Core principle of switching power supply: Safety first Before starting any operation, be sure to disconnect all relevant power supplies and ensure that the installation and wiring work is done without power.

1. Selecting the Right Power Supply: · Power (W): Ensure the power supply's rated output exceeds the combined power of all connected devices (e.g., LED light strips, cameras, etc.) by at least 20-30%. For example, if your light strip consumes 80W in total, choose a 100W or higher power supply. This margin prevents overloading and extends service life. · Voltage (V) and Current (A): Verify that the power supply's output voltage and current specifications fully match your equipment requirements (e.g., 12V DC, 24V DC).

2. Prepare tools and materials: · Screwdriver, wire stripper, electrical tape or heat shrink tube · Tie band (for fixing cables)

3.  Installation Planning: · Avoid low-lying waterlogged areas: Do not install in rainwater-prone locations. · Ensure proper ventilation: Power units generate heat during operation; install in well-ventilated areas and avoid completely sealed enclosures without dedicated cooling systems (unless equipped with specialized cooling designs). · Protect from direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure accelerates aging and internal overheating. · Ensure accessibility: Install within easily accessible locations for future inspections and maintenance.

In short, before installing LED power supply, we must: "Select the right power, place it in the right location, connect the right lines, and strictly follow the product manual and operation. Your outdoor electrical safety can be guaranteed to the maximum extent. If you are not confident in your electrician skills, it is strongly recommended to hire a professional electrician for installation.
