Hi, i am making 8 led light tubes. they consist of two led strips in each. Each strip has 80 leds which are 0.3w each.
The strips take 5v. My question is what are the specs needed from a psu to power all of the strips (16) with them running at full load? I want the full brightness possible.
I have a psu from a computer which says it has 12amps DC output on the 5v line. Would this be a seperate 12amps down each of the red 5v wires or spread across all of them? Thanks
