Power supply + cables + connectors needed for ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Linear Module

I am interested in buying some ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Linear Module to build a custom lightbox for "scanning" film strips with a digital camera. I am not 100% clear about all the items needed to make this work. I believe I would need the following: - ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Linear Module themselves - FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply for LED Strip. 

What type of cables are required to connect the WAGO 2060 connectors between each other to chain LED linear modules? 

What connecter is needed to connect the output of the Filmgrade DC power supply to the first LED linear module in the chain? 3. I intend to build an array of 15 strips (3 packs of 5). 

How many power supplies do you recommend I use in such a case to avoid overloading the power supplies? 

Based on the details provided, we believe that the below guide should contain answers to each of the provided questions. Within the guide, you will find links to each referenced product page, as well as detailed assembly instructions. 

Assembly Instructions For LED Modules

Additionally, as one 24V 120W power supply should be sufficient for installations that utilize fewer than 14 LED Modules (which draw 8.4W per unit), we would recommend utilizing an additional power supply for your installation of 15 modules. 

Further, please note that the LED Modules have a maximum run of 10 daisy-chained units. Installations that utilize additional connected units will likely encounter diminished lumen output. 

I am planning to use the led strips to build a custom lightbox that I will use to scan large-format film sheets.

I would like to know what the ideal distance between the LED and the diffusing plate should be to maximize the uniformity of light intensity. You should be able to determine this by knowing the light intensity distribution as a function of the angle away from vertical and knowing the distance between the LED strips.

We have provided a link for an article from our Knowledge Base below. Within this article, you will find information regarding the LED strip light beam angle, as well as recommendations regarding the calculation of the spacing between the LED lights and the subject. 

​Though originally written for our ultraviolet products rather than for our Absolute Series LED strip lights, as both have an identical 120-degree beam angle, we believe that the information within the article could be helpful for your installation planning.
