LED Strip Configurations for Office Lighting
I want to light my office with this LED strip:
ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strip
Is it possible to connect more than one strip to this power supply?
The office is 8' x 8' and I want to build a soffit near the ceiling. I intend to line the inside of the soffit with these strips with the lights facing out into the room. I need 2x 16' strips to make it around the room. I want to use the film-grade dimmer (I have one).
We typically recommend utilizing one power supply per 16.4 ft (5 meters) reel of LED strip light products, as the power supplies would not be able to afford sufficient power for more than one reel.
As a further consideration, the LED strip lights have a maximum combined length (defined by the hardware) of 16.4 feet. As such, powering additional lengths can lead to performance issues.
Due to this, your installation might benefit from using a second dimmer, or alternatively utilizing a single in-wall dimmer and in-wall power supplies such as the TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply for LED Strip.
We have attached a link to a layout diagram below, which we hope proves to be helpful for your installation planning. This page also contains installation suggestions and links to the recommended accessories.

So, each 16' strip would require one in-wall power supply and an in-wall dimmer?
So my setup would look like this:
(2) 16' LED strip
(2) In-wall power supply
(1) In-wall dimmer
Can you recommend a good dimmer? Will the dimming be as good and variable as the 'film-grade dimmer?
We can confirm that each reel would require a dedicated power supply. I can further confirm that the TRIAC dimmable power supply is compatible with forward-phase, ELV/reverse-phase, and MLV dimmers.
