Hi Xbmc community

I am Currently building "ambient light" the some LED stips from Adafruit
Led Stip adafruit

The thing is that i need a power supply that can give the power Output that this LED stip needs and im not sure if im callculating right?

Here is my setup


4x LED stips (25 led's per strip) so in total 100 led's

theire technical Description says 5V - 60mA per pixel at Maximum?

what is one pixel? is that 1 LED? or 3 Colors (RGB)?


If its 1 LED that means that 100 LED's is 60mA * 100 = 6000mA = 6 Amp's right?

so i can get an powersupply with an output on 5V - 6 Amps? or can it be bigger?


If im not clear enough please let me know thank you fellas :-)

You can always go higher, the power supply only supplies what is needed. The adalight comes with a 2A supply for 25 LED's. So with 8A you should be safe.

But, how big is your screen that you need 100 LED's?

Ahh thank you Nu7s

I dident know that it could do that


i got a 55" monitor and i have seen the guide on here for a 55" so i thought why not do the same 100 LED's

and ill properly do some benchmarks on the different Processing tools like (Boblight, Proccessing, Ambibox, etc.) on the response time and clearness and so forth so i can help others aswell :-)

and of course my own documentation :-)

Looking forward to the report...

Just an update on the project, :-)

I received my long waiting 100 LED's jay for that (Some USPS issue)

I Also got an Arduino Uno,


Now ill just need to wait for the Power Supply --


I will keep you updated when things are ready :-)

I bought their 10A one and it works like a charm with 132 LEDs
