Can I run SimpleColor Red and Infrared 850 nm IR LED Strip Light in parallel using one 12V power supply?


I want to check what your recommendations are for utilizing two of your products in parallel with a switch (A, B, or A+B) utilizing one power supply. I want to use the PN:7041.630 (Simple Color 12V LED Strip - RED) and the PN:7031.85 (Infrared LED Strip Lights - 1m) in a prototype I'm designing to use them as a source of heat and red light. I will be using about a meter of both in parallel, with the power junction through a switch that allows me to choose to use them individually or at the same time. I want to use just a single power source (The PN3091 from your company) and my initial thought is that this should support my use, but I'd like to check with your recommendations to see if that will be sufficient before making my purchase. 

For as long as the total available power provided by the power supply is not exceeded by the LED Strip Lights, we would expect the installation to operate without any issues. 

In the hopes that it proves to be useful, we have shared an article from our website below regarding the installation of LED Strip Lights in Parallel vs. in Series.
