LED power supply. The appropriate power supply for an LED strip is calculated by multiplying its consumption in Watt per meter with its length. However, it is recommended to purchase a power supply that supports an additional 20% of the required energy in order not to work at its limits. In this case, the power supply of the product is 1000 Watt, which means it has the ability to power, for example, a 5-meter LED strip with power consumption of 160 Watt per meter.
