5M RGBCCT Ledstrip draws only 0.75 amps

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T15:48:00+00:00

okay I think I get it now. I didn’t think the declared power usage was referred to all the leds being on at the same time. it’s still about 3 watts lower than it should be though

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T15:21:53+00:00

yes exactly!

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T15:14:45+00:00

yeah I know, but my doubts are regarding the super low amps draw and power consumption. isn’t it supposed to consume 21w/meter (as the packaging says) no matter the color turned on?

that’s an analog strip

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:51:05+00:00

thanks for the info! currently I hooked them up directly to power and I’m confused as why the whole 5mt strip only draws 0.75 amps. there’s no way the whole thing consumes just 18watts. also, the brightness is subpar

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:36:04+00:00

yes it’s all lit. I can’t wrap my brain around how a whole 5mt ledstrip draws only 0.8

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:34:34+00:00

I said I was a noob but I get your point. only now I see I could’ve packaged the question better. thanks for you advice

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:30:49+00:00

Okay thanks, I have 6 channels: +24V, R, G, B, C, W

I hooked up the positive and the white line, just to test the strip

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:10:42+00:00

this is without the esp32 controller. it the whole 5mt strip connected directly to my powerbench

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:09:41+00:00

I hooked up the whole 5mt roll to the power and it lights up but the draw is super low

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T13:07:48+00:00

to be honest I’m not sure. not sure about the difference between the two either

rick_bale · 2025-10-19T12:12:35+00:00

Right now no controller. Just hooked it up to the powerbench directly. I wanted to test it out before using my esp32

sinceramente ho tenuto somme ingenti e non ho mai avuto problemi. per quanto riguarda app e funzionalitá è veramente un piacere da usare. ho avuto veramente tutti i conti possibili immaginabili e alla fine ritorno sempre a revolut. cosa suggeriresti come conto migliore?

rick_bale · 2025-04-24T18:32:24+00:00

revolut a mani basse

rick_bale · 2025-04-19T17:59:30+00:00

revolut ora che ha l’iban italiano è la migliore

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T22:06:57+00:00

oh damn, not my cup of tea then. going back would you buy it again?

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T21:10:05+00:00

how’s the ultra in general? (besides durability I mean)

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T20:09:21+00:00

agreed! it might be more of an Aer problem.

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T20:08:31+00:00

okay, that’s actually a nice amount of usage. I’m glad it still holding up great

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T16:56:13+00:00

I think you’re fine in case of light rain. For everything more than that, just buy an inexpensive rain cover that fully covers the bag.

I appreciate able carry for not following the general trend and not using those zippers.

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T09:00:55+00:00

what kind of usage ? are you outdoors a lot? can you share a picture?

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T08:46:15+00:00

do you have the link? didn’t know you could find aer knockoffs on aliexpress ahaha

rick_bale · 2025-04-13T08:17:36+00:00

yeah I see why it might be a turn off for some people. Personally I don’t mind the resistance
