Chinese LED

Post by ShawnLaji »

I receive my RA+ on Tuesday. I like DIY stuff but have no knowledge of coding. I have Chinese LEDs and just want to make sure they will be compatible. They aren't dimmable so just on and off. Between the 3 lights there are 6 cords. 1 for each white and 1 for each blue. Can I hook them up to a 3 outlet cord and put them on a outlet each for the RA instead of using 6 plugs?

Something like this, with a short extension cord. Plug it into one outlet onto the relay box, and plug all the whites into it. Do the same with the blues on another outlet. There is a limit to how many amps each outlet will handle. Can't recall off the top of my head.

That's interesting with the 3 cube converter. Would that actually work??

It or similar. I would think one side might be difficult to plug into but the outlets on the relay box are pretty well spaced. Don't exceed 5A which shouldnt be a problem.

I use a short extension cord and plug the 3 way tap into the end. Works great for power adapters that would otherwise block outlets as well.
