Not sure where you can get them, but there are these which are 5v 40a, and there is a 12v version available. 21 x 6 x 3cm. Also do you have an email for AC-WB? I can't find it on their website.

I have a roll of dumb rgb strip, 4 wire, and I was thinking of cutting it into sections of 5-10 leds and wrapping around a thin tree trunk, so that each ring going up the tree can be individually controlled. Has anyone cut open a pixel and replaced the LED with a short length of led strip?

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for software to run this hub75 board, and a dedicated raspberry pi, connected over ethernet. I would like to set it up as a virtual matrix in Xlights. https://www.electrodragon.com/product/rgb-matrix-panel-drive-board-raspberry-pi/

Where is everyone getting their enclosures? I've looked around and I can't find anything big enough that isn't super expensive.

So I have done some experimenting: Luckily, these power supplies don't have much voltage sag under load, under no load I measured 4.82v, and under around 30a of load, I measured 4.75v. For testing I used an Arduino Nano, running FastLED outputting full brightness white, and on its own 5v power...

I'm a 16-year-old who recently found this hobby. I am slowly learning and will hopefully have figured out enough to put on a show this Christmas.

That's good to hear, I will probably power inject every 50 pixels. I'm going to make extensions with ethernet cable meaning 0.75mm2 cable from the power supply to the prop (max distance 5 metres) would that cause problems?

I found a bunch of 40a and 60a power supplies for free but they are 4.2v. I played around with the voltage adjustment and they can go up to 4.8v, would I be able to use these power supplies for my pixels?
