Still, I tend to design all my setups in such a way that if I do need full brightness it is at least possible, maybe with a bit of extra voltage drop but that it never turns into a dangerous situation and while also making sure any fault scenarios (short circuit, etc.) are caught and dealt with (fuse for instance) without it turning into a disaster (fire, etc.). Now I realize you won’t be running your LED strips set to full brightness most of the time (or ever really with very high power versions), that’s why you’re using an Analog LED dimmer or Digital LED controller. In this video I show a very clear example of voltage drop on 12v LED strips and how multiple injections help the LEDs run correctly and shine at the brightness they should be, it makes a *BIG* difference! This works the same for analog LED strip or Digital LED strip/string! With digital LEDs it can also cause many more issues then just LEDs that shine less bright!Īll calculations made are designed for the worst case scenario which is full brightness. For each of my Analog dimmer or Digital controller boards I have diagram which wires to connect where, but what wire size you need can still be confusing.įirst off, let’s set the general rule we are using copper cables and not something else like CCA speaker wire! These cannot carry the same amount of current and can be dangerous to use (copper speaker wire can be ok).įor Digital LEDs I recommend using the LED Power Usage Sheet combined with the method shown in this livestream!Ĭheck out this video (jump links in the description) next to possibly being dangerous (when you don’t use the correct size wires) it can also cause all kinds of problems in your setup from dim, wrong color or flickering LEDs.

When hooking up LED strip or string it can be hard to figure out what kind of wires you need to use.
