[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 115400, member: 32169"] You have not indicated if your pixels will be 5 Volt or 12 Volt. Kate's comment (Post #2) is accurate enough for 12 Volt pixels but not 5 Volt pixels. Meanwell's LRS-350-xx supplies are rated at 29 Amp (12 Volt) or 60 Amp (5 Volt). You mention in Post #5 about open ports but not being able to use them due to power or lack thereof. Those ports can still be used by making them data only. If distances become or are a problem, F-Amps can be added. To add to Kate's Post #8, the use of separate supplies also means that one could power both 5 volt and 12 volt pixels from the controller with the caution that care is used to not mix pixels with voltages they will not like. Too, A F16v3 powers from the V2 power connector (unless externally powered) so the Falcon itself needs configured for the correct voltage. There are various methods of power injection and fusing and it is an opinionated topic. As Dan indicated, all injection should be fused. To help us critique better I suggest a sketch of your layout with pixel quantities, lengths ,and such which can be commented on. For fuse blocks, I use these: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PDVG6CF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]

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