[QUOTE="djgra79, post: 133312, member: 1447"] 12v vs 5v is one of those loaded questions. Each has its pros & cons. My advise would be choose one voltage for your display and try to stick to it. If you must have both voltages (which many controllers can support) just make sure to be vigilant and take measures to both identify what are 5v and 12v leads and use different connectors for both to prevent accidental 12v into 5v issues. For what it's worth, I was 12v at first as I thought it was "easier" (less power injection) but once I was advised of the wasted power of 12v and wasn't scared of power injection, i've been switching over to 5v for the last few years with minimal 12v remaining in the display.

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