Frequently asked questions

What is the required voltage for power supply?
The LED strip requires 12V.

Can I use a 5V power supply?
No, the power supply requires 12V. Check the datasheet.

How many LEDs are there in a strip?
There are 60 LEDs/m.

Can I use the power supply directly without a regulator?
It is not recommended. Use a regulator to adjust the voltage.
