I have the following lights and am just wanting to check my calculations for how much power they will use and what power supply I will need.
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6008549881.html. These lights are 12 v
According to the website they use 0.30 watts per light so for every string of 100 they will use 3.0 watts. If I use a 600watt power supply @80% load this gives me 480 watts of usable power. In other words I should be able to run around 160 strings (with suitable power injection) from the one power supply.
This seems like a huge amount of lights from the 1 p/s but I would like someone to please confirm this as power is not a strong point for me. I think I followed the formula in the 101 manual but maybe I stuffed up somewhere.
Many thanks
