Am I require to purchase a transformer? Or solely the power adapter will be sufficient? Please help, thanks.

Depends what you are doing. A simple power adaptor will work for turning it on and off. The transformer becomes more of an issue if you want to dim. For example I wanted to install lights that would work as under cabinet lighting and I wanted to dim at the wall switch. Well, you get bad results if you modulate power going into a standard AC adaptor - those want house current as input. I needed to get a magnetic transformer and a wall switch/dimmer to work with it. That was some expense ($80 for transformer and $40 for the dimmer) but the results were great and on the whole the system was less than doing LED fixtures. Depends what you are doing.

You will need to get a power supply LED driver to run these lights. Depending on the length of the strip (number of lights) and the environment (outdoor or indoor location) you will need to select the best driver for your application. This is an example of a water proof supply I am using outside on out patio to drive a partial strip of lights (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FWO24US/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). If the entire strip of LEDs draws 1.7 - 2Amps at 12V, which would be 20-24 Watts, you could use a single 30W driver to power the entire strip.

You need a step down transformer... Do some looking and you can find good ones as cheap as $15, and pretty low profile

Derrick, I'm not sure there is a 100% accurate answer to this. I imagine there are some places where you would not need one, and others where you will. I would recommend picking up a power converter, and if you need it great if not, you have it just in case. Sorry that's probably not the answer you were looking for.

It needs a 6 volt, 300 mA power supply. The one that came with mine expects 120 volt AC at 60Hz and has the US 2 prong plug. So it probably won't work without a transformer, but you can probably find a replacement with the same output voltage for cheap.

If you buy it in the US and the country you are going to uses 220V, you will need a voltage transformer. You will also need a plug adapter.

I have the Transformer, not the laptop, so cannot answer your question. Sorry.

If you purchase from a source in an area with 220 it should come wired for it, otherwise, you will need a transformer.

No power supply provided. It requires a 120V AC to 12 V DC transformer / driver. You will need to figure the amount of amperage required based on the number of running feet in order to purchase the correct transformer / driver for your particular application.

NO.A power transformer is included with the purchase. You will only need to use this power transformer when attaching 3.5" HD's to the device.2.5" HD's can run off the power supplied through the USB/SATA convertor.

There is a 3V DC 500mAmp power port, but the transformer does not come with it. I'm using it with rechargeable batteries--no problems so far.

Hi, thank you for the inquiry. Currently Amazon only carries the US transformer. Note however that any transformer with an output of 24VAC will work, so the transformer can be sourced separately if you decide to get the unit anyway. Thanks

Transformer for 110V is in the unit. If you need 220V, then you will need extra transformer.

So do I have to get a transformer to plug it in for the 220v or can I just get a plug adapter and plug it into that? I am stationed in Italy and don't live on base, so all my outlets are 220v.

I don't believe the converter would be sufficient. I got a transformer converter- which is rated for "electronics".It's a bit heavy, but it is a reliable device. I also found it on Amazon, so search for converter/adapter for electronics.

No my friend,it is not gonna work.You need at least 10.000w.But as far as i know there is no plug in model for 10.000w transformer.You need need to wiring and professional help.Good luck..

I too have the same question. I will try to buy a 120 V step down transformer.... meanwhile wanted to know which transformer someone has used it sucessfully with this? Is a transformer based converter needed or normal wiothout transformer work? I had one already but not sure if to use this or buy a transformer based 120 V

You will need to buy the power supply separately. Be sure you purchase one of correct voltage and amperage.

You can use the 120 volt transformerÇÑ±¹¿¡¼­ »ç¿ëÇÏ½Ã¸é 120º¼Æ®º¯¾Ð±â¸¦ ±¸ÀÔÇÏ¼Å¼­ »ç¿ëÇÏ½Å¸é ¹®Á¦¾øÀÌ ÀÛµ¿ÇÕ´Ï´Ù
