Do I need to order three power supplies to operate three (5m) LED strips separately?
I am building a UV varnish curing cabinet for stringed instruments and would like to rig up 3x5m strips of your 365nm realUV reels. Does this mean that I need to order 3 separate power supplies to power each reel or is there a more powerful option that would power all three? It would be a plug-in setup.
Generally speaking, we recommend utilizing one dedicated power supply per 5-meter reel of LED Strip Lights due to the available wattage of each supply. Where each 12V power supply can provide 120 watts, each of the 365nm realUV™ LED Strip Light reels would require roughly 90.2 watts.
While we do not have a more powerful DC option than the 12V FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply for LED Strip, you may be able to locate a higher-capacity power supply locally. Our power supplies have a limited output defined by domestic electrical class ratings, though those ratings and regulations may be different internationally.
