Hi i13.
I'm keen to give it all a go and as I'm doing a permanent install in my lounge using 45 degree Ali channel with diffusers I think the 60 density will look nicer, give me more scope for learning and playing with effects. also I don't see me running them past about 25% brightness, Ive seen some in home demos with them around the 25-30% and thats more than enough at that density. its more about the smooth look and ability to play with effects at that density for me.
Yes I understand power injection, and again more than happy to run as many as needed, its all learning, its all practice.
Thank you re; the MeanWell, I will look into the RSP-320-5
Im keen to learn but in the same respect I never choose something easy to learn with.. as it is I am completely holding myself back from literally just jumping straight in and trying to config a mega tree

OMG
I just showed my Husband your vid... first off he said... NO.. No... n..... then he watched and ended with... they need some on the carport roof 
Very impressive, that would be an awesome display to witness.
I think I'm being pretty conservative with my 12m 60L/pm install now

Sadly you can't see the car port roof from the ground. It's where a lot of control boxes hide because it's easy to get toOMG

was $78 each at the time for 5v / 60A and took less the a week to turn up ( DHL shipping )
be WARNED tho this came from there aus stock ... ordered at the same time and still waiting was 100m of wire for power injection which is coming from there UK stock ... 3 weeks later its almost here .... there stock location is in the top right of the page when viewing the item
I probably should have explained why I recommend the RSP series over the LRS. It is because of power factor which can be a problem when you have a large display. This thread explains it: https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/6365/

I purchased an LRS-350-5 a few weeks ago from element14 (NZ site, NZ address on invoice so I think insurance will be fine) cost $79 plus GST. Arrived from Aus stock in just over a week.
yip same deal here ...
i just should of known better ... the so called NZ site is just a subdomain of the main site and the stock location is what you should really be looking at
FYI
Available for back order
5 more will be available on 15/11/22
More stock available week commencing 9/01/23
going to be a world wide problem for just about anything electronic
This goes for all of their sites. It's a single system that knows where the stock is located so that when you order they'll pool from the various warehouses as needed to fulfill the order.
Yep. E14 manage the 'import' for you as an internal stock transfer to their local location, then it ships to you from there - They've already collected local GST from your purchase and they will also cover any import duties etc.
