Hi everyone,
I have an idea which I think will work and it should save me having to run several power cables out to my display items.
For example, my leaping arches will have 8 LED strings on them which means I need to use 2 x 4ch DC-SSR's. To save having to run two power cables out to the SSR's I was thinking of just running one, then use some sort of splitter or buss-bar to split the power between them both in the case holding the SSR's. That would work pretty well I would think then all I need to worry about is two cables, one power, one data. This could cut some cabling costs, especially on larger display items where more channels are required.
Does that sound a reasonable thing to do or am I going to cause trouble for myself? The idea is to minimise cables running around the yard (without using wireless options).
What's a good buss-bar solution to use, especially for larger channel counts?
cheers, fj
