Last christmas I used 2400 left of BigW Blue lights to create 8 strands of a half circle xmas tree. It was hooked into the AVD48 for some effects. It ran up to a star on the balcony and was secured with 3mm S.S coated wired anchored to the ground with pegs and cable tied to the balcony at the top.
After seeing some of the cool stuff done withthe RGB tree's I'm looking at building a similar design except with 16 strands.
So far, I'm looking to get:
1 * J1sys P12R (2040 pixels).
2 * 5v 350 Watt PSU's.
13 * http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/5m-WS2811-LED-digital-strip-60leds-m-with-30pcs-WS2811-built-in-the-5050-smd-rgb/701799_653641294.html
These will be cut to 4m lengths which will give 120 pixels per strand and 1920 pixels all up
Can anyone confirm if this will work o.k. or if there is a better method? As for viewing angle, the tree will be setback 3.0m from the fence at the base working towards 4m to the balcony. It will be in the centre of a 20m frontage. Not too sure yet on the mounting whether to go all conduit or steel flat bar. The conduit may get a little fiddly at the top. I still want to keep the half circle and not go full flat.
