Hi - sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but i cant seem to find the answer.
I have an LED Strip and a smart controller. I need a power supply, and am struggling to figure out which one. This strip is the first of many I plan to install - i just need to get my head around it all then will order the right kit. The strip will need to be dimmed, and occasionally change colour, but mostly will be set to white at various dimmed levels.
Strip details:
RGBCCT, IP65 Waterproof, 5m, 50/50, 60/m (Buy Products Online from China Wholesalers at Aliexpress.com - https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0o.9042647.6.2.108c4c4dHeIZtl&orderId=8142950763190204&productId=1005003132755665)
Controller details:
RGB+CCT Zigbee 3.0 FUT039Z (15.22€ 26% de réduction|Contrôleur Led FUT035Z FUT036Z FUT037Z FUT038Z FUT039Z, contrôleur pour bande LED RGB RGBW blanc double couleur DC12 24V + CCT | AliExpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003358338187.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.29e24c4deCSpNR)
For the power supply, a couple of questions:
- because I am using the Zigbee controller, it doesnt matter whether the power supply is dimmable - is this true? Do I need a dimmable supply?
- Strip is 12v, 5m, 8.64w/m, so total consumption incl. 20% headroom is 54w. Can I get a 12v 150w power supply like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/REYLAX®-Sw...v&qid=1641646640&sprefix=,aps,56&sr=8-11&th=1
Or should it be as close to 54w as possible (i.e. a 60w supply)
- If i put another strip in the same location, can I run them both from the same power supply? (another 12v, 5m, 54w strip)
