 | {{:docs:exclamation.png?100|}} | **IMPORTANT WARNING**:  Please note, we recommend using our recommended Power supplies to ensure the safety and reliability of your BLOX. Good quality power supplies ensure good, clean power to the controller. Avoid power supplies marketed as "LED power supplies" as they tend to lack filtering/protection circuitry, that can result in fatal power surges that can destroy your BLOX. Use of other power supplies may affect your warranty.  | | {{:docs:exclamation.png?100|}} | **IMPORTANT WARNING**:  Please note, we recommend using our recommended Power supplies to ensure the safety and reliability of your BLOX.
