Hey all,
Starting last year, I incorporated a decent mix of 2811 pixels and dumb nodes/elements in my display. For the "dumb" stuff, I ran everything off of DC15 or DC30 controllers from AAH, which are awesome. I had four of the DC30 controllers, all of which were used to power 100 count bullet-style pixels, one per set of outputs. My question is... I fully understand power injection on the 2811 stuff that I run... but I'm curious if there is a way to run multiple strings off of one output from a standard DC controller... For instance... I have an oak tree and right now I am using a single DC30 controller to light up 10 strings of the 100 count dumb nodes in that one tree... could I put 20 strings of the 100 count dumb nodes in that tree and use power injection somehow?
The 100 count strings draw around 2.4A each with white on...
This question would probably be applicable to the 27 channel controllers from Ray Wu, etc... hence I chose to post it here instead of in AAH's sub-forum.
One last note that is DC30-specific is that I replaced the 10A stock fuse with the max 30A fuse. 10 outputs drawing maximum of 2.4A each is 24A total.
Thanks!
