[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 117501, member: 32169"] I agree the cost difference you mentioned between a 500 pixel string versus 20 50 pixel strings does not sound right. While there would be a cost savings purchasing longer strings seldom is it that significant. If you post links, individuals here can help point out differences if any. I prefer Meanwell's RSP supplies rather the their LRS Series. The RSP Series in my opinion are of a better quality and have slightly better specifications. You may also look at using higher wattage supplies as compared to a greater number of smaller supplies; such as a RSP-1000-xx rather than RSP-320-xx supplies. I also, at least so far prefer a Falcon F4 over a F16. And for small displays there is also a RPi with a Pi-Hat. I have a RPi/Pi-Hat presently running a small Easter display; not too large, around a 1000 pixels (5 Volt). As LDL mentioned, you might consider purchasing from US vendors. RGB Man drop ships direct from China and is competative with Ray Wu. I have also purchased from Wally's Lights and Wired Watts. Other than RGB Man's direct shipping, everything is fairly quick and the few problems I've had were all quickly resolved. Last comment, I suggest not using the 12 Volt resistor pixels, use regulated pixels instead. They cost a bit more but they are more immune to voltage drop in the power injection cables. [/QUOTE]

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