Hi,
I bought 2 10 meter strips of 12V 5050 leds. They have UL tags that say 5Amp. I have cut them apart in 60 inch lengths. I then soldered 18g wire to each of them. My plan is to solder them all together and connect them in parallel to a 120w 10 amp power supply so I don’t get a voltage drop. I am guessing that this is not a good thing to do because the power supply is 10A and the ratings on the LED strips are 5A. My question is can I use 12V 5050 LED strips with a UL rating of 5A with a 12V 10A 120w power supply?
