[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 103676, member: 29098"] Welcome to the madness of pixel lighting [USER=30249]@Danielr[/USER], In terms of your questions: [LIST] [*]Yes you can certainly control WS2811 strip lights on a Falcon F16v3. [*]You'll be using a bit more than 32 channels, don't get mixed up that one string of pixels acts as 3 channels (like common RGB strip light). Pixel strings (addressable strings) have each node/LED* use 3 channels, so 100 nodes/LEDs will be 300 channels. [*]F16v3 is capable of anything with pixels, just check that the type of pixels (e.g. ws2811, ws2812b) is supported. WS2811 isn't the only type available but is the one of the most common. [LIST] [*]F16v3 also isn't the only controller that can do the job, a Falcon F48 is more in cost but can be spread out. They can both drive up to 16,320 pixels**. Watch videos by CanispaterChristmas about the F16v3 and F48 as he did a product video on them. [/LIST] [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Power injection will happen, it just depends on how long a string is to how often they need extra power. 12v strings need less injection than 5v strings. It is harder to power inject into strips without the waterproofing being compromised. [/LIST] Play around in XLights and look at videos on YouTube for how lights are connected and operated. CanispaterChristmas's channel: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCby1v6Kbi8AHMkV2yMyF1MQ[/URL] *Some 12v string has 3 leds per pixel, check the product images. **3 channel pixel node/LED with 510 channels per universe (Obtained from data sheet).

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