[QUOTE="charliedog, post: 116185, member: 34557"] thanks for the quick input. You are correct, I am planning string/nodes. I am planning to make lengths of conduit/chromatrim with the correct number of pixels for each straight section of roof line. I thought this would make installation easier. None of these sections will be exactly 50 or 100 nodes. Most are in the 60-80 node range. I was planning to buy 100 node lengths and then just cut each to the desired length. I live in the USA and will likely buy my nodes from RGBMAN or DIYLEDExpress. Their prices seem almost exactly the same as buying from the aliexpress vendors from china. I like the idea of using 5V for the tree. I never even considered 5V because I knew I would likely need 12V for the house outline to avoid injection and thought I should just stick to one voltage. It really dose make sense for the tree though. I have seen some store advertise spools of nodes with "power injection wire every X nodes." What exactly does that mean? Is the Power wire cut every X nodes to inject power? Would it be a good idea to buy four spools of 250 5V nodes with power injection cable every 50 nodes and then I could just use one differential receiver and one 5V power supply for the whole tree?

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