Hey,
Simple question: How do you do your roof outline? What pixels do you use: 5V/12V, strips/string/rope etc?
I was originally planning on going 5V strings (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/DC5V-WS2811-LED-smart-string-addressable-with-all-rgb-wire-IP68-rated-epoxy-resin-filled-50pcs/701799_32277653753.html) but I dont want any of the power supplies on the roof. The greatest length in 1 line is about 7.5m, which shouldnt be a problem even with 5V if injecting power from both ends, i figure. Total length of the roof outline that I want to cover is about 60m.
How far can you run a 12V strip or string of pixels without injecting power?
I would rather use 5V to decrease power consumption, but it does make it a lot trickier.
What do you think?
