[QUOTE="CargoLights, post: 135673, member: 32784"] You need to wire it to match your configuration in xLights. I'm attaching my configuration from xLights. The numbers are very different from yours, but hopefully it helps. First, the number of strings (by the red line) is how many ports it is set to use on your controller. Next, the number for Strands/String is how many vertical lines per string. In this case, I have 4 strands per string, meaning it goes up, connects to the next, then down, then up and back down, all on one port. Then I start the next String. If you have 12 strings on 2 channels, you should set that to 2 strings and 6 strands/string. Then you connect the first 6 to each other on the first port and then connect strand 7 to port 2 and connect the rest to it. Note that you'll need significant power injection to run that many lights off a single port. You also need to note the "Starting Location" in xLights and make sure you are matching that when you connect, or things will be off. On another note, you're probably better off with more strands and wider spacing, as you mentioned. 1" spacing is great, but if the strands are 6" apart at the bottom, you have 6" spacing. Good luck, and feel free to drop in on the chat room if you need more help, or just respond here. [ATTACH type="full"]24846[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]

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