    Lightbulb Led Strip on 24vdc port?

    Hello guys:


    I am looking to install 2 led strips led lights on my sump, and was wondering if I can use the 24VDC ports on the APEX 2016 for that purpose?
    Is there any way I can turn on and off those ports from Apex Fusion?

    Is it a bad idea to use those ports for led lighting? I am sure the led strip is no more than 100ma or something like that.


    Anyone did this before?

    You can as long as you dont exceed 36W on a single 24V port, and dont exceed 100W on all 1link and 24V ports. You also need to make sure that the LED strip is 24V and doesnt require a driver.

    The max load for a DC24 port is 30 watts, not 36.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    You control each 24VDC outlet with an outlet tile, same as you do for the 120VAC outlets. They'll be in the hidden tiles area.
