[QUOTE="Old Salt, post: 115640, member: 33887"] Basically 5V pixels at 30% intensity may be a maximum of 50 px from their power source. 12V pixels must be within 100 px from their power source. For longer strings, if power is applied with the data to the first pixel, injection is required after every 100th pixel in a five volt string. A 12V string would require injection after every 200th pixel. So, less power injection is required for 12V strings. The other difference is that 12V strings require more power to achieve the same brightness, roughly 7/12 more. As the same value of resistor is used at every pixel in 12V strings, the voltage drop across them will cause the color to vary before those with a regulator. Therefore most folks here will recommend the regulated 12V strings over those with resistors. Five volts vs 12 volts is a long running debate here. It's up to you which you wish to use. [/QUOTE]

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