Quick question on a makeshift light fixture.
I plan on using some led strip to make a light fixture or my daughter, here are the specs on the strip:
•Working Input Voltage: 12VDC
•Working Current/meter: 0.6A
•Output power: 36W /5 Meter
I plan on using an RF LED RGB controller for control of the light (she can make it whatever color she wants and change intensity, but no way to limit intensity).
The controller is rated for an input of 12-24V DC and outputs 12V with a max of 6A*3 channels. rated output us less than 5A/channel so will keep under that. I am going to use a laptop power supply that is 18V and rated for 6 amps.
Taking this all into consideration, I would guess that 8 meters would be my limit? Or should I go lower in the case using white? I just want to be safe (haven't started designing the fixture yet).
Thanks
