I've made a slight change to the power options on the Baldrick 8 ready to run pixel controller on my site. I have removed the 5V 400W option as that is the option that requires vent holes installed and where would be convenient may not be where I'd put them. There's 3 options where the power supply is fitted.
The 12V 500W waterproof supply that is probably enough to run about 2000 "resistor" pixel nodes at 100% brightness or the full 3000 if using 12V seed pixels or is setting the brightness to under about 65%.
The 5V 200W supply could run 800-1000 5V bullet nodes at 100% brightness or 3000 at 33% brightness. 3000 5V seed pixels at 100% brightness.
The 15 60W supply is for when "data only" is being supplied by the Baldrick and a power supply close to the prop is used.
5V bullet nodes use the full 55mA for 100% white that WS2811 pixels are designed for. 12V "resistor" pixels are about 1/2 that and even less as the voltage falls off along a string. Seed pixels are the lowest current of the lot. The brightness of a pixel is directly dependent on the current. A 5V bullet node at 100% is about double the brightness of a 12V "resistor" bullet node. The differing currents is why the number of pixels can be powered by a given current capacity power supply.
The ready to run Baldrick controllers allow you to be controlling pixels literally within minutes of getting the controller.

As well as having lots of stock of the Baldrick 8 I also have stock of the Baldrick Switchy, DMX and Input1. I have vast quantities of 2 and 3 core pigtails in Ray Wu and Xconnect pinout, vast quantities of the 2 core pigtails to suit the fairy and icicle lights from Big W etc, dozens of boxes, dozens of cable glands and waterproof RJ45 connectors, plenty of power supplies in 5V, 12V, 24V and 31V. I have just finished off making up a batch of Power8 fused distros and have just about all other variations of my distros in stock or in production.
I have lots of stock but a very finite amount of time currently to build any stock. Most days between now and December I am mostly just packing parcels.
