Hello... I could use your help.
I am trying to build out a mega tree for 2021. I am unsure about how to power this thing or how the wiring works. I am a visual person so I took my best shot at what I feel it should be. Here are my tree details:
I am trying to build out a mega tree for 2021. I am unsure about how to power this thing or how the wiring works. I am a visual person so I took my best shot at what I feel it should be. Here are my tree details:
- 16' with a 36" star (total of 19' tall)
- 360 degree
- 48 strands of 12 volts for tree
- 270 12 volt pixels for the star topper
- falcon f16v3 and 2 expansion boards
- connecting all 48 strands to the controller and expansion boards (the last strand of lights will power the star)
- running at 30% power
- I am going to place the controller, expansion boards, and power supply(s) in ammo boxes.
- Question 1 Power: I am wondering if I can do 1 large power supply Mean Well RSP-3000-12 or 5xMean Well LRS-350-12. I can directly connect the 3000 to my breaker for power. But if you suggest the smaller ones, great.
- Question 2: On my diagram below, if I go with the LRS power supplies, do I connect each power supply to AC via a plug or do I connect them together somehow? If so, how???? Do you have a layout or diagram of how I do it? I am so confused.
