Can I power two LED Strips using one 24V Power Supply?

Can I power two of ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strip with your 24V FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply? I am currently using one of the LED strips with some other company's 12V power supply. I am also using Waveform's dimmer for the led strips. Have you tested using two 5m LED strips in 24V power supply at full power for prolonged periods? Are these LED strips/power supplies designed to be used at full power continuously for ~10hrs at a time for months on end?

Generally speaking, we recommend utilizing one power supply per full reel of LED strip lights, as the FilmGrade™ DC Power Supply is only able to support 120 W of power output.

As the ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strip requires 90 watts per 16.4 feet (at 5.5 watts per foot), using two reels with a single power supply would exceed the 120 watts of available output and is not recommended due to safety and operational concerns.

Further, please note that the ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strips have a maximum combined length of 16.4 feet. This means that the product is not designed to be connected and powered in lengths greater than one full reel.

Given the above, we would recommend utilizing an additional 12V power supply in order to prevent safety hazards and extend the life of the products. It might also be helpful to know that as these products are designed at the circuit level for specific voltages, using a 24V power supply with 12V products could potentially be unsafe and may void the product warranty.
