Hi all,

I currently have built simple boxes that have a four pole connector on the outside to easily attach/remove RGB led strip from the power supply. Currently I'm using a 24Vdc power supply (as thats the main voltage of strip I use) and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to put a switch on the box to convert the output power to 12Vdc (as some strip I can use is 12v)? Or is it better to put a 12Vdc power supply inside as well and just switch? I'd like to keep jus the one connector on the outside and just switch voltages.

thanks

 

hi tilbot,
Welcome to AAC.
What is the current requirement for the 12Vdc output.?

thanks E,

20amps @ 12vdc

 

hi,
For 20Amps at 12Vdc I would use a second power supply, make sure selector switch can switch 20A.
