IKEA LED light strips wired directly into 12V - need resistor?

samedi 20 septembre 2014

Any electricians out there?



I'm installing Ikea LED light strips (STRIBERG LED light strip - IKEA) under the cabinets in my 2003 Airstream.



The lights come with a transformer made to plug into a 110V outlet. Instead of using this transformer, however, I'm hardwiring the lights directly into my trailer's 12V system. Do I need a resistor in my LED circuit?



If it helps, the Ikea LED Driver that I'm not using is the SLT6-12VLS(UL). Class 2.

Input: 110-120VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.14A

Output: DC12V, max 500mA, 0.5-6W

DC700ma, max 8.5V



Does the driver have a resistor built-in which I need to compensate for since I'm NOT using the 110V to 12V driver (transformer) but have instead wired the lights directly to 12V? The lights work great wired directly into 12V - I'm just concerned about premature burnout if I need a resistor and don't install one.



Your help would be greatly appreciated.
