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 a bit differently due to the spread of the lights over the length of the run. In each case, 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 will depend on personal preferences, system goals, and design constraints.
- AC-side Dimming: This is the most common approach for controlling the brightness of your lights. It aligns with the existing electrical systems common to most homes and commercial buildings today. The ability to control the system via standard wall switches is the primary benefit of these systems. If this sounds like the approach for you, make sure to design your system with dimmable lights/fixtures and dimmable power supplies.
- DC-side Dimming: While less common today, dimming on the DC side of the system is growing in popularity. In contrast to permanently installed wall switches, DC-side dimming is more often controlled by handheld remotes or smartphone applications. These controllers and apps usually allow more control and customization options. If you are designing a system with RGB color tuning, CCT color tuning, or addressable strip lights, you will need to plan for this type of dimming. Moreover, systems that dim on the DC side are generally more energy efficient.
Can I hardwire an LED power supply?
While some LED power supplies must be hardwired, whether it is legal or not depends on your local electrical code. Please consult with local building inspectors for specifics relating to your project location.
Do I need a junction box for my power supply?
To comply with local electrical code requirements, a junction box for your power supply may be necessary.
Are your power supplies waterproof?
Most of our power supplies are rated IP65-67, so they can withstand being outdoors in protected and damp areas, but they should NEVER be submerged in water. Products rated IP20 are non-waterproof and should only be used in dry areas indoors.
Which voltage do I need to purchase?
Ensure the power supply voltage matches that of the installed lights. 12VDC is commonly used with a 12-volt battery for automotive/marine applications, while 24VDC is prevalent in 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 for this circuit is a 45-watt power supply.
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 a 60-watt power supply.
