[QUOTE="bpratt, post: 106064, member: 29688"] Welcome aboard, I'm just south of you at Jimboomba, and this year was my first with pixels. I use both strips and nodes, however my first strip had the last 500mm of it DOA, and when I laid my lights out another strip did the same thing. Nodes, from what I've seen only 3 nodes have failed out of over 2000. Repairs, i.e. replacing failed sections is a hell of a lot easier with nodes, than with strips. I only used strips in my leaping arches, but as you will hear strips are fairly fragile and break easily, but in leaping arches they do look good. 12v versus 5v .... that's "religious debate"..... there is no real 'best way' for that. I've gone with 12v because of long runs, and less power injection (don't worry too much about that term at the moment). That said, I believe 5v is more energy efficient, however long runs will require power injection I'm sure you've downloaded and read the ACL 101 here, very handy to understand what there is. My first controller was a Falcon F16v3, but there are other options, but from what I've seen this is the favoured controller. [/QUOTE]

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