Led driver outdoors 12v 120w suggestions?
hi
As title I am searching for a led driver that can deliver approx. 120w at 12v in European 220v.
I want to install led strips outside. I have the rolls of led in 5m rolls. The run at around 36watts a piece. I am thinking that I need to run 3 wires from the driver. I doubt that daisy-chaining will do the first strip any good. It'll run way too hot and burn out. Running the wires isn't a problem, I just need the right driver :-)
Any and all ideas, thoughts and suggestions will be much appreciated!

You could run just two conductors.... plus and minus. You are correct in that you usually can't daisy chain the strips.
Are you looking for a power supply with a plug..... something to hang on a house or are you going to enclose the power supply in an enclosure ?

You maybe forced to put them in a waterproof encloser.
I didn't find a single 230/240v to 12vdc 10A weatherproof power supply.

How do you mean? Just run 2 conductors? Plan was to have the driver outside.. I could have the driver inside but that would leave wires running down the side of the house :-/

I'm still looking but haven't found what you want.
I misunderstood you..... you meant run three cables.... one from each strip to the power supply.
Yes... that would be correct.
