1. LED Strip Power Consumption and Voltage Considerations

LED strips typically require a DC power supply, commonly at voltages of 24V, 12V, or 5V. Higher voltage strips are advantageous as they draw lower current, reducing voltage drop. However, it's crucial to consider your LED strips' specific power requirements to select the appropriate wire gauge and power supply.

LED strip power consumption varies based on factors like length and brightness. Consulting the manufacturer's specifications for maximum power or current per module is recommended. Alternatively, measuring power consumption with a sample strip can provide accurate results.

2. Reducing Voltage Drop and Ensuring Optimal Performance

To mitigate voltage drop and ensure adequate voltage for the LED modules, consider these strategies:

Increase the power supply voltage to counter cable and LED strip voltage drops.

Use thicker cables to minimize resistance and voltage drop.

Divide long strips into shorter segments and power them in parallel to reduce voltage drop.

Implement power injection by adding extra cables to supply power at various points along the LED strip, reducing voltage drop significantly.

Choose the strategy that best suits your project's needs and requirements.
