[QUOTE="tooms, post: 110697, member: 23695"] Leds - 12v or 5v WS2811, 18AWG wire, pick your own poison on voltage as theirs no right or wrong answer, what ever you choose people will still choose to argue with you over it, 12V you can get longer string runs, 5V is cheaper overall but cant go as far, but better suited to dense pixel props. connectors - pick anyone of the Ray-Wu, X-connect or HC style, which ever one you pick you'll probably want to stay with forever, again they all do the same thing, they're all good outdoor rated connectors, the JST connectors that can sometimes be had you'll need to cut off and find another way as they cant handle any moisture if put outside controllers - falcon is the most popular, pixlite, hanson electronics, kulp and holidaycoro also popular choices, again they all pretty much do the same thing and some do some things better then others, hats can be found for various boards, these unfortunately don't easily have the same density of the more popular controllers, software - xlights is where you will want to go, vixen is good but not as popular anymore I would recommend to start thinking about DC power supplies now, how you are going to mount your pixels, if you'll be using props, enclosures for your controllers and power supplies [/QUOTE]
