It's funny how all of these basic LED strip videos never show this part...which is a very important first step of learning how to set things up. Great job!
The reason I'm here. You don't see this anywhere. I ordered a power supply, node mcu, and pixel strings to get started.. then what?... Glad I found this.
I hope he hasn't burned anything down with his power supply yet. I'd highly recommend putting a power switch and a fuse on the AC side so that if the power supply ever does start to smoke, the power can be cut without having to run to the end of a 20 foot cord to unplug it, and no one will get electrocuted by touching it. Adding a switch and fuse is ridiculously easy. There are many IEC power cable sockets available with built in fuses and switches. Get one and you won't have to chop up a perfectly good power cable! You'll still need some wires to run from the socket to the power supply, but wires are cheap. You'll also need to buy some crimp connectors and a crimping tool to make the connections, but they're cheap also. Don't mess around with 110/220 volt AC connections. Don't cut corners. Do it right. Adding a fuse greatly reduces the chances of a fire both in the power supply itself, and in the AC power circuit the power supply is plugged into. No electrician would ever wire up a power supply like this. It would be a violation of most electrical codes it they did. 110/220 volt AC circuits don't care if you're a pro or an amateur, If you do things wrong, eventually there will be serious consequences.
I'd subscribe to a channel that teaches how to wire stuff. I want to make a simple circuit with a few switches, USB ports, 12V cigarette plug, a battery and a way to charge the battery. I have no idea where to begin!
Thanks for posting this. I bought the power supply and was lost when it had no power cord and no information of the symbols of the poles. I kind of knew but like to play it safe. It's hard to believe that these companies don't offer any instructions at all.
Two important things that I am missing in this video (pls upvote, so everyone sees this). - STRAIN RELIEF: Definitely make sure you have some kind of strain relief installed, that prevents the mains cable from disconnecting when someone pulls on it (e.g. when stumbles over it). A cable tie attaches to a strong part of your casing could be enough. - PE Wire: If you use a metal casing for your project you need to connect PE-wires to all metallic case components. This ensures that the circuit breaker trips as soon as a loose live wire touches it so there is no mains voltage on the case.
2 yrs ago, bought led strips identical to yours, didn't know how to hook it up, then last yr, mustered up some courage & bought a power supply that also looks similar to yours, didn't know how to hook that up. now i know i have to buy a computer cable to get the PSU working. our similarities ends there, when i avoided Ardiuno, for the lack of coding knowledge i possess. Went ahead & got SP105E Magic Controller, which should take care of all the coding for me, but dont know how to get it powered. honestly i could've avoided all this hassle & paid a premium 2 yrs ago for a Philips RGB setup in my room
Exactly what I needed! Short and to the point. Many thanks. I didn't even know we could tune these...I'm guessing you want to adjust to the required voltage (5V in your video, but I bought a 12V unit, so I'll aim to be as close as possible to that).
Lol Im pretty sure I blew out my arduinos 5v header. I have like 230 leds on just the arduino. Im surprised its still running. Thanks for the info. I needed this and no one shows how to do this.
thank you for this video it helped me connect the power supply ,but i still don't know how to connect the light.could you walk me threw it..could you please show how to connect a pi zero w and ws2812b lights..please your very good at explaining. keep the videos coming I'm a fan already..
@@jorginho1800 what were your results? Did you power the controller separately with a standard 5V 2A powercable and then power the strip with the 5V 20A power supply?
What I did to wire this power supply to United states 220-240v on a 4 wire dryer circuit: I wired it using one hot wire and the neutral wire to get down 120V. These power supplies that are compatible up to 250V but only have one Line voltage lug are actually meant for overseas electrical wiring with one hot 220V
I need to use a PSU like this with 220- 240V to power a 12V fan on my air compressor aftercooler. There isn't a white neutral (United States 240V). Does my second hot wire (red) go to the N terminal on the unit?
Thanks for the reply. I'll plug it into a surge power strip to be on the safe side as far as accidentally frying my electronics in case of a surge. Im glad I won't have to cut up a good computer cord now
Yeah, potentially. You probably won't die if you accidentally touch the bare AC wires with your hand, but under the right circumstances like if the current was to pass through your heart it could stop it and kill you.
question: Do show a video on how to wire the LED lights specifically the one you show in this video the 144 count. thanks hope to see that video if possible.
I have the same type power supply. I find mind get very very hot and I'm only drawing 50% the wattage it's rated for.. Do you find yours gets very hot as well?
So might be a dumb question but on power supplies like these if it says lets say 24v 48amp that means it can handle 48 amp worth of power draw at 24volts?
2:45 that is actually wrong Each WS2812b (led chip) will draw ~20mA per color channel => ~60mA at full brightness that means in your case 144x60mA and not 144x20mA that's 8.6A [25w( at full brightness)] me personally I would take a bigger power supply, for my projects I always use only 2/3 of power supplys rating especially for "chinase" power supplys like that one.
