[ElectriciansForums.net] low current draw on strip lighting
 
TL;DR
hi all 2835 led 12v
22L/m 2a inline fuse holds up
rated at 14w/m,6 strings hooked in parallel
should be pulling at least 25 amps according to the specs but it’s been connected to a 12v60ah battery for the whole day just to triple check the results (also used tongs)
the light output is fine

Might be worth checking the voltage at the LED strips when the are on? Looking at the second photo there are some test points where you could measure the voltage.
