Can I run a 24V LED Strip with 25.2V-29.4V lithium battery?
I am trying to source some LED strips and a controller that can run on a "24v" lithium battery power system, with an actual nominal voltage of 25.2v, and a charge voltage of up to 29.4v. (I can lower it to 28.8, if necessary). I also plan on doing photography and video in the space, so a decent CRI and low-flicker operation would be great. I largely need a tungsten white and a red, but some kind of RBGW would be pretty awesome if possible. No DMX; simpler is better. 110v is only occasionally available.
As our LED strip lights (both the 12V and 24V products) are designed with specific voltage in mind, connected power sources that exceed the voltage will cause damage to the product hardware, could incur electrical risks, and will void the product warranty.
As such, we would likely recommend implementing a voltage regulator, if possible, for your 24V battery installation.
Based on the details provided, we would recommend the 24V FilmGrade™ FiveSpect 5-in-1 LED Strip Lights, as they contain both tungsten 3200K LEDs, as well as RGB output. That said, please be advised that the product is currently out of stock, with an expected availability date of May 10th.
Further, we would recommend checking for compatibility between the FiveSpect and the controller of choice, to ensure that the individual colors can be adjusted to your preference.
Is there any documentation on your lighting products that do give an allowable forward voltage rating? I'm an engineer, and always find it helpful to know the boundaries between nominal and actual to help make design decisions.
We can confirm that the maximum allowable and nominal voltage levels are 12V and 24V, respectively.
As such, we, unfortunately, do not have any documentation available for how our products would perform when supplied with a voltage that exceeds the maximum allowed by design.
