Reddit mentions of SUPERNIGHT 12V 30A Switching Power Supply, 110-240 Volt AC to DC 360W Universal Regulated Switching Transformer Adapter Driver for 3D Printer, CCTV, Radio, LED Strip Lights,Computer Project

Harddrive goes inside USB3 Sata Enclosure plugs into Powered(important) USB3 HUB plugs into ROCK64's USB3 PORT.
Provide power to Rock64 and USB hub using the included wallworts or, as in my case, a generic DC power supply and voltage regulator if necessary(rocknas and hub want 5v, but i needed to have a 12v mounted for other projects). Plug ethernet from router into back of Rock64.

Download OpenMediaVault image, and write to SD card with Etcher. Insert SD into Rock64 and boot. Login to your router to find Rock64 IP address. Type IP address into web browser to access OpenMediaVault, go to plugins, and install Transmission(torrent software), and then enable root SSH access in SSH settings.
SSH over as root and install sickrage. Lots of guides online, use this one if you chose a jesse openmediavault image(recommended as stretch comes with OMV4 which lacks most pluggins)

I'm using SUPERNIGHT RGBW LED Strip and a SUPERNIGHT 12V 30A Switching Power Supply.

I followed the guide that came with the controller to get it pared. Just wasn't what I was expecting. I was hopeful for a color wheel type of control instead of the multiple switches.

My thought on using a computer PSU that is also powering a computer is if there is a problem with the led strips. Such as one gets danged or the RGP controller goes bad, this could result in damage to your psu and other components. If it was all in case it would not be a problem as the strips will likely not be able to be damaged. For my own project I thought about using an PSU standalone to power some extra led strips for the garage, going for total of 288W. I deiced not to as I can get something smaller, cheaper and no waste of power like the 5v rails and 3.3v. At 200W depending on the psu you may have to wire into mutiple rails of the psu. I got this 360W 12v from amazon. Do note that this probably not UL tested. From what I understand for it to be safe and legal to be used in your house it needs to be in some other enclosure. Basically if it causes a fire your insurance may not cover damages. Also a note on long runs of led strips you should plan on running multiple 12v lines as the strips will have voltage drop. Being you are doing RGB you will need a signal amplifier/repeater like this. I would start with 1 repeater and test it to see how far you can power a run.

I have a Meopta Opemus colour. I needed a transformer with a 12V 100W output and ended up using 2x 12V 50W transformers connected in parallel. Had I been willing to pay the money, I could have bought a regulated output transformer like this one https://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-Switching-Universal-Regulated-Transformer/dp/B01LATMSGS

Buy one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-Switching-Universal-Regulated-Transformer/dp/B01LATMSGS/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2P5ENVT2763JH&keywords=120v+to+12v+dc+power+supply&qid=1564685533&s=gateway&sprefix=120v+to+12%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-3

Hook it up to one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/SHINESTAR-Converter-Cooling-10V-60V-Adjustable/dp/B07RRZR1WY/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=1500w+dc+dc+converter&qid=1564685429&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Use a timer to turn them off (a few hours later): https://smile.amazon.com/Fosmon-C-10707US-Mechanical-Resistance-Grounded/dp/B0779LVSB5/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=outlet+timer&qid=1564685576&s=gateway&sr=8-7

Just be sure to make your connection to battery first, then plug in the timer. Since voltage and current are adjustable, you could set it up for a quick heavy current charge or set it for low slow trickle charge. Either way, the timer can be set for just a few hours.

I use one of these setups for "quick" charging my 20s14p battery. I also have a stack of 7 HP server power supplies wired in series for a 84v @ 36a "fast" charger. I also carry a very small 84v @ 1.6a trickle charger in my backpack for emergency or long distance top offs.

I wouldn't be concerned about damaging a radio or a modest little amp with something like this but if you're running it close to that supposed 30 amp spec I'd be concerned for the power supply overheating or acting up and shutting off.

i just remembered that i had already bought this power supply and it's been sitting in my room along with the bass shakers since january lol https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LATMSGS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

got a question about the connection, is this what i have to do?: connect power supply to wall (like how you connect a laptop power supply to a wall to charge it for example), then connect that power supply to the amp, then connect the 4 bass shakers to the amp with speaker wires. Correct?

my question is, how do you connect the power supply to the wall power outlet..? it didn't come with any cables

Or is it this one?

Sorry for formatting on mobile.

