ALITOVE 5V 15A AC to DC Power Supply Adapter Transformer Converter 5.5x2.5mm Plug 100V-240V AC Input for WS2811 2801 WS2812B LED Strip Pixel Light

Update 10-8-18: Customer service is working with me to resolve and diagnose the issues. Attaching the power to both ends appears to be solving the issue even without a capacitor as I had to use previously to get it partially functional. They have additionally sent me a working replacement of the two I purchased that have had no issues and did not require the power to be attached to both ends.I purchased two sets of these, returned the first one assuming I was just unlucky. The second set was not much better. Using an Arduino and WS2812B LED strips from same seller and I could get at most 1 change in color before they locked up, I assumed software or some other issue, but I had purchased a PS from them a couple of years ago and it worked fine, no problem even when voltage dropped near the end I could rapidly change the colors/brightness.I was able to get around the issue with the use of a capacitor on the newer ones, but I still could not go past about ~120 brightness depending on saturation before it would lock up while the older one (again same model) would do just fine at bright white, nothing else needed.Not sure if I'll settle or return and try a different brand, but after 4 and none working out of the box I would not recommend.

I own many Alitove products and keep coming back for more. All their products I've received have been flawless and this PSU is no different. I've been putting it under heavy load for a while now and it's working great. Highly recommended.

The unit I received has a noticeable ringing, whine noise during use* (with a ALITOVE 300 LED WS2812B strip). I knew going in that this 15A PSU could not fully push through 300 LEDs but this whining is noticeable at night while relaxing (I use the strip as a random variable mood light). Seller was contacted but perhaps did not understand my issue and tried to resolve the inability of driving the 300 LED strip.* [UPDATE]: Due to an issue with the LED strip bought with this PSU, ALITOVE quickly replaced both items. The new PSU is DEAD SILENT.NOTE TO BUYERS: ALITOVE is VERY good with their customer service and went above and beyond to be sure I was taken care of. I would recommend this PSU with one caveat, if your unit whines or rings during use, let ALITOVE know ASAP and they will take care of you.USAGE NOTE: My use case for this PSU is to drive a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VQ0D2TY/ via a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW1J10W/This strip is 300 LEDs and needs about 18~20 amps to deliver "Full White" at full brightness (and needs power on BOTH ends of the strip).If you purchase the same "package", just be aware of this limitation (a product of 5v IC LEDs). If your use is "mood/party lighting", this setup is wonderful

I bought this for a digital picture frame whose supply died. The original supply was rated for 5.0 VDC at 2A. The frame draws a maximum of about 1.25A when starting and about 1.0 A thereafter. This replacement supply is well above 5.0V without a load but drops to about 4.80V at 1.25A. This surprised me considering the supply is rated for 5A. The picture frame wouldn't complete its start-up routine because the voltage dropped that low. I experimented with a lab supply and found that the minimum voltage required at the picture frame is about 4.85V. Ultimately I bought an variable voltage supply and set it to 6V to run this picture frame. I suspect this device is very sensitive to low voltage and most devices devices would run fine with this converter.

Short review: This power supply is dangerous! Not only did it fail to deliver 80% load in optimal conditions, it also got stuck in an overheating fail state for at least an hour! The only good thing I can say is no fires or melting occurred.Long review: I purchased a 5V 10A version to replace a lab power supply for an 8 x 18650 battery tester. The peak current draw of this end device is 8.2 amps, verified on the lab power supply. I set the new power supply on the cold concrete thin side down and started all 8 channels, waiting 10 minutes to make sure nothing heated up excessively. I came back a couple hours later, the tester was cold and powered off and the power supply was painfully hot. Thankfully the batteries and tester were fine, based on the graph data the power supply failed shortly after I left and remained in that fail state for a long time. I'm glad my test setup was in the garage on a cold concrete slab, things could have played out differently if I tried this on carpet.

Had a power supply go bad on an appliance, this one worked perfectly.

Today the power supply failed after turning on my lights. As measured with a power meter my system uses 3.5A at full brightness - below the advertised 5A capacity.It might have to do with the instantaneous power draw when turning on. It had sustained my lights at full brightness before.The power supply lasted 3 years before failure with infrequent use.

I finally had the time to work on this projectthis power supply delivers the volt and amps but the plugin connector does indeed get hot like others have stated For my use i was going to cut the end off and solder the wires anyway so if you are a hobbiest this will work for you if you solder the wires
