HI Everyone,
I plan to build two new mega trees one for our shop and one for our display, im plan to build it using the megatree calculator from lightshowhub.
It will be 8 metres tall and 3 metres wide at the bottom with a 200 mm gap from the ground to the first pixel the top ring 500 mm it will be a 270 degree tree. The calculator represents well with those specs.
The calc shows the strings to have 150 pixels at 2 inch spacing as im using the mega tree strips from boscoyo.
The power consumption is in the range of 2250 watts for all 50 strings.
Do you think 50 strips will fit on the tree as it stands as i said the calculator seems to fit them on with no problems.
Power supplies if i use a 350 watt will need around 6-7 of them.
My biggest concern is the old question should i use 5volts or go with 12 volts i think the only concern would be the amount of power injection, are there any pros or cons for either?
Any advice would be welcomed.
