So I have figured out that my LED strips work at 5V, so I know I need a 5V power supply. However in terms of amperage I have figured out that each LED can draw a max of 60 miliamps so that means in a 60 LED strips, like i have, it can draw a max of 3.6 amps. So for one LED strip i only like a 4 amp power supply however if i'm going to use enough strips to go around my room, that'll be a fair number so i might as well go with a 30 amp power supply just to be careful.
