How to Connect a Power Repeater to your LED Controller
Share
When working with LED strips for larger projects, you often need more power than a single controller can handle. This is where a power repeater becomes essential. It helps extend the load capacity of your controllers, ensuring that every section of your lighting setup shines brightly and evenly.
Connecting a power repeater to your LED controller is straightforward. First, connect the output terminals of the controller to the input terminals of the power repeater. Then, wire the output terminals of the power repeater directly to your LED strips. Make sure to match the correct voltage and polarity for a smooth and safe installation.
Power repeaters are especially useful when dealing with long runs of LED strips or multiple lighting zones. Instead of overloading your controller, the power repeater takes the signal from the controller and supplies additional current to the LEDs without affecting performance. You can even chain multiple power repeaters together if your project requires even more power!
In short, using a power repeater with your controllers ensures that your LED strips operate efficiently, beautifully, and safely — no matter how large your lighting project is.
