Choose right LED power supply

Choose the right LED power supply

What is an LED power supply? How does it work?

By transforming 240-volt (mains) power to a lower voltage such as 24v or 12v, an LED power supply drives your LED installation. Connect your LED power supply between the mains supply and the LED product it will power.

LED drivers come in many shapes and sizes. Each can be used to power a different number of LEDs, depending on its specification (output wattage).

Each LED strip driver that we supply is built to work with our range of LED strip lights, and with other LED products as well as long as it matches the correct voltage and power.

A properly selected LED power supply is the base for the proper functioning of the LED lighting system. All LED strips and LED power supplies offered by Future House Store work at a constant voltage of 12V. To select the appropriate transformer you must first determine what is the power of light source (eg. LED strip) that you want to use.

Choose the right LED power supply

Correct kit composer (power supply + LED strip) in the table below:

POWER OF LED STRIPS / POWER OF LED POWER SUPPLY	300 LED 3528 (4,8W / m)	600 LED 3528 (9,6W / m)	300 LED 5050 (14,4W / m)	150 LED RGB (7.2W / m)	300 LED RGB (14,4W / m)
20W 12V DC	3.8 m	1.9 m	1.2 m	2.5 m	1.2 m
35W 12V DC	6.6 m	3.3 m	2.2 m	4.4 m	2.2 m
60W 12V DC	11.3 m	5.6 m	3.8 m	7.6 m	3.8 m
80W 12V DC	15.1 m	7.5 m	5.1 m	10.1 m	5.1 m
100W 12V DC	18.8 m	9.4 m	6.3 m	12.6 m	6.3 m
150W 12V DC	28.3 m	14.1 m	9.4 m	18.9 m	9.4 m
200W 12V DC	37.8 m	18.9 m	12.6 m	25.3 m	12.6 m

PLEASE NOTE! Running an LED strip driver at 100% capacity could possibly reduce its life, compared to running at around 90%. Many transformer manufacturers actually recommend running at no more than 80% of the transformer's capacity. Others recommend a slightly higher level, so the transformer is run efficiently at close to its maximum wattage.
