[QUOTE="Skymaster, post: 125680, member: 36626"] Resistor/Regulated - for 12V, both will do the same thing; Regulated will give you a bit more headroom when it comes to voltage drop. However, you're talking small runs and you're not afraid of PI, so 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other. Resistor will be slightly cheaper and have less things to go wring. If you're going 5V, then there is no resistor or regulator - as the pixels run on 5V natively. Water Rating - IP68 is relatively standard. If it's "real" IP68, it means it's submersible. IP65 is good enough for really hard jets of water from all directions. But that's if you trust the Chinese vendors to build to the exact IP specs. LEDS - Bullets are an 8mm LED in an sleeve/epoxy, for a total of 12mm diameter. One and the same in this case. The wiring is important too - you'd want to get 18awg, rather than the standard 20/22awg - it's very minimal increase in cost, for less voltage drop. [/QUOTE]

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