I have no electrical background, so I have very basic knowledge about this, but this is what I can gather. So I'm trying to set up an led IP65 white strip, but I know that it needs certain components. Just to clarify, from the AC 220V wall socket, I have to connect it to the PSU/Adaptor (I have no idea which to use) first in order to change AC to DC, which then connects to the switch, then connects to the LED strip?

These are the lights I would like to use: LEDs

Requirements from the page: 12V, 7.4W per Meter.

You need a 12v, constant voltage power supply. The wattage depends on which model on that page you're using, but you'll need >36W or >72W, so a 50 or 100W supply would be reasonable.
