I am working on a project with LED strips that would consume 12V and 20A. The problem is that the household wall outlet limitation is 15A, and 20A current draw would potentially start a fire. I have been searching for tutorials of large current LED project, and none of them really addresses the current draw problem.

I found an adequate power supply. It is Meanwell RSP-320-12. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Mean-Well/RSP-320-12/?qs=Uzd%2Fwh%252bZzhBChmc2p7rgKQ%3D%3D.

How can I make it work with a 15V15A wall outlet limitation?

Thanks in advance!
