Do I need a 150w or 300w for 3 of these double density light strips?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GFVH3RQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&

Hello:According to power requirement on these strip, each require 60 Wall, 3 strips will be total of 180 Watt so you will need a 300 Watt power supply

I used three strips of led lights in two different job applications and it worked fine for me....

Thanks for your question. Three strips @ 60 watts equals 180 watts. The three hundred watt transformer would the transformer you needed.

You would require 96-100 Watts of power, which would be around 8 amps for the adapter. We offer several power adapters on Amazon and HitLights.com that will meet your needs. Please note you will also need an amplifier to ensure there is no drop off in brightness in between the second and 3rd strip of lights.

As long as you do not exceed 12w per channel. Check the wattage on the leds. I would guess that a 5050smd strip would draw about 10w. You'll probably be fine.

I do not know for sure and the instructions do not indicate what the power draw is. My power supply is rated at 1 amp output if that helps. The strips were easy to install although I did have to make three of my interconnect cables longer by several feet but it was no big deal. I really like them and they do a nice job of illuminating my counter tops.

You would wire them in parallel with 120v ac going to each one. Each one consists of a light and separate power supply. You will need all 14 power supplies unless you purchase a separate higher power power supply. If you used just one proper power supply someone would have to calculate the proper voltage and current for that new power supply. IF you have 14 lights at 12 watts each that would be 168 watts plus whatever the power supply lose is, so that would probably be under 300 watts. A 15 amp circuit breaker can handle 1500 watts so you should have no problem using 14 lights.

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.

Uha they have 2 options:35w and 55w...You must look your O.E.M light bulb w? ;)

72 watts on 12volts doesn't sound unreasonable. A 16.4 foot strip provides plenty of light. I used 8 feet to illuminate my camper van and had to buy a dimmer as it was too bright. My estimation is approximately .25 watt for each diode and there are 18 per foot. Hope this helps. Paul

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

If I'm not mistaken, according to the website you need a 12-volt power supply for up to four strips. http://www.hitlights.com/ls3528-rd-gn-bl-144.html

I would use the one they sell here along with the LED strip and use a dimmer after that. Not sure how well it will work with a 120 v dimmer to dim the strip lights. I have a hard wired plug inside my cabinet .That is the point I plug in my power pack then used a dimmer from that point on to your strip lights. have fun and good luck

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

hello thank you for your inquiry, the 300W is input wattage, the active wattage is 200W, because we changed the current to 600ma, it is safe to the lights,and can make sure use for 3 years RegardJack

You have to add amount of watt of each strip and not exceed 80 watt. If your strip is 10 watt, you can use 100 watt power supply for 8 or even 9 strips.

This might be too much light. You may want to buy a 3w as well so you can see which one give you the light you want.

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)

60 feet would use about 4 strips, you would need a 96-100 W power source and an amplifier between the second and third strip to prevent power drop off. As long as the control is plug in-line between the power source and the lights, it would control all the lights.
