[QUOTE="Lightning303, post: 1164731, member: 97876"] I would say there is no real need for more than 60leds/m, especially not if your tv is free standing. I remember vaguely that me and [USER=17766]@Rick164[/USER] already mentioned that his one wont work. :) Number of leds times the current 1 led needs. Or as you have this information in watt per meter. It would be Watts per meter devided by the amount of leds per meter, devided by the voltage, times the total amount of leds. This will give you the current for the whole system :). So you will need a psu that can provide this current or more. Which will probably be one of these Meanwell ones, so the PSU Connector istnt needed in any case. I would suggest to connect to the middle of every side strip. So in best pracitce you would need 4 red and 4 black (4 times V+ and GND) wires. And every strip would be connected via 1 black and 1 red to the psu. [/QUOTE]
