Is is ok to wire a 12 volt led strip to an ac adapter? I am going to be mounting this on my bullet reloading press. I have several ac adapters laying around but not sure if its safe.

That is the strip I am planning on buying.

Is it safe/ok to do this?

Thanks!

Kev

If the AC adapter adapts the AC to 12vdc then it should be fine, assuming the AC adapter can safely provide the current that the LED strip needs.
