My 12watt led driver(12watt 260mA) got damaged.. I have purchased new driver which is 12watt 300mA… as 260mA driver was not available. So can i use that 12watt 300mA led driver instead of 260mA??

Can you comment on 5v strips via an LED socket?

[@hungchung2726]

Hello how many lengths LED strip would 36watts run perfectly? Or would 36watts perfect to run 204cm 5050 blue LED?

[@MHALI-qv9yc]

That would depend on type of led strip you go for and how much watts per metere it consumes since each have different power rating

[@hungchung2726]

@@MHALI-qv9yc OK Cool.

Can i just run the led strips straight to the 12v panel on my boat?

[@ramramalingam5035]

Can you do a similar one for LED lights connected in Series. I want to get a correct driver for my 18W light with 98 LEDs, connected in pairs (2 each in parrallel) and all pairs (49 pairs ) connected in series.

Very informative video. I have a fully functional light fixture which uses 220volt AC but now I am trying to move it and use it on a regular 110v AC supply. The light fixture has a lot of LED lights i.e. ten small LED lights and ten bigger LED lights all in series but I am confused with the inscription on the driver. The driver says Input: 180 - 265VAC and Output: 190 - 260VDC 240mA. I tested the driver on a 110vac outlet and it doesn't work because I think it is for 220vac supply. I think I would have to replace the driver with the right type for 110vac supply. I am not sure if there is any driver that can take 110vac and provide me with 220vdc output or am I reading something wrong. What do you think?

I have a 20 meter run around my through lounge, how many drivers and watt would I need, I want a CCT cob Led

[@shaidulhussain1745]

Also can anyone advise what type of profile is needed for a bend on a wall and if the led is being placed on a pic rail does it need a profile

Can I use say 2 12w led drivers in parallel for 24w if I didn't have a 24w one handy?

[@coreyevans9543]

This is very useful. What about the amperage, what role does that play? If you connected 2 strips of 12V, does that mean it needs to be 24V or does it remain as 12V but the wattage goes up?

[@anthonyvera8524]

Hello. I don't know the wattage of the LED strips. There are about five strips of five feet each. How many watts should I get the Driver if I don't know the wattage of the LED strips? is there a standard number you can give? It's for a closet, being used in the drawers. Please help!

[@coreyevans9543]

[@Kidderman2210]

Divide the power (in watts) by the voltage. e . g. 30 watts at 12 volts is 2.5 Amps. This will decide the rating of the wiring, connectors, etc.

[@chanman3388]

Been wondering, where does one physically place the driver? Are there regulations surrounding where they can be placed?

[@trillium_music]

These generally will come in led light fixtures. This will go in the oval or square that is mounted to the ceiling . It’s a pretty tight fit but the more powerful the fixture the more space they’ll leave for it.

[@chanman3388]

@@trillium_music I'm planning on building my own fixture, it's basically an led strip. It's going in a conservatory so the plan is to have the transformer in an enclosure on the wall, then have a length of 24V line to the strip, but I have no idea if this is legit or not.

[@trillium_music]

I’m not electrician But to my the best of my understanding as long as they are in a junction box and connected in there you should be fine. Here is channel that can help you research LEDs Chris Maher on KZbin has a lot of videos that I feel would be helpful for your project.. There is a video by a Channel called fix this build that and the title is: Watch this before buying LEDs 1.2M views · 7 months ago...more Fix This Build That He breaks down all different types of LEDs as different use cases.definitely worth the watch @@chanman3388

I left a reply just now with some info and some channels that will help your project, if you don’t see them by tomorrow let me know and I’ll reply again with it.

My mate installed one in a underwater pond and wondered why it wasn't lighting up.I told him to play the rust in peace album near the Pond and it might cure the issue.I had no idea he took it seriously because he invited me over and I tripped and fell into a goldfish pond on the way to his shed while loudly hearing five magics playing.I always wondered if it was karma.

I need an LED Driver for a fan with a light. The one I am replacing is 24-36W, AC85-265V 50/60HZ, DC 72-144V 260A. It has one connecting wire at one in and two at the other. Where can I purchase this?

[@Deborahwang-jp3yj]

We are the manufacturer of LED drivers,may i have your email number?

[@enocorecom]

Are you sure the output is 72-144V 260A??? So the wattage will be 18720W. It seems there is something wrong.

[@chrisfrancis8446]

Hell I can't find a replacement for my outdoor security light. 2 years working and then trash.

You just got yourself a customer

[@prehanramsamy6728]

Everyone here saying this a great video. Are you brain dead? This information is given on the packaging of the led strips. He explained nothing.
