Hi Alan (or anyone else who may be able to assist).
I have had your DMX36 for a couple of years and it has worked great. Initially my display was all single colour LED string lights, however over the past couple of years I have moved towards dumb RGB's. I note on the DMX36 documentation, it indicates a max of 5A per output. For one grouping, it has three channels plus one common +. Does this mean that the one common + has a max of 5A, or is it 5A per each individual channel (effectively 15A per grouping and common +).

I initially thought that it was 5A per grouping, however the documentation also says a max of 35A per zone. Each zone is made up of 3 groupings, which would only total 15A, if they were maxxed out at 5A per grouping.

I apologise in advance for the stupid question, but after doing this for a few years, my technical knowledge is still at beginner level.

Thanks
Craig

It's 5A per output with a max of 15 for any group of 3 and a further max of 30A for any of the 4 groups of 9.
