I have some 42" tall mini tree frames that I got from Christmas-Leds.com http://www.christmas-leds.com/productinfo_v3.aspx?productid=MNTREES that I was thinking of using RGB on and making each "tree" its own self contained unit that would require just a cat 5 cable and 110 vac to each one.
I was looking at using one string of these http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/12mm-WS2811pixel-module-string-IP68-DC12V-input-full-color-100pcs-a-string-Square-Shape/221277_1597675383.html for each tree.
I know that I will need a 12 volt power supply in each tree but my real question is what would be the best "controller" to put in each one to run just one string of 100 RGB Leds?
Pretty much a "bang for the buck" question I guess.
I will be using LSP for my sequencing program and show control for now.
As it is I currently have 10 of these frames with 4 strings each of R,G,W,B 140 count strings on them that I use and 6 empty frames that I can build up with RGB now and then I will convert the 10 existing ones over later on as I incorporate more RGB into the display.
So who has a good option for an affordable controller that I can use in each tree please?
Thanks
Here is a picture of the existing trees I have now with LEDs on them. I wrapped the frames with a bunch of garland strings and then the Leds over that. Probably used 300 small tie wraps on each tree!
