Battery Powered LED Lights

[DenisHurley]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, but you seem like a very informed group and I'm hoping you can help me... I have an LED controller that responds to music. Pretty simple: you plug the controller into the wall (DC12-24V), plug the LED lights into the controller, and place a speaker next to the controller. I really need to make this unit mobile, and I am very new to the maker/DIY thing. Is there a portable battery pack that can power this rather than plugging it into the wall?

Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide...
Denis

you plug the controller into the wall (DC12-24V)

You mean into a 12/24V power supply which is plugged into the wall?
I´d make a proper cable and connect it to a 12V battery.
Remember to properly fuse it.

One issue will be power consumption, to calculate battery life.

There should be a rating plate on the mains unit which will show the power consumption. Maybe even the output current and voltage. Post back what it says, or upload a pic, as well as the make and model of the rig.
