[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1217062, member: 18896"] [USER=161298]@guru88[/USER], I have the exact same setup without resistor, or capacitor, and everything has been working flawless for me for many weeks now. Is your power supply providing a spiked voltage when it powers on? Such a spike could easily damage an LED strip, and no capacitor is gonna save you from that as you require different components to do that, or a better power supply. To properly test for the spike you need special equipment such as an oscilloscope. A temporary solution would be to power on the supply with a fake load (or no load), allow it time to stabilize output (can take less than a second), and then connect the LED strips. [/QUOTE]
