Thanks Barkuti for fixing the links. I copied it into the OP.
xevious, I’ve bought several different power supplies. Make sure you get UL listed ones. They are a little bit pricier but worth the extra for the protection. Here is a list of websites that I think have trustworthy power supplies.
There are some issues, still. It has to do with limitations of the simple post editor, I think; you could switch to the advanced editor and then paste my edited content, it will straight work then.
Thanks a lot for the info. I see that you’ve got a couple of ordinary fakes and that CRI95 lights often are slightly short of their rating but most strips easily do 90+.
Hi fneuf. Since I have all those strips stored away, it will take a lot of time to pull each one out and screw on power adapters to connect them. Therefore the chance for that is unlikely given how busy I am. But from what I remember it is always the R9 that is the lowest so R12 should always be higher.
Alright, I had to ask because there are 3 separate entries in the data. I figured #1 and #2 were the same LEDs. But #3 has a notable drop in it’s R9. It could be the LEDs perform better at higher power.
And a big thanks for making this data available on BLF! I placed an order last night for some high-cri led strips. I chose the “Auxma 2700K 2835 DC 12V 120LED/m 9.6w/m” based on your data. I wouldn’t have ventured into the $32 LED strips without your guidance
are related, doesn't it? Which basically means strip #3 uses different, higher value current limiting resistors.
Anyone did some efficiency estimations for led strips? I think it causes a @#$% drop. I would prefer to buy led strips meant to be powered by led drivers, not only efficiency wouldn't suffer but also there would be no distance dimming problems.
The Gree LEDs look great value but inconsistent. I have some of their single SMD LEDs and they seem better quality than all other LEDs I’ve ever bought from aliexpress, but I only ever buy cheap junk!
Any idea if these are the same Marwalls that were tested here? I just installed some smart dimmers and i’m anxious to get some dimmable LEDs. Don’t have the patience to wait on the slow boat.
