LED Strip - Connecting the LED Power Supply and LED Dimmer

is that legal??? i cant mount that in a customers house with 110 volts exposed like that can i????

Why did you hook up the ground, then bypassed it when you plugged it in the outlet? Also the first wires you hooked up it seems to me you made white _ and black +

Hi i have a switching power supply 12v 30a (360w) if i adjut it at 10v will it be able to supply 36a? For more info when i ask it to much amp (on 12v) the voltage drop to have a maximum power of 360w. Thanks. So, to resume if i adjust it at 10v will it be able to supply 36 amps ?

Thanks a lot. This is a very straightforward, no-nonsense tutorial.

Can i use this power supply in a school bus for powering my led strips

Thank you so much, this was a big big help!

towards the end of the video the plastic cover is open and the idiot almost touches the hot wire terminals. SAFETY FIRST IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE SAFE DONT MAKE VIDEOS!

Nice demo.

Can we connect directly from the NM90 cables in the wall?

Very good demonstration. I have a switching power supply that has to see a load b4 i can get an output, but i cant get it to work. Please help.

your ground wire is worthless using extension cord  LOL but nice video

I wonder if this supply will work with a ham radio amplifier...my amplifier draws 10-12 amps when the mic is keyed, so temporary loads.. I ordered a 12v 20amp one for $20 so if it dont work I wont be out alot...

indian english :)

I bought 5 power supplies off eBay for $20.00 each with free shipping from Hong Kong, they are called "SUPERNIGHT 12V DC 30A 360W Regulated Switching Power Supply" and all 5 of them work fine, the only problem I am having is with the thermostats and fans, I can't get the power supplies to run quietly, the fans are always running?

Even without drawing a single watt load, the fans run at full-speed no matter what?!  I was told cooling fans on LED power supplies are only supposed to activate when the units start getting hot or reaching maximum load (360 watts), but these are running full-max fan speeds at COLD-START/ZERO LOAD?!?  Can anyone tell me why these units might need to have fans running at max speed ALL THE TIME?  The air coming out of them is cold, and the constant fans running at full-speed makes them super, super noisy!

Does anyone know if the 'fans-always-on' issue can be fixed on any power supply?  I am running our office LED lighting system from these power supplies, the load is nowhere near 360 watts (more like 120 watts!) but the fans are running at full speed, even without anything plugged into them!!  Kinda defeats the purpose if the power supplies are this loud, they are basically unusable in an office environment. I asked all these questions to the eBay seller from Hong Kong, but after I left positive feedback, they never bothered to answer a single question. :(

In your video you said you didn't follow the colors for wiring the dimmer but rather looked at the connections and matched them. However you actually did follow the colors and this should always be done when wiring anything for 110V or 220V. It's a safety issues because those colors are standard in this country for residential and commercial wiring. You don't want anyone to get hurt or catch something on fire because you used the wrong color in the wrong place. The problem is most of us associate black wires with ground wires. However in a 110V home electrical system Black should be your positive/hot wire. White is "Neutral"/negative. Green is ground. "Neutral and ground are kind of the same thing. In a 220V system both black and white are positive/hot wires and green is still negative. On a 12V system black is typically negative/ground and red is typically positive/hot. This is not always the case though. But if you only have two wires and one is red and one is black it's more than likely that way.

with this power supply is the source amperage divided between the two outputs or do they both have equal current supply? If you hook up two light strips to the power supply and one has a bad connection or burns out will the other see the rest of the total current output of the supply getting double the current? Thanks

Great Video..Thanks ! Think I'll buy my supplies from you next time !
