LED Strip Driver Calculator

Finding the correct power supply for your low-voltage LED lighting setups can often feel complicated, but calculating your requirements accurately is essential for a safe and long lasting installation. Consequently, selecting an underpowered unit will cause your tape to flicker or fail prematurely. To prevent this, our easy-to-use LED Driver Calculator instantly processes your installation metrics to find the ideal match. Simply enter your linear tape's total wattage per metre alongside your total run length. Our system automatically factors in a critical 20% electrical safety buffer to protect your components. Whether you need a dimming or non-dimming setup, follow this quick guide below to find the exact product codes required for your project.

Please Note: This calculator does not constitute electrical advice. It is based on a standard electrical formula dependent on the reel wattage per metre and the length of the LED strip run. It should be used as a guide only and does not represent the suitability of LED drivers. You should always consult a qualified electrician for exact suitability and installation.
