My second power supply keeps failing and turning half of my house a dull red, so I’m wondering if I could run the whole thing off a single psu.
About 1500 pixels total, all 5V. My controller is on the side of the house and I have a long (100 ft, 12awg) power injection cable run for the roofline that measures fine and displays colors consistently throughout. Could I take another run from that controller box to the middle of the house to the fuse block that the second psu was feeding about 60 ft away? From the fuse block I have power running to the lawn elements at maybe 20-30 ft.
I’ll probably try this tomorrow evening, but wanted to query the collective in case it’s a terrible idea.
