Can you power multiple AC Infinity lights from a single wall adapter?

Hi,

I have some AC Infinity lights, which each have their own AC power supply.

I'm wondering if there's some way of wiring up a higher current power supply (with the same output voltage), and multiple connectors, to power multiple lights from a single power point? (Instead of having say, 5-10 giant wall plugs all sitting in a row).

Each power supply is rated for 24.0V / 1.5A (centre positive):



The end is some kind of DC barrel connector - it's around 5mm in diameter:




Does anybody know if something like this is possible? Or have you tried something like this before?

Thanks,
Victor

What kind of lights are you using?

Hi,

These are AC Infinity Ionbeam lights that come bundled with the AC-HDL7 humidity dome.

According to the spec sheet there, they are 36W lights.

I think they might be the Ionbeam S16, if that helps.

It's pretty straightforward, but may be too tedious to be worthwhile.
An example for 5 lights would be...

ELG-150-24 driver
10 position barrier terminal strip with a common bar
5 barrel connectors with tinned wire ends
12 fork terminal connectors

Split the common bar and make 5 common 24V and 5 common grounds on the driver side.
Connect the 24V from the driver to the first five commons and ground to the second five commons.
Put the fork terminals on the barrel connector wires and then secure to the proper spot on the other side of the barrier terminal strip.

There's literally no point in fucking with it just to avoid a few plugs

Wait all this hassle for 36 watt lights lol i assumed we were talking atleast 100watt led lights lol why risk a fire just buy multiple power strips with 12 outlets each and have them rated for 18amps youll be good
