    If you have a J1sys controller most of them now have the firmware update that will perform a fantastic strobe effect on your pixel strings. personally I got 300 of the ws2811 white only strings from raywu as they are brighter that using rgb color mixing although the j1sys will support doing...

    Problems with Ray Wu?

    ECG-P2 Strobe Software (and P12R, P12S ....)

    ECG-P2 Strobe Software (and P12R, P12S ....)
