Prusa i3 Mk3 Connect LED light to EINSY

Is it possible to connect an LED light with approx. 10 watts to the lower connections of the ENSY?

Is that an LED spotlight? Most LEDs are a few milliwatts.

Give it a separate power supply. I used a buck converter for mine; same one that powers my Pi 3B.

Please post an image of the connections you're referring to. Input voltage of MK3 is 24V! Check your LED strip voltage requirements.

I would like to have the https://www.amazon.de/About1988-DC12-24V-Lichtleiste-innenlösungen-Multicolor/dp/B07K7MNTQP/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1FI27BIMSFMCE&keywords=20+id=152479 cob + 24% 2Caps% 2C170 & sr = 8-8 connected. Can I do that or is it dangerous for the one board

It’s not damage to the Einsy to worry about, those are the input connections iirc, it’s can the psu that powers everything handle the extra 10W power draw from the leds without a problem. Some consider the rating on the psu to be marginal to start with so personally I’d say don’t bother. Either get a proper dedicated power supply for your leds or you could upgrade the existing psu with something like a Meanwell 320W unit that can handle the extra load required.

The power supply is able to handle MMU2 in addition, so if you don't have MMU2 on top, then it should be fine to draw additional 10W from here.
