I couldn't really find a concrete answer on this but I think I know the right answer.
I'm outlining my roof this year in 12V INK1003 5m pixel strips (600 pixels total) and I plan to inject power at the end of each strip (there are 4 strips connected in series along the roofline).
Since my roofline is long, I plan to use 2-3 different power supplies located at each strip to inject power instead of trying to inject power from one power supply possibly 60ft away to the last strip.
The question I have though is: to ensure all power supplies have the same ground, do I simply run a wire to connect all the power supplies ground together? I have some 16/4 security wire that I plan on using and I think that would be sufficient to tie all the grounds together.
I'm sure this question has been asked somewhere but I couldn't find it upon searching and I just want to be safe than sorry. Thank you guys in advance!
