In this vlog, we look at LEDs and breakers.

  • Why do my LEDs trip the breaker?
  • What type of breaker should be used with my LED strip lights?

Why are my leds tripping the breaker?

LED power supplies have something called an inrush current. This happens when the supply is initially turned on, and for a very short period of time there is a spike of power (much higher than the specified output of the power supply), which means this can trip some breakers.

You should check with a qualified electrician which breaker you should be using. We have a download from Meanwell that explains how many of each power supply model can be used on different types of breaker. You can see it here.

What type breaker to use for my LED strip lights?

Please check with any qualified electrician.

And again, check out our download from Meanwell that explains how many of which power supply can be used on which type of breaker.

Please note I am not a qualified electrician, so please do check with an electrician for any installations queries.
