Hi Bro Reckless,
Is the LED strip you using hard or flexible strip type?
If it is hard strip type then each strip run on 1/4 amp 12 v or 24 v
depend on manufacturer.
This type of LED is good for viewing and fish only tank or sump or tank less
then 9 inch height and laso nite light.
Some mushroom can survive,zoo and monti need to be place at least 3 to 4 inch from the
top.
If you keep them at 12 inch below the light they will just pale off over time.
Any way for this type of LED the driver is build on the strip already.You just need a
DC power adaptor of the right voltage and current.
A 1 amp adaptor can easily drive 4 strip of this type of LED.
