G'day Everyone,
I have become very interested in lighting my house since last year stumbling across using a strip of WS2812B lights which I put on my fascia at Christmas and got excited.
I had all intentions of ramping it right up this year and starting early, but an out of town contract has meant I do not have a lot of time to get things going and I am only back in town for 3 weeks with a hold up on site and am trying to piece some things together.
Really hoping for some hope before I press the button on an order I am doing from Ray Wu's Store where I want to use the WS2811 icicles under the soffit at the front of the house, where I will require 5 sets joined together.
These are the ones:

Then Ray has recommended this power supply:

Also a pack of these for power injection (Not quite sure on how):

Then I want to use a simple controller like the SP108E (I know, boring compared to what you guys are doing but baby steps)
My question (or questions) is: Am I on the right track with components for this? Is the power supply suitable? How many power injections?
If you guys could help that would be much appreciated. I have tried doing some homework on this and unfortunately electronics is something I don't know a lot about but I know I will as time goes on and I am going to persevere until I get a lighting show setup, hopefully with all the bells and whistles.
Thanks
Wheels
