Ok so now I have officially confused myself again.
I have a Falcon F16v4 controller and a SRX1 Smart Receiver. These are powered from a Meanwell 600 watt 12 volt power supply.
When I set these up in the Xlights Visualiser and add the props to the outputs, its shows that they use 6.5amp for approx 500-600 leds at 30% (for example). When I hook the lights up to the outputs and test them (either through Xlights or simply using the test button on the smart receiver) they go through the test sequence, no problem. Where my confusion lies is that the specs for the F16 say that the max per output is 5A and 30A for the whole bank.
So why don't the fuses blow? I cant see any way that you can run 1024 leds and stay under the 5A limit. I'm obviously misunderstanding something and having read the 101 manual, I don't think I am looking at this correctly.
Any clarification would be of great help.
