[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 117511, member: 32169"] As Dan indicated, no real difference in the pixels; Wire colors in the one, connectors and shipping the other. Doing the math only about a penny difference in cost per pixel between the two. i13 mentioned wire size. I suggest making sure that the wire size is 18 AWG avoiding anything smaller and if the wire size is not indicated it almost certainly will be smaller. I initially purchased a few strings with smaller AWG size and while they can be made to work, it is a 'pain' to do so. I use US vendors because for some odd reason my financial entity will not let me purchase China direct. RGB Man drops ships most everything so he has minimal stock, mostly only what is necessary to fix delivery type problems. Depending upon how one looks at advantages, you would have someone in a near time zone with a US phone number to resolve any problems. And perhaps in some cases, a language barrier. And while it may seem odd, a few China vendors have a presence on Amazon. I purchase (some, not all I use) connectors and 12 Volt WS2815 strip from BTF Lighting. Paul Zhang has 12 Volt WS2811 resistor 18 AWG 4 inch spacing 100 count pixel string there too. Not quite as economical as direct but close. [/QUOTE]

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