Can these strips be hooked end to end to make a 10 meter strip? What is the wattage of each strip?

Hello my dear L. D. Mitchell, Yes, you can connect 2 of this 5050 LED stip and make a 10 meter strip. But the 4-pin male connector is needed for hooking and if you want , here is link for your reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AT6DWQ4. Kindly tell you that the wattage for each 5-meter strip is 72w. Should you have any further question, pls kindly email Lemonbest freely at any time. We are always here for help.

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.

Unfortunately they are not compatible with the next meter, you must use the Next strips, Amazon also offers this item in its inventory...

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.

if they are not double density strips, yes. Standard strip is 2 amps or 24 watts. You can run up to 4 of those. 4 amp 48 watt strips, you can only run 2.

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

the strips are 10-1/4" long, the links are 4-1/8" long. I have one set installed without the links that is 31"+ 1" for the end connector, the one with the links is 39-1/4" + 1" for the end connector.

depends how long is your strip, traditional strips usually are 16.4 and the 12v is not strong enough to go to the second strip.

Yes, However you must maintain the integrity of the upper and lower buss strips. You will lower the wattage by 3.34 watts for every inch you remove.

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.

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.

Yes they can. There are couplers made to interconnect strips. Search for "strip to strip connector". Same type connector is made with raw wire on one side and connector on other. Alternate option is to solder the wires to the locations on each strip. Simple to do, just look at how the factory end was soldered and make sure your wires match colors and locations. Don't forget power supply and dimmer if needed.

Each strip is ~12" long. The power connections add an inch (at each end if you daisy chian...)

You would need 10 of these strips to do that. The power supply that comes with the kit can only handle one strip. Unless you buy 10 of these, then you need to provide an outlet that can handle all ten connections. I recommend buying the strips by itself and getting a power supply and remote unit to change colors separately. You will need to buy a power supply that can supply 50 amps while maintaining a minimum of 12 volts. This means you need a supply that can handle 600 watts. Search amazon using those three values, 12V 50amps or 600 Watts and you should find a power supply that can handle three of those strips. You can always have multiple power supplies. 5 strips on 12V, 300Watts supply each.

They have two wires soldered on each end of the strip. You can add what ever length of wire to it to get to power.

Technically you can connect a few in series but then they will not be bright. So its recommended to use the powersupply that comes with the kit for each 5 meter strip. To get the strip to full brightness you need 72W. If you use more your 72W will be split between two 5M strip at half the brightness.
