Recommended Power Supply and LED Dimmer to run a 100ft LED Strip

Have 100' run and looking for suggestions on the power supply and dimmer

If you would like to tell us more about the power draw per foot of the LED strip lights currently being used, we would be happy to provide some dimmer and power supply product recommendations.

In the interim, it might also be helpful to know that our LED strip light products have a maximum combined length which is determined by the hardware. For our 12V LED strip light products, this maximum length is 16.4 ft (5 meters).

For the 24V LED Strip Light products, the combined length is 32.8 ft (10 meters). As our LED strip light products cannot support being powered in lengths greater than the above, we would not recommend installations that exceed these lengths.

I was considering using the film grade 5600

To install a 100 ft length of the 5600K FilmGrade™ WHITE LED Strip Lights we would recommend utilizing the 24V version as it can accommodate larger combined lengths than the 12V version.

As previously mentioned, the 24V FilmGrade™ WHITE LED Strip Lights have a maximum combined length of 32.8 ft. This means that a single power supply cannot power any combined length of the product which is longer than 32.8 ft, as the physical hardware and wiring of the LED strip lights are unable to support it.

As our FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply for LED Strip product can output a maximum of 120W, it would not be able to power any LED lengths greater than 16.4 feet. As such, we recommend utilizing a power supply with a higher output such as 240W.

As the dimmers that we sell are installed between the power supply and the product, we would recommend a dedicated FilmGrade™ Flicker-Free LED Dimmer for each connected length.

It might also be helpful to know that this installation could encounter a voltage drop if it utilizes long lengths of wiring to connect the products. To calculate the voltage drop and recommended wiring, you might find value in the voltage drop calculator tool on our website.

The below diagrams feature information regarding the installation of the FilmGrade™ WHITE LED Strip Lights and provide links to the recommended accessories.
