[QUOTE="charliedog, post: 116168, member: 34557"] Hello- I have been reading and watching videos over the past month or so. I would like to submit my order within the next week or so to hopefully get in on a pre-sale discount. My primary goal for year one is to have an outline of my house and windows. I plan to use conduit+chromastrip for the outline. My secondary goal if time allows would be a small mega tree (~8-10 feet 270 degrees). I was thinking 9 strip of 100 lights (50 up 50 down). For my first year I am trying to minimize splicing of pixels and avoid power injection. For this reason I plan to use 12V WS2811 lights spaced at 3" for my outline/windows. I plan to use a falcon F48 with multiple differential receiver boards. Doing this allows me to keep each run under 100 nodes. I plan to buy 100 node string and cut each to length. My current plan will have a lot of excess pixels cut off and probably more differential boards/power supplies than needed. This will definitely not be the cheapest plan but I think it will minimize the chance of failure on the roof lines, which would be hard to fix once they are up. The extra pixels and available ports will hopefully also allow easy expansion into props in year two. Let me know any suggestions, I am all ears. The Picture below is color coded into differential receiver groups. The groups with multiple differential receivers would be daisy chained in smart mode. *I also just realized my photo has an error, the group for the tree would have 3 350 power supplies [/QUOTE]

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