How to power/control the strip

#1 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.

#2 The length run in a string of strips in serial is suggested to be 5meter max, if too long, there is voltage drop will cause dim at the back end of the string.
