12V vs 24V: Which voltage adaptor I should choose?


Have read all the info 3 times and am still at a loss to determine whether I have enough wattage (105) to power the 16 ft. strip. I understand I'll have a wattage need of 88. But I do not know a) whether the current to the shed, 20V, is sufficient, using an adaptor to get to 105 watts; and b) what adaptor I need to buy and whether I buy it from Waveform or elsewhere. 

I will use an adapter for connecting the strip to the power supply. This is for my art studio and the strip will be overhead. Will I need a channel? Or can I get away without one? The product number is 3003.3..or possibly #3004, the 24V. This is what I don't understand: what determines which one I choose? I want the 3000K version, and will also need PN 3071 connectors.

The aluminum channels can be very helpful for securely adhering the LED Strip Lights to mounting surfaces, while also providing the benefit of the diffusion cover.

We can also confirm that the product numbers of the CENTRIC HOME™ LED Strip Lights for Home & Residential adjust slightly based on the voltage and color temperature. For example, the 12V 3000K is PN3003.30, whereas the 24V 3000K is PN3004.30.

For the 24V 3000K model, we would recommend using the matching voltage 24V FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply for LED Strip (PN3092). 

We have attached several LayoutMap links below, which illustrate the various configuration options. These links contain installation descriptions, as well as links to each product within.

As you can tell from the above guides, the Centric Home LED Strip Lights will require the Female DC Barrel Jack Plug Adapter for connection to the power supply.
