How to power/control the strip

When choosing the transformer, the wattage to choose depends on how many pieces light strips it power.And when choosing the transformer, we suggest to use a bigger wattage transformer than the strip rated power to ?avoid full load working of the transformer.?And a big power transformer do no harm to the strip but good for safty.

Below please find the connection diagram for?Single Color Light Strip?for reference.

Direct Powered by Transformer Run to AC Wall Outlet, On/Off controlled by a Wall Switch

Light strip On/Off/Brightness is controlled by ?Dimmer (Wireless or Hardwire Type available)

#1 Typical connection for one Dimmer to control one string of light bars

#2 One Dimmer to control several strings of light bars by adding Amplifier, and powered by one or several transformers. Note: The strips the Dimmer and Amplifer loaded with cannot exceed their rated max value. And in theory, you can add endless Amplifiers after the Dimmer.
