LED Strip Light Power Supply - Hard Wired (Dimmable)

These 24V TRIAC Dimmable power supplies work with linear LED ribbon strip or other constant voltage LED luminaires, suitable for indoor use only.

A 20% buffer is recommended when calculating your required power supply wattage to avoid overloading.

Here's how to calculate the correct power supply wattage for your COB LED installation:

Basic Formula: Total Watts Needed = (Watts per meter × Total meters) × Safety Factor

Step-by-Step Calculation:

1. Determine your total length
   • Measure how many meters of COB strip you'll be installing
2. Calculate base power requirement
   • Multiply: watts per meter × total meters
   • Example: 9W/m × 5 meters = 45 watts
3. Add safety margin (20-30%)
   • Multiply your base requirement by 1.2 
   • Example: 45W × 1.25 = 56.25 watts
   • Round up to next available power supply size

What is an I.P Rating

IP ratings tell you how well protected your power supply is against dust and moisture - crucial for choosing the right unit for your installation location.

IP Rating Breakdown: The two digits after "IP" indicate protection levels:

• First digit = dust protection (0-6 scale)
• Second digit = water protection (0-8 scale)

IP20 Power Supplies:

• 2 = Protected against objects larger than 12mm (like fingers)
• 0 = NO water protection whatsoever

Best for: Indoor use only in completely dry locations

• Inside cabinets, closets, electrical panels
• Residential indoor installations
• Office environments
• Anywhere moisture will never be present

IP67 Power Supplies: 

• 6 = Completely dust-tight
• 7 = Protected against water immersion up to 1 meter deep

Best for: Outdoor and wet location installations

• Exterior building lighting
• Pool/spa areas
• Bathrooms and kitchens
• Basement installations
• Marine applications
• Any location with potential moisture exposure

Key Differences:

IP20:

• Lower cost
• Better heat dissipation (ventilated)
• Smaller, more compact
• Must be installed in protected locations

IP67:

• Higher cost
• Sealed units (may run warmer)
• Larger/bulkier due to weatherproof housing
• Can handle rain, splashing, temporary submersion

Choosing the Right One:

• Always use IP67 if there's ANY chance of moisture contact
• IP20 is fine for completely dry, indoor-only installations
• When in doubt, go IP67 - better safe than dealing with failed power supplies
