Will the LED strip continue to emit light as the voltage drops?
Will these continue to emit light as the voltage drops if I were to use an energizer A23 12V battery? It would only be one or 2 sections being powered. Or is that not even an option?
Generally speaking, the LED Strip Light products can continue to function so long as there is a minimum of 10V being provided to them. When less than 10V is available for the 12V realUV LED Strip Lights, they will have greatly reduced output, and may not have any visible output.
For reference, the 12V realUV™ LED Strip Lights require 4.5 watts and 400 mA per foot from the power supply. Unfortunately, the A23 12V battery does not appear to have sufficient milliamp-hours for stable power for the LED Strip Lights.
That being said, we have spoken to several other customers who have utilized larger 12V batteries to supply power for LED Strip Lights for installations on RVs, boats, and other portable installations.
