if you want to use multiple power supplies, they should be connected to<br>
separate sections of LED tape, power supplies' outputs should not be paralleled<br>

Is it relatively easy to splice in new power supplies into these things<br>
after you’ve cut one?<br>

hi Cere,<br>
<br>
you're correct that you can cut that type of LED tape along any of the<br>
dotted<br>
lines. It's made up of a bunch of independant circuits which each have 3<br>
LEDs<br>
and resistors and run on 12V, and then they're all in parallel for 12V<br>
down the<br>
whole strip. The current draw from your 12V power supply will change<br>
with the<br>
number of LEDs, but the voltage will always be 12V.<br>

works they way I think it does. My only question, really, is whether I<br>
can<br>
just cut the strip at the designated locations and it will work fine<br>
with a<br>
12v power supply without any need for extra resistors? It looks like the<br>
LEDs all sit in parallel along the strip so therefore…?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
