Building a mega tree. 32 strings of 150 pixels. Using a Falcon F16v3 and a expansion board. Trying to figure out power supply issue and not sure if my calculations are correct or if there is a better way to wire this.
The Falcon board will take 2 power supplies and has 16 outputs with 5amp fuses. Same for the expansion board. This gives me 32 outputs with 5amp fuses.
150 pixels at full power .06 multiplied by 150 pixels would be 9amps, over running the 5 amp fuses but if I ran at 30% power I believe I would be at 4amps or less on each fuse.
The general concinsuse I am getting is that everyone is running there mega tress at approximately 30% power.
So my question is would this work or am I looking at it wrong or is there a better way?
