LED Light Strip power requirements are based on several factors, including the light strip layout and the length limitations of 

light strip-type lighting. Refer to the guide below for choosing a power supply. It is recommended to choose a power supply

option in excess of your needs, since LED Light Strips cannot be overloaded. UL Listed Class 2 power supply required. 

your connection wires. A leg can be a single LED strip or series of strips connected end-to-end. 

Calculate the wattage for each leg by multiplying watts per foot by the length of LED lighting in the leg. Include only the 

lengths of LED tape in your calculation, not the connecting wires. Add each leg’s wattage requirement together, and referring 

to the chart below, determine the total watts needed to power your array and select the appropriate power supply.

Cutting, Connecting and Wiring

LED Light Strips can be cut in  5cm lengths, each containing 3 LEDs. Lengths are marked at cutting intervals by lines lying 

between sets of soldering points, as indicated in the illustration below.
