[QUOTE="djgra79, post: 109730, member: 1447"] Strips are easier to install and give nice straight lines easily. I don't want to start the whole strip vs nodes argument but many have found out the repairs to strips, and keeping them weatherproof, is much more fiddly than nodes, where you can just snip out and solder in a replacement. If you are planning on sandwiching the lights between 2 layers of material, you're already making it even more difficult for on the go repairs. Remember also, pixel lighting data runs in 1 direction. So if there happens to be a break or fault half way through or near the start of your data chain, all lights thereafter will not work. This doesn't mean you need to replace them all, just repair is likely at the 2-3 nodes/pixels that are working and not. And if you turn up to an event and half the side of the van doesn't work, can you easily access the issue to repair quickly before your artist is ready to go? Which reminds me, always carry spares!

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