We need to consider where to put the LED strip light transformer when installation, so less drivers for led strip light to power will be better, and the cost is lower for the project. For 12V strips, it is usually recommended supplying power at least every 16.4ft (5 meters) because the voltage drop problem along the low voltage LED strip.

Firstly, the conductor track of the LED strip can only carry load with limitation, secondly, there is power loss due to the small cross section of the conductor. If the installation is not correct, the strip conductor track heats up and the brightness decreases at the end of the LED strip.

For 12V working voltage led strip, we will recommend connect at a length of 5 meters, it is easier to supply power from the midpoint for a 10 meters length, their current is split in 2 directions from middle.

For cool white or warm white LED strips, you can easily obtain power from multiple feed points if there are without the controllers. Just connecting a 5 meter or shorter length wire into the LED strip light power supply. Of course, under the case of RGB, RGBW strips with controllers, the wires must be distributed from the controller.

If the load exceed the output of the controller, you had to consider LED amplifiers.
