[QUOTE="i13, post: 68273, member: 21708"] Hi GCAllan and welcome to ACL You are correct that the lights will not draw as much current unless they are on full white. Having said that, dimmed white might be full white pulsing very quickly so it appears dim (getting a bit beyond my knowledge). Also be aware that it is always best to measure the current draw yourself if you haven't already. You can power some of the pixels through the PixLite 16 but you don't have to. I don't own a PixLite and I am having a bit of difficulty determining what is what in your diagram but can hopefully still answer your questions. I would connect the negative outputs from the PixLite 16 directly to the pixel sets and not use a bus bar. You don't have to connect the PixLite's positive outputs to the pixels if you decide not to power any through it. You only need to ensure that the negatives are common along each run of pixels, not between multiple runs. When you inject power, simply connect the positive and negative from the power supply to the positive and negative lines in the run of pixels where injection is required. Cut the positive line half way between each different power supply but leave the negative one connected between them. This ensures it is common along the entire length of the string of pixels without requiring the bus bar. [/QUOTE]

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