Can I run two LED strips in one power supply?

I have a plan for putting in some of your LED strips in my kitchen. I need only 24 inches in one section that is right by a dimmer switch in the wall. Then I'd like to run a length of in-wall cable to another section of lights across the room, to be run by the same switch. If the total length of strips is less than 16ft, can I run them off the same 24v TRIAC dimmer source?

We are happy to confirm that so long as the maximum combined length of LED Strip Lights is less than 16.4 ft, the two segments of lights can be powered by a single TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply. 

You might encounter a small amount of voltage drop depending on the expanse between the connected strip lights, which can be calculated using the below calculator from our website. Voltage drop can often be minimized by utilizing the proper gauge of wire. 

We have also attached a LayoutMap from our website below for a configuration utilizing connected light segments, in the hopes that it proves to be useful for your installation planning.
