[QUOTE="OzAz, post: 110237, member: 25027"] my 2 cents worth If you want to keep it real simple and buy a plug and play controller, then 12V. (IMHO) General [I]"rule" [/I]is you can run 100 pixels at 12V, but only 50 pixels at 5V (before requiring power injection). So with zero power injection, you could (theoretically) attach 16 strings of 100 (12V) pixels to your controller. Which would be enough for a mid-size pixel tree, for example. But to use a controller to it's full potential, then no matter what voltage pixel you use, you'll have to start using power injection. Example: the Pixlite can run 1020 pixels off each of it's 16 outputs. However, using the general "[I]rule[/I]", if you were using 12V pixels you'd have to power inject every 100 pixels, if 5V pixels every 50; BUT once you start power injecting it doesn't really make much difference if it's 50, 100 or whatever number. So it's not as important as to which voltage you use. Hope that clears up a few things. Oh and all the other experts out there, please don't confuse things, I know I'm generalising re "[I]rule[/I]". :D :D [/QUOTE]

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