So finally after years of admiration for sequenced lights and about 12 years of doing plug and play. I, like many others before me, am taking the plunge this year. Ive watched, read and watched and read some more and I'm learning more than I ever could have imagined. Ive ordered my falcon (thanks Daryl for all your hard work with the bulk buy this year), have a couple of Meanwell PSU's and a few more on the way Now to actually buy the pixels.
Now I know there is a debate on 12v vs 5v and Ive decided on 12v. Ive been onto Ali express and found what I think Im looking for, but Im really hoping someone might be able to give me the tick of approval for the ones Ive chosen or steer me in the right direction for the ones I should be purchasing.
Also, it seems that dealing with Ray directly these days has its pro's and con's given how much the blinky community invests in him. Is it truly as simple as finding what you want in his store and sending the product/model number in an email. Is his email still ray@rita-light.com or has this changed? Hoping to save a few dollars on postage
So these are what Im looking at and
100nodes bullet regulated DC12V addressable 12mm WS2811 led pixel string;all BLACK 18AWG)wire,IP68;with 0.2m 13.5mm pigtail
Im looking to purchase around 3000 (omg who would have thought postage would be so expensive). My only modification to this would be an xConnect pigtails which I plan on specifying in my email.
So am I on the right track?
