LED strips are widely used in our daily life. But some of clients will ask, “How do I work out what power source for led strip lights I need for my LED strip?” That is not that difficult to do. Because led strip and power supply require a constant DC of 12v or 24v, power supply for led strip lights are required in all LED systems.

First of all, you need to check the data sheet of the LED strip you are ready to use. Secondly, you should to work out the length of strip that you are going to use in meters and multiply this number by the number of Watts used per meter. What is more, using about 80% of the rated load of the power supply is recommended.

If you are using more than one dimmable power supply to power multiple LED strips, then the load on each driver must be matched as closely as possible to each other in order to keep the dimming synchronised.
