| Strip load example | Calculated load | With 20 percent headroom | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 m at 4.8 W/m | 24 W | 28.8 W minimum | Round to a practical compatible driver rating after voltage and equipment checks. |
| 5 m at 9.6 W/m | 48 W | 57.6 W minimum | Headroom is spare capacity, not a solution for voltage drop or heat. |
| 10 m at 9.6 W/m | 96 W | 115.2 W minimum | Long runs may need feed, voltage-drop and installation review outside this table. |
| 5 m at 14.4 W/m | 72 W | 86.4 W minimum | The driver output type must match the strip type. |
| 10 m at 14.4 W/m | 144 W | 172.8 W minimum | Large strip loads need careful grouping and installation notes. |
| 5 m at 19.2 W/m | 96 W | 115.2 W minimum | High-output strip raises heat and driver capacity concerns before wiring decisions. |
