AC vs DC power: Which is better for LED Strip?

American green lights have very similar specs on their 95 CRI LED strips, with the exception, theirs are AC power and Wave form are DC. AGL says AC power is better on for the strips and adds life, among other things. Is this a true or falses statement? Looking at your (WFL) power supplies, I don't see one that can hook up to more than 16ft, ie one power supply for 32 or 64 continuous feet. 

Though we are not aware of the technical specifications of American Green Light’s products, we can confirm that our LED strip light products operate with DC power. 

We can also confirm that as each reel of our 24V LED strip lights utilize 90W of power, a 32ft run of the product would require 180W. Though this is higher than our own power supplies can offer, there are third-party power supplies available elsewhere that can offer a higher output. We have attached a power supply guide below in the hopes that it proves to be useful for your purchase planning.

If you would like to share some additional details about the shop space with us, we would be happy to recommend a few products. In the interim, by using our lumen estimation calculator, it appears that the 120x20 space would be fully illuminated by 143 ft of LED strip lights (or nine 16.4 ft reels of product). 

For your shop installation, we would recommend the 24V 5000K CENTRIC DAYLIGHT™ LED Strip Lights for Commercial & Retail, as the 5000K temperature is most recommended for shops and industrial purposes.
