Yep.

For example this 24V 5A power supply should help.

Edit, sorry you mentioned the battery. You could get a proper 24V battery, or hook up two 12V batteries in series to get the 24V.

oh its rgbCCT nice!

psu :

those chug120W / 5 amps of current so 24v/5amps like this should do the trick

unless you need the full 16ft in a single installation I wouldn't worry too much about the psu.

you could probably get away with 24v/4 amps since you probably won't be using all 5 lines at full power.

you _might_ get some coil whine because of harmonic resonance or something caused by the pwm signal altering the power consumption several thousand times per second. but if it's not going to be 2 ft away from you, meh.

controller:

the quinled-An-penta sounds awesome if you can find it. they pack a lot of current capability. they also have pretty smooth camera-worthy pwm.
I haven't used the btf controllersbut I can't imagine they're bad.

I, myself, am partial to these, obviously. They're great strips and function well with the controller. They're RGBCCT.

You'd need a 24v, 5a power supply. I've used this one and it works well.

there's no kits because there are so many variables in what youcan do. Length of strip, voltage, waterproof or non, rgbcct, single color, etc.

Hey bud, thanks for checking out my strips. You'll love them. Lol.

For power, 24v, 8a would be fine for 10 meters, or two strips. Did you need to go to 12M?

I really wouldn't drive more than 10M through the controller without using an amplifierif it was in series or a second controller if you need parallel. You have to keep the amperage down as it runs through the controller to keep it from burning up.

Your calculations are correct, but the thing to keep in mind is that the 20w per meter is with all LED's on full brightness. That's the red, green, blue, cold white and warm white all on maximum. You can't do that with a 1ID controller and really wouldn't have much need to do that with a 2ID controller. Since you can't have them all on at the same time, you will never pull the full 4a per strip. So an 8a PS will give you enough of a buffer. You don't want to push a PS over 80% capacity.

For brands of PS, MeanWell always gets reviewed positively, and I use Alotive. I've used three of these in my house and have no issues with them. No overheating, no whining, no surges or dropouts. They're good. But I only use it on a 5M strip.

As far as the splitter, save your money on those. The end of the strip has about 6 inches of wire to go into the controller and that can be lengthened with some RGBCCT wire. Then all you have t do is tap into those wires for the second strip. Lots of flexibility on how you want to run them then. And super easy to do with T taps. If you want, send me an email with what you're looking to do and I can help you plan it out and tell you what you need to get it done. [Info@K2HomeTech.com](mailto:Info@K2HomeTech.com). Running them in series or parallel will really depend on what you want to do with them and where. Series is the easiest, but parallel isn't bad either. And welcome!
