Yes

Question

Which RGB controller and power adapter would you recommend to run and control a series of how many strips? - by Sury (Richmond, TX)

Answer

The variables are to high to figure for each. It depends on the length of strips, and output.

Question

i am trying to figure out how to connect the black wire from the adapter to the wire from the light. the wire from the light is silver and copper in order to identify which one is pos/neg, but the black wire from the adapter is not labeled. one wire just has white dashes along it. is that the pos or neg one? - by John

Answer

Silver is positive, and copper is negative.
The white dashed wire is positive, and the solid black is negative.

But it doesn't really matter. Nothing bad will happen if it is reversed.
Try it one way. If it doesn't light up, try it the other way and it will.

Question

what set up do you recommend for chromatherapy steam shower lighting?

Answer

For a waterproof application in a steam shower, I highly recommend our Surface Mount LED Bars which have a very low profile. They are very durable, and will hold up great in a humid environment. You can power them from one of our AC Adapters.

The healing power of color: Chromatherapy

Red: Stimulating and exciting. Activates circulation and wakes up the senses.

Orange: Soothing and pain-relieving. Stimulates the respiratory system and soothes muscular pain.

Yellow: Digestive and creative. Promotes digestion and increases brain activity.

Green: Calming and stabilizing. Relaxes the entire body and stabilizes emotions.

Blue: Relaxing and soothing. Reduces blood pressure and stress and soothes the soul.

Violet: Immunizing and appeasing. Stimulates the immune system, detoxifies the body, and reduces anxiety.

thanks

- by shaiq (Stockton, California)

Answer

We do not sell 60 foot long strips at this time.

However, you can buy 10 6ft strips and join them together by a power wire. No transformer need.

Question

Do you sell dimmers, are they in the transformers does it shorten the life of the led's - by Mark (Cato NY)

Answer

We do not sell Dimmers.

Question

im wanting either 2 of the 19'' or 2 of the 28" flexible strips and was wondering what AC Adapter would be best for them.

Answer

First, lets figure out the total amperage draw of your LEDs.

Suppose you are powering 16 feet of our LED Ribbon Strips which use 130 mA per foot.
Note: mA is an abbreviation for milliamps. There are 1000 milliamps in an amp, so 130 mA = .130 amps

--> 16 feet x .130 amps = 2.08 amps

While the 2 amp AC Adapter would work for this application (16 feet of LED Ribbon Strips), it would be at the limit of its capabilities.

The LEDs may not reach their full brightness potential, and the 2 amp AC Adapter may work harder than it should.

In this specific case, it would be better to go with the 3.25 amp AC Adapter.

Question
