[QUOTE="LightsOn81st, post: 82128, member: 25674"] Thanks for the further info and suggestions about 5v vs 12v and spare nodes. I'll do some further research over the next few days and then make my decision by the end of the week on which type I want to go with. 5v sounds like it may be the way to go for efficiency. Whichever way I go, I'll snag a while extra strand of each just to be safe. Also, thanks for pointing out that I needed to include the ground in the line that comes from the controller to the first set of LEDs. I've updated my diagram accordingly so I don't forget ;) : [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ODeGMDM.png[/IMG] As far the disconnecting the positive lead half-way between PSUs, I actually planned on avoiding using multiple power supplies on any one power injection run as my research indicated that it could be a problem (perhaps that what you suggestion addresses, if so thanks!). I'll also grab an extra PSU as a backup just in case of issues. [/QUOTE]

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