2835 LED - 120LEDs per meter

hi bravobb,
how do we determine what ampherage to use for the strips?

cheers

from my knowledge 3528/5050 are lower powered (thus they remain VERY COOL while running)
and the 2835/3014/5630 are higher driven and IMO RUN MUCH HOTTER


here is some basic rule of thumb info
SMD 5050 0.2W each, SMD 3258 0.06W each, SMD 3014 0.01W, SMD 5630, 0.5W each.
