Hello all, I'm hoping to confirm that this will work. Photos attached.
Simply put, I want to connect five 12V devices to the same DC power supply, but it only has 3 banks. Three of the plugs will go to inject power in 5Meters of WS2811, they each draw 6.17A (or 18.5A), the fourth connector will go to a 12V IP camera that draws 1A and the fifth connector will connect to the pixel controller and also power a smaller set of WS2811 LEDS ( around 1.5A). The total load on the 30A PSU would be about 21A, but can I have a device (such as the web camera) that draws 1A connected to the same bank as the 5 meter strip of WS2811 that draws ~6+ amps? Will the PSU just compensate and send out ~7+ or will this get electrically ugly? I don't want to overload the IP camera
