LED power supply and how to choose the right one.
Choosing the right power supply for LED strip lighting can be a bit trickier than you’d expect.
Factors such as wattage and dimmability play key roles in the selection process, and oftentimes, there is more than one power supply that will work for your particular project.
There’s nothing worse than ordering something online and then realizing you don’t have the parts needed to make it work.
This article aims to give you all of the information necessary to feel confident that you have what’s needed to power your LED strip lights before you purchase them from Zeepad Group.
What is the function of an LED power supply?
Let’s start with the basics.
The function of a power supply is to provide the correct amount of electrical current to electronics so that they work like they are supposed to and don’t overheat or fail prematurely.
Whether it’s your cell phone, laptop, or in this case, LED strip lights, you’ll need something to take the 120 volts of alternating current (AC) from your wall outlet and convert it into a lower voltage of direct current (DC) that your LED strips (or other electronics) require to run.
Think of trying to fill up a water balloon with a fire hose: too much water flowing too quickly—pop! The power supply regulates the flow of current to your strip to ensure optimal functionality.
Factors to consider when selecting a power supply:
1) Power consumption
2) Voltage
3) Dimmability
