How many power supplies do I need?
Many LED lighting systems are designed with one driver for each individual LED light in a 1:1 ratio. Strip light systems are wired differently due to the spread of lights over the length of the run. The number of power supplies needed will be based on the total wattage required to power the specific lights in your system.
Can I dim my lights with aspectLED power supplies?
Yes, you can! LED lighting systems can be dimmed on either the Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC) side of the system. The direction you choose depends on personal preferences, system goals, and design constraints.
AC-side Dimming: This is the most common approach for controlling brightness. It aligns with electrical systems found in most homes and commercial buildings, allowing control via standard wall switches. If this is your preferred method, ensure your system includes dimmable lights and dimmable power supplies.
DC-side Dimming: While less common, DC-side dimming is growing in popularity. It’s often controlled by handheld remotes or smartphone apps, providing more customization options. If designing a system with RGB color tuning, CCT color tuning, or addressable strip lights, you’ll need DC-side dimming. Additionally, DC-side systems are generally more energy-efficient.
Can I hardwire an LED power supply?
Some LED power supplies must be hardwired, but legality depends on your local electrical code. Consult local building inspectors for specifics related to your project.
Do I need a junction box for my power supply?
A junction box may be necessary to comply with local electrical code requirements. Check your local regulations.
Are your power supplies waterproof?
Most of our power supplies are rated IP65-67, making them suitable for outdoor use in protected, damp areas. However, they should never be submerged in water. Products rated IP20 are non-waterproof and should only be used indoors in dry areas.
Which voltage do I need to purchase?
Ensure the power supply voltage matches your installed lights. 12VDC is common for automotive or marine applications, while 24VDC is typical for indoor residential or commercial settings.
How do I know which size I need?
Use this simple equation: Watts per fixture x Number of lights installed = Z, then Z x 1.25 = Minimum size of power supply required.
Example 1: 9 Watts x 4 Fixtures = 36 Watts. 36 x 1.25 = 45. The minimum power supply needed is 45 watts.
Example 2: 16.4’ of N-series Ultra-bright Strip (2.92 Watts per foot): 16.4 x 2.92 = 47.88. 47.88 x 1.25 = 59.86. The minimum power supply size needed is 60 watts.
