I Need of Help Connecting LED Strips

[Smelliot]

Hello,
I have just purchased some LED strips from Amazon (link below), and I was wondering whether I could connect them up by firstly using a timer plug, followed by a 2-way plug.
The timer would be plugged into a wall socket.

The LED Strips: Tingkam Waterproof 1M 60 led 5050 White Color led Strip Lights Black Flexiable PCB With Connector DC 12V Under Cabinet Led Strip Ideal: Amazon.co.uk: Lighting

If you have any other questions regarding my plan, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Smelliot

plug-in timer. then plug the LED PSU in after connecting the 12V plug to the red/black from the psu. note + and - must be the right way round. they're marked on the 12V plug.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Maybe I should have been more clear. What I am really asking is whether it would be safe to run two 12 volt plugs from the timer and a 2-way plug. As the LED strips will be left on for roughly 7 hours a day, I don't want to cause a fire or overload the wall socket.

ah, if i read that correct, you want to plug in a timer, then plug in a 2 way extn. lead then plug in 2 LED PSUs each feeding a LED strip.

 

[Smelliot]

Yes, that's correct.

Will that overload the socket? Or will it be OK?
The Amazon link gives the voltage and wattage of each LED strip.

 

[telectrix]

it will be fine. don't use an adaptor, use a short 2 way extension lead. you can replace the fuse in the extension lead plug with a 5A.
