Hi everyone,
I recently purchased two 5-meter LED strips from AliExpress featuring WS2815 LEDs (30 LEDs per meter, DC12V, IP65 rated). I’m using an LS8P as the controller for these strips, but I’m now in need of a proper power supply to complete the setup.
I live in Germany and would appreciate recommendations for a reliable power supply. Has anyone had experience with a particular model or brand that pairs well with the LS8P and WS2815 LED strips?
For reference, here’s the link to the LED strips I bought:AliExpress LED Strips
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!
I have six of these in various places around my house. Been using them for a few years. The power for the LEDs goes directly to the LED strips. Google "how to wire LED strips".
The math is pretty simple. 2X5X30 = 300 LEDs.
When all lights are 100% white, the current may be as much as 60mA each, so 300 LEDs X.06 Amps = 18 Amps total. So, to accommodate wire and connector resistance, buy a 20 Amp PSU.
Don't forget to run +12V and ground to both ends of the LED strips.
About $15 USD at Ali Express.
