1.2 Power Supplies
When choosing a power supply, allow at least 15% reserve for voltage fluctuations due to variables beyond
your control such as ambient temperature and supply voltage fluctuations to ensure your lights are always
receiving the proper voltage and to ensure the power supply is not "overworked" causing premature failure.
Use chart below in determining power supplies.
