[QUOTE="i13, post: 115495, member: 21708"] I think you're correctly describing my setup. I connect negative and data to the controller. I connect the positive and negative directly from the pixels to a power supply. This allows me to power the controller with 5V and connect 12V lights to it or vice versa. An important point to note is that powering is not directional. I have an string of pixels in my display where I have connected the power supply between pixels 30 and 31 and the power travels backwards to pixel 1. I've attached a diagram showing an example of the sort of configuration that I use. The labels say "Strip" but it would be the same for pixel nodes or modules etc. The power supplies in this example can be different voltages. [/QUOTE]

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