Choose a power supply with a wattage rating that meets or exceeds the total wattage of the connected LED tape, while allowing some capacity for stable operation. Match the supply to the tape’s voltage and consider whether the installation uses RGB control, CCT white tuning, or multiple independent runs.

Linear lighting systems use low-voltage, constant-voltage power, with LED drivers typically supplying 24 V DC and separate control modules accepting either 12 V DC or 24 V DC. Available driver capacities include 30 W, 72 W, and 100 W, while control modules require a Class 2-rated power supply and may require installation in a listed enclosure when the load exceeds Class 2 limits.

Linear lighting can connect to wireless lighting control systems through a compatible LED driver or three-channel dimming module that communicates over Zigbee. After integration, the LED load can join lighting scenes and custom programming, allowing users to adjust dimming, RGB color, or tunable white settings through compatible controls.

Integrated linear lighting drivers combine the LED power supply and three-channel wireless control in one module, which can simplify connections for RGB, CCT, or single-channel dimming applications. Separate control modules provide the wireless LED control without a built-in power supply, so they require a compatible 12 V DC or 24 V DC constant-voltage supply and can offer more flexibility in power-supply selection.
