Is it possible to hook up the LED strips to the main power source rather than the power supply box/cord?
My gym purchased the red 630nm LED strips years ago and loves them! We are in the process of building out a new facility and have a few questions about the LED strips. We would love to fit the facility with the daylight strips and red light strips but am curious about a few things. Is it possible to hook up the strips to the main power source rather than the power supply box/cord yall sell? The second question is, can strips that are already mounted be repurposed? Third question, if not to the second question do yall buy back LED strips and re-purpose them?
As the LED technology requires direct voltage, power supplies are required for connection in AC ground voltage for operation. As such, they would require a power supply for conversion to DC for functionality.
For reference, our TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply has an input voltage of 100-277V AC, which is converted to 12V or 24V DC to provide appropriate voltage to the LED Strip Light products.
We have not encountered installations where the LED Strip Lights are removed and re-adhered to the channels or mounting surfaces, though it does appear that 3M sells double-sided 10mm adhesive tape, which could potentially be used for repurposing the lights.
As a final note, we, unfortunately, do not have any such program for buying back and repurposing our products. We do sincerely apologize for any impact this might have on your purchasing plans.
