[QUOTE="LawrenceDriveLights, post: 117499, member: 27185"] Hi swampgator, great post and some good questions. 3 inch spacing will work well for a house outline. No real difference between ordering the 500 continous string or the 50 or 100 count strings, you will find yourself cutting the strings anyway to suit your props. If you was looking to order 700 pixels and if you are in the USA I would consider using one of the USA re-sellers like; Wallys Lights Wired Watts etc Or as you mentioned Ray Wu is a well known pixel vendor, plus there is also others listed in the ACL Wiki, so you have lots of options in that regard. The meanwell PSU you can order also from some of those USA vendors, or direct from [URL='http://www.arrow.com']www.arrow.com[/URL] or [URL='http://www.mouser.com']www.mouser.com[/URL] If USA based I would personally order the Boscoyo mounting strip Falcon F16vs is a great controller and would certainly work and have lots of room for expansion, just be aware there is a new Falcon F16v4 coming out soon (no actual dates released). Yes you will need some extra supplies for example pigtails, I would recommend using the popular xconnect type Plus the extra supplies you mentioned A Rasp pi, when loaded with FPP will work as a show player / scheduler, also remember xLights also has xschedular if you have a spare PC / laptop to run your dispaly You may want to think about FM transmitter to broadcast your music to viewers car radios Also check out the ACL chat feature as there is normally someone about who may be able to provide some advise also and or course dont forget to download the ACL 101 manual etc [/QUOTE]

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