    Hello ,

    I have the 48 led rapid led kit.. with meanwell drivers and rapid led controller

    I was wondering if there are any types of power strips or timers that could damage or break your led's or drivers?

    I thought I read something like that a little while ago.. and if this is true.. I wouldnt want to make that mistake because an led setup is too much money to make a stupid mistake like that.

    Please let me know.. thanks.

    No timer will damage a meanwell driver that I am aware of.

    On the other hand, you can fry a timer if it is not a heavy duty one rated for the load.
