Electronics noob here. I've spent like 5 hours researching and I think this works.
I want to install an LED strip in a 20 ft. enclosed trailer I use for work. So far I think I have everything picked out.
LED LIGHT STRIP connected with THIS ADAPTER to THIS LED DRIVER. Finally, THIS PWM would regulate it all.
The LEDs are 3.5W per Ft. so that makes the whole thing 56W at 12V power from the truck battery. Which means it will be using 4.6A. (which means 276 mAh right? so a battery with 780 cold cranking amps should run it for roughly 2 hours right?)
Questions: Do I really need that LED Driver? My impression is that its basically a capacitor to smooth out the power from the PWM. I have no idea really, my brain is kinda cooked.
