Outdoor LED strip lights - 44 Metre run

[SteWal]

Hi all, I'm looking to tap into all the experience out there relating to the installation of outdoor LED strip lighting. I have a customer who would like this fitted under a capping stone on a low wall that surrounds his lawn and searching the web there are obviously many companies who can supply the materials although not that many who can do a continuous length of 44 metres.

At this stage it could be LV or ELV.

Can anyone recommend a good source of supply?

Thanks in advance.

Steve.

It is unlikely you will be able to do 44m in one go, due to current draw, volt drop and so on it will likely need to be wired in several smaller sections.

Are you aware of the differences between LV and ELV?

Ansell do a 50m continuous length, no driver required.

44 metres is a large run, as mentioned above you will need to break it down into smaller section, as mentioned above, even If you had a large driver the voltdrop through the circuit board in the strip would cause the LED to dull.

Outside I would recommend a 24v IP68 strip, if your using RGB or RGBW then the best way is to use a DMX switch which you can feed multiple amplifiers from. Each amplifier has its own driver so you can create a long run of colour changing strip controlled from one switch.

You could go for a 220 AC led strip but it's like a lump if 6mm T&E and I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be installing it outside.
