Led strip light fault

[adsmith]

Hi Guys

I've fitted 12m of LED strip light 9.6watt/meter which equates to 115w. I've used a 150w driver. The lights where checked before and after fitted OK but had not been on for a long period of time. They seem to be turning off by itself now having been left on for a longer time. If I turn the switch off and back on again the lights come on OK but again turn off by itself.

The driver feels warmish but not hot. I'm really hoping this is just a driver issue as the strip light is fitted behind the cornice and not easily accessible.

Just wondered if you guys had any ideas as to what it could be or have experienced similar problems.

Regards

Andy

Is the whole 12M length fed from one end?

Yes it is. You don't think it's too long a length do you?

Yes it is. You don't think it's too long a length do you?

If they work for a while then go off, It's going to be a driver problem. Can you add another driver at the other end ?
What voltage are the leds ?

Could be. See what others think though.
