Just wanna know if these pixels and controller go together and won’t explode, Il be using this straight away.

I indeed know that the pixels can go with this controller but just wanna make sure it’s all fine because I don’t trust anything else other than real people.

[click] PIXELS: https://www.scottledaustralia.com/product/ws2811-bullet-nodes-12v-xconnect-50ct/ *

[click] CONTROLLER: https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/ready-to-run-baldrick-8-port-pixel-controller-v2/
PSU [12v 500W waterproof]
Pigtails [xconnect]
Ethernet [single connector]

Il just be getting a normal Ethernet cable which will go into my laptop running xlights.

*8 strings of pixels will be used.

Don’t tell me to read the 101 guide, I have and I am very very pro

You'll literally be ready to control those pixels as soon as you get the controller and the pixels in the room together. I actually send out and inline pixel tester with all the ready to run controllers so you could plug that into an output, plug a string of pixels into the tester and power the Baldrick. You could then watch pretty pixel patterns until you've spent the couple of minutes configuring Xlights and the Baldrick. Once configured just remove the pixel tester.

So those pixels were out of stock because I stalled for too long, are the https://www.scottledaustralia.com/product/5v-ws2811-50ct-xconnect/ the same? Ik I should know this but I trust someone like you more than me
 
Have you bought the controller from Alan yet, if you have then you need to get the pixels that match the output of the power supply that you have 12Volt or 5 Volt if you have not bought the controller you can choose the one that fits your pixels that you get
 
you need to get the same voltage lights and power supply eg 5v or 12v. Most controllers will do 5 or 12v so not as important as the power supply