I ran about 150’ of these lights in my basement.. used them as cove lighting and under bar/shelf lighting. I found you can connect 2 of these reels of lights without noticeable dimming down the strip of lights. Online you can find pretty much any supply as long as it outputs at the correct voltage (get that info from your LED controller)

I used this to power my main controller I think it’s actually for a fountain..I have no issues with brightness. Your controller isn’t going to let enough current run through the light strip to ever allow more than 2 reels of lights to be powered, even if you managed to find a higher amp power supply.. this is driven by losses over the line and LED power consumption, at 12v losses and consumption is high.. if you had lights that ran off 48v you get significantly longer runs of lights before dimming on the far end was noticeable. I digress.

If you have a lot your running together get yourself an amplifier. Jumper wires off the LED light strip go to the input, 12/24v is input into the amplifier, and an RGB output wires can then be ran back to the LED strip.

Next you’ll need an additional power supply to power
your amplifiers. I used a computer power supply.

Jumper cables and power from power supply to amplifiers was run with 18 gauge wire.

Alternatively you can buy an additional local power supply to every amplifier if it’s easier than one central. I used one central so I could plug in my controller and power supply into one outlet on the wall, I then used typical NM 600v cable to control the outlet with a switch on the wall. Gives the feel of a professional light install for a fraction of the price.

This post is for newbies. All experts, feel free to set the record straight for their (an my) benefit. I started with a couple Aerogardens where I learned a few basics - and then a ton of youtube videos before starting out. Still consider myself a novice, but a fellow redditor asked that I share my basic set up, so here goes.

I have a couple steel shelving racks 18 inches deep by 36 inches wide. Two bins fit each shelf with little wasted light. Three grow shelves and a top shelf for the airpump and power supply (where they'll never get wet). My grow area is in the basement where it is about 68 to 70 degrees. This is my first winter with this set up, so I'll be watching what happens in Jan-Feb (here in PA).

Each shelf has 2 20 by 15 by 7 inch restaurant dish bins as pictured. They hold 5 gallons of nutrient/water to start so the water just touches the bottom of the 2 inch net cups when putting in seedlings. Each bin has 12 grow holes and one smaller hole for the water indicator (a piece of styrofoam with a red line on it). The mark is to keep them topped up at about 4 gallons. I travel quite a bit so I needed something so simple a total novice could add premixed nutrient solution while I am gone. I use EcoPlus 8 port air pumps with 2 inch airstone, one in each bin. Bins with matching lids are from the Webstaurant store. Each dish unit costs about $25 including bin, air pump, airstone, tubing, net cups and of course the all important pool noodle slice. Not including the shelving. I found a complete mini unit (2.5 gallons and 11 tiny holes) on the web for about the same price which I am testing. That comes with an airpump, netcups, airstones and grow sponges so I will probably be recommending it to people who want to dip their toes into hydroponics and don't have/want-to use power tools.

The lights are self-made so that may not be much help. We use LED light strips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FDF5ZHD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share, 16 strips, on an aluminum sheet (glued to paneling for stability) with a 12-volt power supply. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LATMSGS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. The light boards are approximately 17 inches by 35 inches so they fit snugly into the crevice on the underside of the upper shelf. My sweetheart wanted to learn/practice his electrical skills, so that's what we're doing for now. The lights cost $81 for now with the LED strips being the most expensive part. We use some bungie cords to move the lights up and down in the shelf so I can start with about 3 inch clearance for seedlings up to a total grow height of 14 inches. Since the lights take a lot of work to build, I am studying other off-the-shelf alternatives. Totally a complete novice here.

On these shelves I grow arugula, brocculi raab, parsely, basil, spinach, kale, pak choy, chard, tatsoi and have just started attempts at red-veined sorrel and chicory. Some get too crowded at full growth, so not all 12 holes amy be in use at all times. I cover the holes when not in use so no algae grows and no plant bits fall into the bin.

I use General Hydroponics Flora series at the "mild vegetation" strength (1 tsp each of Floragrow, florabloom, floramicro per gallon). Of course, tiny seedlings are at half-strength till they have about 6 leaves. I use tap water (municipal). So far, only change the water and scrub/sanitize the bins between crops. About every 2 months.

I have started another shelf unit for cucumbers and peppers, but I am not far along in results enough that is worth sharing. That shelf has a 34-inch grow height and 2 Home Depot 12-gallon totes. Testing an Aputure Amaran AL-528W Daylight LED Flood Light , expensive but I can't expand until my sweetheart wants to devote the time to make more LED strip lights.

​

Hope this helps.

Things I

I have a 60A version of this running a icom IC-746pro. Way overkill, but it was loaned to me with the radio.
