[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 110406, member: 29098"] I'll be the first to jump in about strip. I keep hearing that it is a pain to waterproof and repair. That's all I have to say about strip in terms of form. 60 LEDs a meter is going to be a big power draw! [[URL='https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32943534376.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.1.3bb04665uSjgl1']This listing[/URL]] is for 60LED/meter but tells us the wattage for 72LED/meter...... After some calculations to factor for 60LED/meter: 16 meters that is 16 amps. With the small wires inside of the strip you'd be power injecting every few meters with thick wire. - (assuming brightness would be 100%). Calculating down to 60LED/meter for 16 meters is about 16 amps. It will look amazing though! [SPOILER="Calculations"] 72LED/Meter = 14.4 watts per meter. 14.4 watts ÷ 12 volts = 1.2 amps per meter. ---Factoring for 60LED/meter--------- 1.2 amp/meter [72LED] ÷ 72 = 0.0166... 0.016 amp [per node] × 60 = 1 amp per meter 1 × 16 meters = 16 Amp Nice round numbers!! [/SPOILER] [USER=26913]@ChasingTraction[/USER] above has more experience than me in each controller. My first thought is for a Falcon since you're in the United States and it's cheaper for you.

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