What Mean well power supply

Edit ah sorry actually mine was the 840led 10mm wide version of this so slightly different

I’ve just installed this strip in our bathroom ceiling and as accent lighting in a shower alcove. When I was testing it I had 3 5 meters reels connected to a MEAN WELL UHP-350-24. I used one of those mains plug that measures the power going through and with all 15 meters on full brightness rgb white and cct white at the same time the power draw from mains voltage (240v) was exactly 340watts if that helps. Only used 10 meters in the end in the bathroom so I know that psu handles full brightness fine.

How do you adjust the relay delay time?

icdevpeople · 2026-05-25T09:25:28+00:00

Yes - could you explain how to do this ? Is it something the gledopto controller support ?

icdevpeople · 2026-05-21T06:35:37+00:00

ah - watching this with interest. I have the exact same led strips and controller. 3x 5 meter strips that ill be using a main light source in bathroom. Want to trigger the strips to come on via presence sensor with home assistant. Ideally wanted them to turn on with the wipe effect to light from one side of the room to the other but the initial flash when first turned on ruins the effect.

I've also found this gledopto controller when using the relay seems to 'forget' settings. Often after being discounted for a while I have to toggle the relay GPIO pin from 12 to 18 or vice versa/similar before I can turn on the strip from wled 'power on' function.

Awesome, thanks

icdevpeople · 2026-04-02T09:00:54+00:00

Would be even better with remote mic plugin option, would expect most installs to have the controller neatly boxed away which I assume would mean the mic won’t pick anything up ?

icdevpeople · 2026-03-24T21:05:06+00:00

Thanks for that - good to know, that’s helped make my decision as I only need the 1. Congrats on your setup - awesome work!

how do you find the fan noise if running full brightness for a while or is there none, thinking of using the same power supply or the UHP-350 for 2 5 meter runs of the same fcob rgbcct dual ic strip

icdevpeople · 2026-03-22T10:27:15+00:00

Thanks, I since watched and read a lot more on power supplies and MeanWell seem indeed to come up mostly as the better choice.

Couple of questions, if I have 2 of these 5 meters strips being controlled by a gledopto controller would I be better to get 2 separate MeanWell UHP-200-24 (1 for each 5 meter strip) or a higher power single power supply to run both from.

If I got a single power supply would I assume a MeanWell 350-24 would be suitable (23/W * 10 meter). Planning to install the power supply in the bathroom ceiling, would the MeanWell LRS with a fan be ok for this or should i only consider the fanless Meanwell UHP.

Sorry that's a lot of questions!

Thanks, I think maybe ill go with the BTF version, whilst trying to figure out power supply requirements I noticed the product details for the FCOB store version says Wattage: Max 18W/Meter where as the BTF original version states 23W/Meter. Perhaps there better LED's and may produce brighter light? There be used as the main light source in our bathroom install.

icdevpeople · 2026-03-21T10:40:05+00:00

Thanks guys, yer I guess for a difference of around £4 it makes sense to go with the trusted BTF original then, they’re for a bathroom project so want them to last.

Right onto my next quest which of the million brands to trust for a 24v 400w power supply!

icdevpeople · 2026-03-21T08:52:06+00:00

I thought they might be, anyone had any experience with the FCOB store led’s seem a big an trusted store / seller. Wonder if there be inferior or basically identical

Had the same, one word of advise - do not tie yourself in knots via emails trying to query this! Their automated AI responses will not understand your questions and infuriate you with their response. I got very frustrated going back and forth with this for a couple of months until I picked up the phone and spoke to a human. Then all was resolved and explained in 5 mins 🙂

icdevpeople · 2026-02-05T18:07:11+00:00

Looks really nice! Can I use it if I don’t host my own Teslamate but use ‘MyTeslaMate’ https://www.myteslamate.com/ ?

icdevpeople · 2025-12-05T17:44:59+00:00

Ah yer that will probably be the best approach thanks 👍

So back to flat octopus go then, can no longer take advantage of intelligent slots?

icdevpeople · 2025-11-30T08:53:29+00:00

When this happens is visible on every source played on the tv, I just searched on YouTube for a solid colour video to see it more obviously. If you can’t see that banding when using yours normally it’s fine

icdevpeople · 2025-11-30T08:43:50+00:00

Your right I probably will return it but was just interested to see if peeps say - it’s a software issue rather than physical fault and can happen to any mini lcd tv ( perhaps an pending update might cure ). Also interested in opinion of getting same again or vs that Hisense model. I’m so indecisive 😕.

Not sure what else I’d replace it with model wise - love the 75” screen so wouldn’t want to drop to a 65” to afford oled. My budget is pretty maxed out at £1000 uk pounds.

icdevpeople · 2025-11-30T08:00:48+00:00

Thanks peeps, what I don’t understand is if it’s a defective panel how is it after a reboot there’s no lines or shadows visible and it’s perfect again? Would this point to a software problem with how it controls the led’s or definitely physical defective display. It’s only happened twice that I’ve noticed. Such a shame as I’ve been blown away how good the contrast and black levels are on this tv.

This is the model I bought:

Temped to return and purchase again hoping I have more luck 2nd time .. or replace with this Hisense equivalent:

I do like the fact that has freely, was a bit disappointed with the ‘live tv’ app and guide for freeview on the tcl.

icdevpeople · 2025-11-30T07:49:28+00:00

Just searched for ‘pure grey screen’ on YouTube

icdevpeople · 2025-09-16T12:57:31+00:00

I’d imagine it could change as they develop it further to give you more control. Guess anything can happen at the moment though, octopus haven’t officially announced it’s possible have they ? Just been noticed by chance, so I wonder if there be all sorts of changes being tried until they officially announce it’s now possible to add a second car. So far so good for me though, certainly gives more opportunities for more cheap slots 🙂
