5050 question

[DanoNJ]

Can I control a 5050 without DMX? In other words, can I just power each color independant of each other via a LOC DC board? Also, what voltage do these require?

 

[Tabor]

Yes Dano.

Just get the wiring correct, with the correct resistors for voltage drop.

voltages will be different for each colour, but I am sure someone will jump on with those figures.

The 5050 modules that are popular on PC right now are easily controlled with a dc controller and a 12v power supply. Nothing else required.

Thanks T and Chris.

The 5050 LED modules and strip are basically 3 x 5050 LEDs with resitors running at 12VDC so all that you require is the correct voltage and/or resistor values to be able to use these babies. Ask Smartalec all about it as he has played around a bit with the 5050 LEDs and he has cooked a few as well.
