    Benefit to doubling up PSU connection?

    Thanks, That's what I was hoping. I cut some extension cords for this cabling, it should be 16 gauge braided at a minimum, most likely 14. I've got good crimpers and connectors to double these up. Thanks for the advice!

    Benefit to doubling up PSU connection?

    I've got a 12V PSU running to a 6 way fuse box, then that to my DC barrel connectors and out to the LEDS with various injection points. Right now I have one cable running from the V+ and one from the V- running to the fuse block. Is there any added benefit (or bad idea) to running a second...

    Any experience with RGBW + UV addressable lights?

    Thanks, I did the same. Apparently, this supplier is able to replace the white SMD with UV SMD. So I'm assuming when I send a white channel it will come out as UV. I'm okay with that and these will be for an indoor portion of space, so low light is fine. Hopefully, I can make this happen, if...

    Any experience with RGBW + UV addressable lights?

    I wanted to experiment incorporating UV LEDs into projects and a manufacturer says this strip has UV capabilities: LINK I'm not sure if anyone else had any experience with "Black Light / UV" addressable LED strips. I'd like to avoid 5V if possible for longer runs. Thanks ... My pixel...

    Can I do this? (5x DC barrel plugs on a 3 bank 30A 12V DC PSU)

    I know the first few I ordered were 22AWG and that wasn't going to work, the one's I use now are 18AWG. I pulled this design from when I used multiple power supplies with similar barrel connectors for LED lights. If they can't handle 6 or 7 amps, then it must be bad design.

    Can I do this? (5x DC barrel plugs on a 3 bank 30A 12V DC PSU)

    Correct, sorry for not including LED specs. It's 60 pixels per meter in groups of three.

    Can I do this? (5x DC barrel plugs on a 3 bank 30A 12V DC PSU)

    I could, it is more to have the flexibility to have the intensity at full. I would assume if the intensity is at 60% this would be less of an issue.

    Can I do this? (5x DC barrel plugs on a 3 bank 30A 12V DC PSU)

    Thanks for getting back. The three 5M rolls of WS2811 do get power from the pixlite which is mounted next to the DC power supply, but I've been testing the voltage at the end of the 5 Meter strip and it's dropping from 12V to the low ~9V when it displays white. Simply injecting power to the...

    Great, thank you. My reasoning for this is to keep everything compact. I could go the blade fuse route for the 1A to the IP camera, but I'm using the Pixlite 4 MKII and it already has four 7.5amp fuses for the LEDs. Does this change the way you'd set it up?

    Can I do this? (5x DC barrel plugs on a 3 bank 30A 12V DC PSU)

    Hello all, I'm hoping to confirm that this will work. Photos attached. Simply put, I want to connect five 12V devices to the same DC power supply, but it only has 3 banks. Three of the plugs will go to inject power in 5Meters of WS2811, they each draw 6.17A (or 18.5A), the fourth connector...
