[QUOTE="ab, post: 91731, member: 25133"] HI, I have a number of 12v pixel strips that I wanted to daisy chain this year, in order to save on controller (advatek pixlite 4) outputs. Some strips are up to 7 meters apart and I am providing direct 12v power injection at the beginning of each strip. Unfortunately the strip on the farthest end of the chain is not working (apart from a few LEDs flickering). As I am providing dedicated power injection I am currently thinking this is something to do with the Data signal not being transmitted correctly to the farthest strip. Is it necessary to use dumb pixels between strips that are 7m apart in order to ensure that the data signal is generated correctly? I tried to test by creating a single pixel strip and connected between the existing larger strips but it did not seem to make any difference. At the moment I have had to temporarily use a separate dedicated controller output to get my farthest strip working but this is not ideal. Any advice on what I might be missing? Thanks. [/QUOTE]

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