP or waterproof LED Strip

Not sure but I know the lights are "water-proof". And as long as the roll / lights don't get kinked so bad that they could sever then I believe you should be ok. I love the product.

These are SMD LEDs, which are designed for 12.0V-DC. The will, however operate on as little as 9V, up to a maximum of 18V before damaging them. They are DC ONLY! Running on AC current will damage them permanently. Also, 16.4' utilizes roughly 24W of power, and requires 2A output minimum on the power supply. If you are running these from the RV battery bank or the alternator, you will have more than ample power to supply several of these strips nightly. I am running six strips of these lights, one of them 24x7 from a bank of two 100Ah deep-cycle batteries, and the draw per day is only 12% of my total off-charge capacity daily. One strip can be ran for 4-days or more, without recharge! In an average RV setting, 4-6 hours per night, two batteries will supply the several strips for a week without need for recharge.

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.

The light strip comes to within two inches of each end of the light fixture. You'll want the 48", since two 24" would leave a 4" gap unlit in the center, plus wouldn't look as sleek and clean as the single fixture. I have them on both of my 55-gal tanks, and love them. (The center support on my tanks don't interfere with the light, since it sits slightly above the top of the tank.)

You can't run 5 strips in series, the power brick, or dc converter will not supply that many leds with adequate power. The most that might work together would be two of these strips. Voltage drop becomes an issue with any more than that which could create an electrical hazard. Like another person suggested, go to a lighting professional if your looking to light up a very long run.

I only have one plant and one Colormax and it give me low medium light in a 20 gallon long tank. You should probably need 6500 and a third strip of your choice would not hurt. I really like what the Colormax bulb does; The colors "pop" on both plants and fish.
