I am planning on starting this project with my son and had a question about the requirements for the power supply. In this post here https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/le … 1585417086#, it suggests we use a power source with at least 5V and 4A, but for the best results to use a 6V 8A power source. I don’t know what exactly to get. Can someone post a link to some power source suggestions to use? I am going to go with the 6V 8A suggestion.
Finding a 6 volt 8 amp power supply might not be that easy to do.
A better solution would be to use a 5 volt power supply since those are easier to source. We don’t have a good fit for a power supply unfortunately and the closest thing we have would be our [5 volt 20 amp supply. I’d recommend that and powering the LED strip with separate wires at both ends of the strip.
If you’re able to find a 6 volt 8 amp supply, that should work too, but I still recommend powering the strip at both ends with separate power wires.](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14098)
