Hi All,
I have seen some posts on the constraints with Litworxs lights and have also seen that people are working on this.
What I have is 30 sets of single colour 220 led string lights (10.9m per string), at $5 a set I could not walk past them up.
I am looking for a way to control them from a single controller and power source approx. Found a 110w 24v PSU on Ebay and I am happy to run them at 24v as 6,600 leds at full power is going to be to bright for the rest of my display.
The current controllers are a 2 wire setup offer 8 functions, all leds on static (not sure how this is achieved) fad, twinkle, alternating options ect.
I'm not to crash on electronics, and need any advice I can get.
Either looking for how to build the same controller beefed up to run all of the lights in the same sequence ( I have not come across a controller supplied with lights that have the exact timing, they all seem to get out of sync during the night.
Ideally I would like to be able to control all 30 strands separately but still be able to have the twinkle ect when all 30 strands are on.
Yes this 2nd option would require some expense and software. (I Guess it's about time I to start learning how to start programing light sequences)
Oh yea, this is for a tree 9.5m, was only 6.5m this year (just rope light and a star, already have the other 3m section to bolt on, just didn't have the budget for the addition guy wires and turn buckles ect, to support the addition 3m.
Any advice, ideas would be welcome.
