Connecting LOR 10w Flood to cmb24d

[mpageler]

Looking at adding the LOR 10w floods and running them off of a cmb24d  that has a 30amp power supply.

I see that the LOR floods have 2 wires..18" dangle and 16' power cord. Does this mean that the dangle goes to the cmb24d and that the power cord goes to a stand alone power supply and doesn't get it's power from the controller?

If that's the case, why does the flood need it's own power supply, when RGB strips gets data and power from a controller via 4 connector wire?

The 10 watt flood light can not connect directly to the CMB24D. The 16' cord attached to the flood light connects to the 18" dangle. The 18" dangle then connects to the CMB24D.

 

You would need a power supply as the flood light gets it's power from the CMB24D, which has no on board power supply.

I use (1) 12V 350W to supply CMB24 with no issues.

Thanks...that clears it up. was hoping that the flood gots it's opwer from the PS serving the controller .

Mike i just purchased the cmb24d and a few of the floods. I also bought one 350W power supply and it seems to work with no issues. I bought a cable guard 1500 enclosure to to put it all in. You can pick up a mounting kit from holiday coro that lets the powe supply and the board fit in the one enclosure.

I used 2 350watt 30 amp power supplies from amazon to power my card..  in the process of connecting 16,  5 meter RGB lights with power injection..
