I have two led strips used for 2x27" monitor bias lighting. Each have their own USB cables for power. These two USB cables are plugged into a 2-port wall charger for a phone. I would like to use a 2x female to 1x male adapter to join the two USB cables into one, then plug it into a much smaller 1-port USB wall charger. The reason is due to my space constraints.

Will doing this impact its energy efficiency, ie using an adapter like this?

Wow awesome, thank you for the info and resources! I have to follow the links later but I really appreciate the reply.

I don’t think OP’s strips have pixel control since in my experience you wouldn’t have a separate USB power line that bypasses the controller like OP is describing, but now am curious and hope they follow up.