Thank you very much for this video im doing my first led project and couldnt find information on how to set it up! Just one question, where do you connect the ground of the led strip
I sell them At my shop , SO many customers screw this up and short them out LOL! The First Batch of them we got had a Fuse in them... Same Thing They always over loaded them.. And Killed the fuse.. I bet i changed at least 20 fuses. After that we got them all with PTC Auto Reset Fuse.
I'm having trouble with 2 different power supplies like that one in the video, a 10Amp and a 30 amp. They each can't seem to keep both a Windshield wiper motor pulling less that 1.75 amps running and a very small 12 volt emergency lighting battery (5" x 5" x 4") charged at the same time. The Pwr Sups at each in parallel with there respective batteries.
Hi, I would like to ask if it is okay for me to use a quite thin wire (the one provide in my arduino kit) to connect my arduino board with this power supply?
What kind of output power cable would I want if I wanted to use this to power a 50wpc amplifier? I get from the video how to get power in but what do I need to power an Aiyima A07? It has a standard DC power in.
I got 12v 5A smps....I used a normal 230v eu plug which hasn't a gnd wire....and i connect that wires correctly all are fine but I found current leakage issue....I can't touch it like you touching it in 6:00 !! What should I do?? Please reply me!!
I wonder if it is permissible to connect to multiple V+ or multiple V-, and if this helps with current capacity. I used to run a company designing switchers, and I can tell you that it depends on the detail of the design. Sometimes it is bad, sometimes it is OK. Nothing I have found online answers if it is OK with these Bosytro supplies. Unless I can find something assuring me that it is OK, I will connect to just one pair.
I found various sources claiming the multiple outputs are already tied together, and they are provided for connection capacity. I also tried ohmmeter (in both directions to eliminate any possibility of passing through a diode junction), and it came out 0ohms in both directions. So I tied them together. No problems so far.
I got 3 of those 144 LED/M strips and a 5V 40A PSU and just wanted to double check if I was doing stuff correctly, thank you :D Also went a bit overkill I noticed. Well, that just leaves more room for more LED strips. The 40A was only 3 euros more than the 20A though
I am currently looking at buying a power supply for 5 servos that have a combined stall current of 7.5 amps. Should I get a power supply that is 8 amps? Will that behave any different from a 12- or 40-amp power supply of the same voltage?
Hello Oven, thanks for this video. I have a question: I'm planning use a PS like this in my HF rig which needs 30V for the power amplifier section, my question is: can use this kind of power supply on a continuous way? I meant, during transmission. Of course, I have a PS which deliver 30V 20A. Thanks in advance.
I have not done tests on this, but I don't think it would be a problem if the PS can handle it, not overheat. Only thing I don't know is if it would interfere with your HF during transmission.
@@OvensGarage Many thanks Oven for you quick response, actually my rig use a switched PS: Yaesu FP-29 but for some reason that PS is dead and many people said that kind of PS when dead, is dead. So, I will try to replace with new "guts", I mean, with the PS that you described but with different voltage. Any other recommendation? please.
ok, but your power cable is three prong. Do we need three prong or is it ok to use a two prong power cable? I am not leaving it plugged in. Also, If i do used a two pronged power cord, do the colors going correctly to L and N matter since the plug can be plugged into the wall outlet upside down and right side up?
For safety, use a three prong. Especially if you don't know enough about electric wiring. Plus, this kind of Chinese PSU doesn't have double electrical insulation as Western standard ones have. You absolutely need the earthing wire for this thing.
Would I plug an sp110e into the power outputs of the transformer? How could I inject power into a string of rgb strips safely? Do you happen to know how to figure out what gauge wire to use? I can solder, im just very unfamiliar with power stuff.
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I have a 12v DC 8 amp water pump. I am planning to use a timer which will switch on and off every 5 or 10 minutes, running for a minute or so. Can use this power supply unit to hook it up to a timer switch. My plan: Timer-power supply unit-water pump. Is this the correct set up. Please. Thanks in advance
Quick question. I have 2 fans of 12Volt that I want to power. Does that mean that I need a Power Supply with 24Volts output if I plug them into the same port? Thank you.
Thanks. I am looking for info on how to mount that power supply box to a wall. How is that part done? My question is more geared towards the safety aspect of it -- the leads are exposed -- is it safe to mount as is, or does it need an enclosing box. Since it already has a ventilating fan, I wanted to see an example of how experts are mounting this. And I did do a search using many keywords before I asked the question, assuming the maker of this video has the answer.
Why would assume someone teaching a video on wiring would know how to do construction work? Also if you're smart enough to have a project that needs a power supply like this, and are watching this video, I have high confidence in your ability to put a wall affixment for this power supply together without needing any help from this content creator. That would be *so easy* to figure out yourself. Why ask him?
you can literally just look at it for two seconds, see which parts are going to be easily fixed to the wall and are unimportant, and just fucking bolt it on, if you wanted to go neanderthal with it. like...
