Driver – do I need one?
The choice of driver depends on the power consumption of the LED strip you will use and how many meters you will connect.
Example: With an LED strip rated at 4 watts per meter and a length of 10 meters, the total power would be 4W/m * 10m = 40 watts. This is the minimum requirement, and we recommend adding a driver that is 20-30% more powerful.
Is there anything else I should consider regarding the choice of driver?
Yes. All LED strips require a driver, and you need to consider whether you want to:
- Dim the LED strip
- Install it outdoors or indoors
