[QUOTE="i13, post: 116770, member: 21708"] I might need a bit more information about the exact pixels. Could you post a link to them? It would also help to know how/where you plan to use the pixels within your display. 5V WS2812B 30 (assuming 30 stands for LEDs per metre) sounds like strip, not nodes but then you've referred to it as a string which suggests nodes. Could you please clarify whether it is string or nodes? I have the 5V WS2812B strip and 5V WS2811 nodes (don't think there is such a thing as WS2812B nodes) in my display. The 5V strip is not great with voltage drop and I'd suggest the 12V WS2811 strips if you're going to have longer lengths like a roof outline. This is an example: [URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32493161338.html[/URL] The 5V strip is great for things like a spinner or star on a frame because the LEDs are individually controlled (see my post #23 above) and the voltage doesn't need to travel far. Regardless of the type of pixels, a 1 metre length wouldn't be sufficient to test the limits with voltage drop. [/QUOTE]

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