[QUOTE="i13, post: 81815, member: 21708"] I suspect that's the wrong type of strip for what I think you want to do. That strip is called a 'dumb' or non-pixel RGB strip. The 3528 LEDs on that particular dumb strip have each colour sepatated so it won't mix the colours. Dumb strips do not have individual control along their length. Pixel strips give you the individual control but they can't share the same controller as your existing lights. When it comes to pixel controllers, you may as well get a big one to allow for future expansion. Smaller ones are a lot more expensive per pixel. Examples of big ones are the Falcon F16v2 and the PixLite 16 MKII from Advatek. These both have DMX512 outputs which will come in handy for including dumb (non-pixel) controllers for your existing lights. The MKII supports more pixels than the F16v2 but it only supports one chip type on all outputs at the same time. See my previous post above for controllers for your existing lights. The HD712 controller that I linked to can run dumb strips but not pixels. Strips are not going to be the same voltage as your existing lights so they can't share the same central power supply with them. [/QUOTE]

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