Hey guys,
I want to know how to run the AC power on 2 drivers. Do I just hook up AC cords to each driver with the water resistant connectors or is there another way so that both drivers can run off one plug.
this is same as the 5x5 strip build for the LT-FB24B. Appreciate any help I can get.

Hey. Just wire up the drivers AC input sides to the power cable in parallel. Triple check the wiring and color matching. Don't overload the capacity of your cable when doing this, some are good for 10 amps. Your pictured build should be fine with those 2 drivers. If you want them through a nice water resistant connector, try these style junction boxes.

Hey Man, really appreciate the response.
Do you think I can get away with 16 gauge 13Amp wires

Or get the 14 gauge 15Amp wire? I understand the system could pull up from 13-15amps

Those connectors look really good, just what I needed!

Either of those should work just fine for your application.
