Can I use this with lED strip lights ? Thanks

I don't know what led lights you all are using but many leds work on ac or dc, they have a switching circuit that automatically does the conversion, they're all over amazon, see this link-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XZAPV8?psc=1

No. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc﻿

I used this power supply for 12V LED path lights with an AC to DC converter module from superbrightleds.com to convert the AC output to DC. Worked well.

No not unless the IED light strip is 8-12 volt DC. If the strip of light plugs in to the household outlet it can not be wire to this timer.

yes, it should work fine,Leds are very low amperage, you might have to use a resister to limit voltage depending on the LED Rating.

I don't know... what ever you do, you have to make sure you are feeding DC current to the strip of LED's. Since this dimmer is made for AC and not DC curernt, it may not work.

The strip light requires an LED driver with 110 V in and 12 V out, which is purchased separately. That's the best I can tell you.

You could but you will loose the plug. The light strip can be cut and comes with at least one extra connector. You could just add some wire to extend it.

Unfortunately, you cannot. This power adapter is not dimmable. As Erik suggested, we typically use dimmers that install between your power adapter and LED strip.

Yes. I've actually used it with a Sylvania light strip. It connects just fine.

Probably not. In my experience, when you try to use a standard dimmer on "dimmable" LED lights, it does not work. The wattage is different. Usually if it is a group of lights they cannot all be LED; you have to put one or two incandescent lights in the circuit so the dimmer works.Hope this helps.

It depends on the type of LED strip you're using. Some strips use more power than others because they use more powerful LEDs, or more LEDs per foot.

Yes you can.... I cut mine in 5 or 6 strips and connected them to fit my setting. Works just fine. The overall power consumption of all the strips is still the same even if you cut it in 10 pieces....just don't go and buy any additional strips that increases the overall lights on the power adapters, then you might have problems. These lights are great.

The spec sheet shows it works with "all types of lighting" so I'd say yes to LEDs. I use it on CFLs with no problem. Follow the link in the product listing to the user's manual for more details.

Hi Williams castillo Is each of your LED strips is 24 watts for every 5m? Then just sum the total and as you can see the led driver is 100 watts from the power output so if you use 4 strips you will be ok (96 watts) and within the range of the driver

You can use it on your led lights if it is 2.1mm DC Output Center Positive, 12V DC 500ma per channel.

I see no reason why not. This appears to be the purpose for which this device is designed. 12v SMD LED strips. Automotive or otherwise.

I don't know about LED lights, but I use mine with CFL lights and they work great!!!!!!!! Have several timers in place and it sure makes life easier!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights I purchased have a two wire pig tail on one end to attach to the required power supply. The other end was simply cut square. I did purchase end connectors that had two wires attached (+Red and -Black) that the square cut end of the light strip would plug into. Conceivable you could daisy chain several strips together using that arrangement as long as your power supply is rated for the current. I'm sure some supplier has a type of connector that accepts the raw ends of two strips for an electrical connection. It should be noted that the lights in strip form are not protected from the elements or contact with metallic surfaces. Mine are placed behind a wood molding under the cabinets. I modified the molding to place the strip at a 45 degree angle and just hot glued them in place. Easier than any other lighting I looked at. The power supply is very compact and efficient. I think they are excellent. There is an even flooding of light over the countertop and they always run cool. Good Luck with your project.

About any of the led strip supplies will work for this / these. I use the ones that look like PC lap top supplies. Lighting EVER® Power Adaptor, Transformers, Power Supply For LED Strip, 12V, 3A Max, 36 Watt Max . These are about $10.00 each. You will need about 30watts (<3 Amps) per strip. I have found the supplied controller will drive at least 2 strips pretty well. It is recommended not to use more than 2 strips in series (one plugged into the next.
