Hello, I'm trying to put permanent leds on my home, mainly for Christmas. The setup I want is basic. I have already bought the main components. I have 17 (5 Meter) 5V BTF branded SK6812 RGBW that are 30 LEDs per meter, and a Quinled Dig Quad v3 controller plus all the wiring and brackets needed to wire them up. What power supply to get for my setup?
I bought 279 feet and will need approximately 240 feet. I don't mind getting a power source for ALL 279 feet. According to their website, the strips I bought use 9W per meter. So that means I will need 765W for all 17 strips and if my math is right, I need a power supply that can withstand 153 amps (please check my math). What DC power supply is recommended for what I need? They say you should get a bigger power supply than what you need so you won't over load anything, should I go bigger?
Also, if you guys recommend multiple power sources for whatever reason, or any pros and cons to what I'm trying to ask, please let me know.
