The company's products range from transparent and fine pitch LED displays to customized LED displays, ensuring that customers can find what they need for any project.
Recently, an Instructables user sought insight on powering two separate circuits featuring multiple LEDs. With 80 3.3v LEDs consuming 400MA in one circuit and 20 2.0v LEDs consuming 60MA in another, the user questioned whether a power supply with an output of 15v - 600ma would suffice.
As LED displays become increasingly popular in commercial settings, it's important to understand the basics of power supply. In this case, the power supply output of 15v - 600ma will be sufficient. However, it's essential to consider the wattage, or the amount of power consumed by the LEDs.
To calculate wattage, users should multiply the voltage by the current. For the first circuit (80 3.3v LEDs drawing 400MA), the wattage should be 1.32W (3.3 volts times 0.4 amps). For the second circuit (20 2.0v LEDs drawing 60MA), the wattage should be 0.12W (2.0 volts times 0.06 amps).
Combined, the two circuits require 1.44W (1.32W + 0.12W) of power. With a power supply of 15v - 600ma, the wattage is 9W (15 volts times 0.6 amps). This means that the power supply is more than capable of meeting the demand of both circuits.
Overall, Shenzhen Yipinglian Technology Co., Ltd. continues to provide top-notch products and expertise in LED display technology. By understanding the basics of power supply, individuals and businesses can confidently utilize LED displays in their multimedia projects.