Hi I'm a newbie and not too techno savvy but could you show how to wire a 12 volt switching power supply to get 80 amps to run my cb linear amplifier thanks.
So ultimately you could only connect two leds to this? Are there others that would let you connect more than two? I want to use this for high powered servo motors and I need 20 motors I'd rather not buy 10 of these lmao
HELLO, is it normal to have 70 volts between one of the leads from the wall and the frame of the power supply? i keep getting shocked and i am not sure why?!
You can. You have to connect the power supplies in parallel. You can google that. I think its not worth the trouble though. You have to make sure both power supplies are up to par and dont fluctuate.. if one power supply drops or dies the other power supply wont be able to power the device or can cause the power supply to burn out depending on what youre powering. Youre better off just getting the proper Amperage power supply for the device. The rule of thumb when it comes to engineering is the more factors you add in to the equation, the more you increase your chances of things to cause errors and fail. The harder it is to troubleshoot to. This is why the saying K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) came into existence. Humans tend to over-think problems or go over-board with their solutions and end up shooting themselves in the foot. www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/can-i-connect-two-power-supplies-in-parallel/
Hey, I'm doing an ambilight project with ws2812b 5v LEDs and i use 90 LEDs (60 LEDs per meter). I tried to connect it with a 5v 1000mA power supply but it only powered up 60 LEDs of the 90. So do I need another power supply with more Ampere to light it all?
It's funny how all of these basic LED strip videos never show this part...which is a very important first step of learning how to set things up. Great job!

Also if you're smart enough to have a project that needs a power supply like this, and are watching this video, I have high confidence in your ability to put a wall affixment for this power supply together without needing any help from this content creator. That would be *so easy* to figure out yourself. Why ask him?
you can literally just look at it for two seconds, see which parts are going to be easily fixed to the wall and are unimportant, and just fucking bolt it on, if you wanted to go neanderthal with it. like...
Many thanks for your explanation
Is it safe to hold the metal cage when the power is running through it ?
Yes, i am using one 12V 10A supply. You can hold it but keep in mind, there is only an insulating film to insulate the circuit from the metal cage.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What if I am using a normal single pole switch to control the strip led?
What's the power consumption in standby mode?
Hi I'm a newbie and not too techno savvy but could you show how to wire a 12 volt switching power supply to get 80 amps to run my cb linear amplifier thanks.
I would have checked earth continuity to the case to check that it's actually connected. :)
How?

So ultimately you could only connect two leds to this? Are there others that would let you connect more than two? I want to use this for high powered servo motors and I need 20 motors I'd rather not buy 10 of these lmao
HELLO, is it normal to have 70 volts between one of the leads from the wall and the frame of the power supply? i keep getting shocked and i am not sure why?!
Ground wired wrong
Îs good for car player ?
Thanks for the video, but where is the second one????
Coming soon
05:33 But *Oven* : have you double checked whether the AC switch is on *110 V* ? [this seems to be an American plug. Right?]
So when I turn on my light bars that I use in my bumper it makes my radio turn to crap. Would a power supply like this fix it?
No! That's 110V AC your truck is 12V DC. A capacitor across the power to the lights and or radio would help.
In the case of a light bar on a vehicle I would imagine a simple automotive relay wired up to a switch should perform well.
I burned one bro now returned to Amazon as replacement free of cost. 😂😂
lol
So the cable volts and amps dont matter??
just bought this power supply and was wondering how the hell do I hook this up to the power. thanks for the vid
Glad I could help
I got a question.. Now i got 2 power supply 12v both is same 50a... Can i combine together for powered 1 amplifier to get 100a output?
I don't think so, unless you split the device load into each power supply somehow.
You can. You have to connect the power supplies in parallel. You can google that. I think its not worth the trouble though. You have to make sure both power supplies are up to par and dont fluctuate.. if one power supply drops or dies the other power supply wont be able to power the device or can cause the power supply to burn out depending on what youre powering. Youre better off just getting the proper Amperage power supply for the device. The rule of thumb when it comes to engineering is the more factors you add in to the equation, the more you increase your chances of things to cause errors and fail. The harder it is to troubleshoot to. This is why the saying K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) came into existence. Humans tend to over-think problems or go over-board with their solutions and end up shooting themselves in the foot. www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/can-i-connect-two-power-supplies-in-parallel/
Hey, I'm doing an ambilight project with ws2812b 5v LEDs and i use 90 LEDs (60 LEDs per meter).
I tried to connect it with a 5v 1000mA power supply but it only powered up 60 LEDs of the 90.
So do I need another power supply with more Ampere to light it all?
This sounds like a software issue not hardware. Try adjusting your code it sounds like you have done something where it will only light 60 of the 90
