    Power injection approach with 5V WS2811 strings

    yeah, that's why I went with light factory, this year i'm using 33 universes.. a madrix license would be out of my budget, and so far lfp seems to be keeping up pretty well. also, you can easily make copies of features in lfp by copying an effect and selecting to offset your fixture count

    I've only been using lfp for about 2 weeks now, but i'd say one advantage it has is being able to easily organize channels into whatever group you want. I've setup groups with 1,000 channels just by typing in what range I want. In this manner its super easy to control large numbers of...
