[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1220174, member: 18896"] Not sure if you measured the output with LEDs connected, or disconnected, because a PSU without any load connected tends to show a much higher output. Also try measuring the voltage at the very end of the strip, because with all the resistance of 5 meter of LED strip it might barely be 5V, so then the higher voltage is a good thing at the start of the strip and there is usually enough room in the specifications to allow for that. A full detailed spec-sheet would tell you that, or you can just enjoy the results :) [/QUOTE]
