How to choose led driver for strip light?

The general voltage of LED strip is DC voltage, commonly 5V, 12V, 24V, 48V. Therefore, the LED driver is required. The power of the led driver power supply is determined according to the power of the LED strip and the connection length. If you do not want each LED strip to be controlled by a LED driver power supply, you can buy a led driver with relatively large power as the main power supply, and then connect all the input power supplies of the LED strip in parallel (if the wire size is not enough, it can be extended), and the main power supply will be unified. The advantage of this s that it can be controlled centrally, but the inconvenience is that it cannot realize the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED strip light. The specific method can be measured by yourself.
The two most important points in the process of matching the LED strip driver are to identify the voltage of the low-voltage light strip and select the appropriate power.
The voltage of the lamp strip can be seen on the flexographic plate of the lamp strip, or the specification given by the merchant at the time of purchase can be known.
The power is mainly determined from the load of your light source. The power of the selected power source can be calculated by this calculation: (Strip Watts per meters * Lengths) + 5-20% free space = a valid LED Driver.
The power of the common LED strip is:
3528LED strip light: 12V, 30 leds per meter, 2.4W per meter
3528LED strip light: 12V, 60 leds per meter. 4.8W per meter
5050LED strip light: 12V, 30 leds per meter, 7.2W per meter
5050LED strip light: 12V, 60 leds per meter, 14.4W per meter
For example, our 60W constant voltage led driver (HZD060BYI), if the purchase is 3528LED lamp belt, 12V, 60 leds per meter, 4.8W per meter power, then the power supply can carry the lamp belt below 12 meters. It is not recommended to use the power supply at full load, because that will greatly affect the life of the power supply. It is recommended to use only 95% of the power supply.
