[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 109720, member: 32169"] I 'Googled' sikaflex and perspex to see what they were; never heard of them before. If the pixels will be 'sandwiched' I would think strips would be the best to use. I'm not sure whether 30 or 60 LEDS per meter though. Strips are approximately 10mm in width so that will be a limiting factor for their horizontal spacing. Creating your own sequences is not a problem but connecting to a midi can be. My understanding is not too many individuals use a midi device to control their sequences so that ability while built in is not thoroughly developed and/or tested. Event triggers from an external source initiate a sequence tied to that particular trigger. If you have in mind something like a mike or line input as the external source, I have not yet heard of anyone attempting that. As to the LED type, I would likely lean towards either a WS2812B (5 Volt) or WS2815B (12 Volt). The IP65 strip only has the coating on the face. The rear is double sided tape and the solder pads are not insulated so I would use the IP67 thinking the silicone tube would insulate the strip from the aluminum cladding and being silicone based not easily melt through from the heat. Not sure about mounting, possibly a 'U' shaped clamp at the top between the 1st and 2nd LED to capture the strip and a light spring tension at the bottom to help keep it aligned. Regarding wiring the strips, you are essentially creating a matrix and typically strips are daisy-chained vertically or horizontally with power injection along the top/bottom or left/right. Here is a link that will help with pixel matrices. [URL unfurl="true"]https://blog.canispater.com/tag/pixel-matrix/[/URL] [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
