Hey guys am looking at adding some more strip to the house using heap of spare strip waterproof ws 2811 12v and just wondering if I was to attach magnet strip at intervals directly underneath the strip will it affect the performance of the pixels in anyway?
Thinking it may be a simple way to attach to metal facia underneath my gutters ! Our lights are all up and running but may as well add some more I figured !
Thanks for any information
Cheers

If the magnets move relative to the strip it could cause issues. If it's firmly fixed relative to the strip then no problems. I'm actually doing the same thing.

Was unsure if the magnetc field would cause data issues or something like that !
Ok im going ahead as planned just got some self adhesive magnetic strip from bunnings 13mm wide and 10m length $16 thinking few cm pieces at intervals on the strip will see how it works
