Strip #1: 6000K Strip #2: 3 blue : 1 red The dimensions are off (i.e. not 5000mm). The supplier is the one you posted (Shenzhen Coxo).

So, let me get this straight: if I cut at the cut-line and add a wire, it will become series? If I don't cut, it is parallel? I'm lost here. I thought this entire strip from 0 to 5.4m was in series if uncut. 60 LED's / meter. 20 segments / meter. 3 LED's / segment. Point to note, After 10...

Yes, the strip can be clipped at every 5cm. I requested a 5.4 meter roll (they usually sell in multiples of 5m). In my setup, I required 6x strings, each 900mm. The original plan was to wire in series, but later findings put me in doubt. Parallel might be easier. I just don't know how...

I understand that bit. But I'm not sure what the setup would look like in parallel, how to wire in parallel, or what volts and current to supply. Pretty much, I don't understand the difference between the two or how the circuit is affected. This probably sounds embarrassing from a technical pov...

The strip is 5.4 meters, 18W/m. Total strip is 97.2W. 12 volts. The manufacturer said to use a 120W supply, 12v 10a, if series. I'm not a very technical guy when it comes to electrical stuff. I learned about parallel circuits in highschool (11 years ago), something about how volts or amps are...

Is it okay to run an entire 5 meter strip in series on one driver? I saw on some manufacturer's video they said not to run high current on such lengths. Any truth behind this or alternative? The strip is 18W/m.

And how would you encapsulate a lower rating PSU? Or how would you mount/use a lower rated PSU to ensure it is protected from dust/water? How do people normally use these (dust us everywhere)?

^^ Yes. What do you mean?

I don't know if this is appropriate thread for general q&a... What is the correct way to encapsulate and mount a power supply unit that doesn't have a good IP rating (i.e. is unprotected from water & dust ingress)? http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_228227_1.jpg How do people normally use...

Thanks for all the input. I'm going through all the options but I'm still wondering if the amazon charger will do the job? The reason why I keep looking at it is because it's cheap, waterproof, and on amazon prime I get it shipped for free in a day. Many of the alternatives posted don't have...

Thanks. Will 12V at 16 amps work fine? I was about to buy from here until I read the seller's reviews. Thought about getting it from what CobKits posted but they won't order unless I buy $100 worth. Maybe I will have to rearrange my setup to use a more readily available driver.

Well I cant find any constant voltage drivers at 120W that don't cost more than $90.

I have an LED strip at roughly 97.2W and the manufacturer recommends using a constant voltage 120W power supply rated at 12V 10A. I know usually the driver is constant current but I'm just gonna wing it cuz I'm short on time. This is an experimental project. Anyways, I can't get the appropriate...

Only real way to prove it is to witness it. If not, there are probably more than one type of car with those characteristics and impossible to differentiate them. Can be a duo of bikers or somebody artificially implanting it. Availability heuristics is a type of cognitive bias that tends to skew...

^^ Actually, science is still mostly theory. You are judging science by some advocates who've probably never studied any science beyond high-school. Let me also add one of the core principles of scientific methodology that differentiates it from pseudoscience: science is based on evidence NOT...

You can twist words all you want but you haven't refuted either one of my assertions. Posted one year ago. Like I said, bring verifiable sources from verifiable authors not somebody who identifies himself with a Hotmail username.

First off, fitness is defined by the biological ability to reproduce, not reproduction itself. Your idea of fitness is paradoxical - i.e. the survivor is the most fit; if the least able of the individuals is the only one to reproduce then that least able individual is the fittest - this is a...

^^ Cree cobs are more expensive as far as I've seen, much more than 15-20%. If not, can you share some insight anyway?

There are dozens of natural somatic chemicals that bind the cannabinoid receptors, excluding THC. A psychiatrist may be a good option.

You don't need equations for anything to be a law. Here is a law without equations: *All life is made of cells. I think you may also be misinterpreting what I said: it is bad science when people treat theories as laws. And this is very common today.
