Can I use a third-party power supply for Centric Home LED Strip?
I purchased an LED strip from a third party, and I'm dissatisfied with the quality of the light. I'd like to purchase lighting with a higher CRI. I'd purchase CENTRIC HOME™ LED Strip Lights for Home & Residential, 3003.27, 12V, 2700K. I'm wondering if the power supply I purchased from them will be compatible with your LED strip. The one I have is 60W Magnitude UL Listed Dimmable Power Supplies. I'm powering 10.5 feet of LED strip.
Based on our review of the Magnitude UL Listed Dimmable Power Supply product page, it appears that the 60W 12V version would be capable of powering 10.5 feet of our LED strip lights, which draw 5.5 watts per foot (totaling 57.75W).
Additionally, as the LED strip lights require 450 mA per foot, 10.5 feet would require 4.725 amps, which is just under the maximum output current of the 60W power supply.
That said, we do not see that the power supply lists flicker-free output as a feature. As such, you may find that the flicker rate of the LED strip lights is visibly noticeable. If so, you might be interested in our TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply for LED Strip as an alternative.
