Will this power source work?

Ive purchased 5 sets of these RGB LED modules:

and Ive purchased the LOR CMB16D-QC.

Will the power supply that I have pictured below work to power all of these? I know thats pretty vague, so if you have any questions please ask.

Thanks,
Pete

The product information says: "Power Consumption Per Piece: 0.24"

Assuming this means Watts, then dividing by 12V (13.8V is "close enough") gives .02A (20mA).

It says 20 pieces per string, so the whole string would draw .4A.

You said you are using 5 strings, so the total current is 2A. This is well under the 20A that your power supply seems to have.

Of course, this all depends on the accuracy of the description. 20mA sounds about right for 1 color, so I suspect you will have to multiply that by 3 when all 3 colors are on. This would still be well within the limits of your power supply.
