LEDWIZ wiring question
<< < (4/7) > >>
mgb:
That wall wart will already be fused internally, but it would be a definite benefit to put an inline fuse in
stalemate:
So let's see if I have this straight...

I will be powering 16 rgb lights so that is a total of 960 ma (16x20x3). So, a 1 amp inline fuse is what I need? Or should I go higher?
BobA:
Fuse sizing should be about 125 percent of max load.   If loads are inductive or capacitive this can be increased but for LEDs it should be fine.
stalemate:
Thanks! That makes sense

Stupid question, any suggestions where to get such a thing or what to get? I looked up inline fuses at radio shack and they are all like 12v/10amp and stuff. I think I need 5v/1.2 amp?

The things radio shack has look good because they have wires with a fuse holder already  inline so I just have to wire in their wire in series with my wiring but I don't see the right sizes.
BobA:
I don't think they have fuses specifically for 5V.   Fuses are rated by amperage and the volatge that you are most likely to get is 12V or 120V
