12v led strips on quadcopter
« on: January 21, 2017, 05:03:36 pm »
Hello. I just ordered 4 12v led strips for my quadcopter and planning to connect it to my pdv 12v bec connections. I am using a 3c 2200mah lipo. Will the lights drain my battery too quickly? Should i only consider 2 strips instead of all 4? Thank you

LEDs are really really energy efficient. I'd bet you could let them on for days on that battery. Use all 4 :)

If you want, check out the mA usage of the LEDs and find out their actual power usage that way, but I bet it'll be an unnoticable amount like 100ma total or something like that.
