New to LED strip lights, need help please.

Post by pittler »

I have a small project that I would like to install some analog LED flexible strip lights to. I have a dais in my home theater and would like to add some LED strips to the underside edge of it for ambient lighting. The total length of LED strips that I would need is right at 24 feet long. I was planning on using Ada's RGB 30 LED strips with one of the the touch controllers. I am not sure if the touch controller would work for the length of LED's. Also, I am unsure as to what amperage of power supply I would need for 24 linear feet. I would like to add in a motion sensor at a later time to turn on the LED's when someone walks into the room. Can someone please help me choose the proper components for my setup? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Either touch controller will handle 24 feet (~7.5m). The 12V5A adapter should be enough for that length of the 30 pixel/m strips.
