The average 12 volt miniature light bulb is 60 mA (milliamps). LEDs take less, with 1 LED being 35 mA and 4 LEDs being 70 mA (or almost the equivalent to one miniature bulb). The more LEDs on a line, the less power each individual LED takes. I’ve provided the charts below for reference.
Novalyte Lamps:
1 light strip, can light, or tab = 35mA
2 light strip = 35mA
3 light strip = 45mA
4 light strip = 70mA
Cir-Kit Transformers (mA as reported by Cir-Kit Concepts):
CK1009A = 10 watts (1,000mA)
CK1009B = 5 watts (500mA)
CK1009D = 40 watts (4,000mA)
CK1009C = 20 watts (2,000mA)
CK1009F = 3 watts (300mA)
To determine transformer requirement:
Combine total number of mA in each lamp that will be on one transformer
Example if you were to use 5 of the 4 light Novalyte LED lamps (5 lamps x 70mA = 350mA) you would require the 5W transformer (500mA) or Cir-Kit model CK1009B.

I have not done electrical before, and want to use LED lights in my dollhouse. Do the LED lights require round wiring or copper tape wiring? I want to do copper tape, as it seems easier. The dollhouse has 7 rooms, 3 really large, plus kitchen, that would have more than one light per room. What do you suggest? Where can I find out how to wire the LED's? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
