One of the most common questions we’re asked is:
“What size LED adaptor do I need for my inflatable?”
The good news is — it’s actually very simple once you know what to look for. You’ll need an adaptor capable of running your blower fan and LEDs combined.
✅ Step 1 — Check the blower fan label
Open the zip at the bottom of your inflatable, peek inside at the inflatable blower. There should be a label where you’ll usually see something like:
- 0.8A
- 1.0A
- 1.25A
- 1.5A
- 2.0A
This number tells you how much current (amps) the fan needs to run properly.
💡 The LEDs use very little extra power compared to the fan, so the fan rating is the best guide.
✅ Step 2 — Choose an adaptor that is one size higher
To keep everything running comfortably, choose an adaptor slightly higher than the fan’s rating.
This gives:
✔️ extra allowance for the LEDs
✔️ less heat in the adaptor
✔️ longer adaptor lifespan
✔️ stable brightness and fan speed
🔍 Example
If your blower says:
- 1.0A fan
Choose:
- 1.25A or 1.5A adaptor
If your blower says:
- 1.5A fan
Choose:
- 2.0A adaptor
⚠️ What not to do
🚫 Don’t choose an adaptor lower than the fan rating
(e.g., 1.0A adaptor on a 1.5A blower)
This can cause:
- fan not fully inflating the inflatable
- dim or flickering LEDs
- adaptor overheating
- adaptor failure
🔌 Voltage still must match
Always match the voltage exactly (e.g., 12V with 12V, 24V with 24V).
The amps can be higher, but the voltage cannot be different.
⭐ Quick Size Guide
- 0.8A fan → 1.0A or 1.25A adaptor
- 1.0A fan → 1.25A or 1.5A adaptor
- 1.25A fan → 1.5A or 2.0A adaptor
- 1.5A fan → 2.0A adaptor
