[QUOTE="i13, post: 81833, member: 21708"] ACL member darylc coordinates group buys for the F16v2. He would be the person to ask. The PixLite 16 MKII is sold by Advatek [url=http://www.advateklights.com/]http://www.advateklights.com/[/url] You will need to choose your first pixels very carefully if you get a PixLite. The entire controller can only output one signal type at a time so all of your pixels must use the same signal type. The controllers share the same power supply as the light sets. This is true for both pixel and dumb controllers. The pixel controllers connect via Ethernet. Dumb controllers usually have DMX512 signal input. This means the pixel controller will send the required data to the dumb controllers. Both the F16v2 and the PixLite controllers can output DMX512 signal for the dumb controllers to take in. Different strips suit different applications so I'd need a bit more info to recommend a particular one. For example, a roofline could use the cheap 12V WS2811 strip with 30 LEDs (10 pixels) per metre. This has a low resolution but it isn't as noticeable when you use the strip in long lengths. It also lets you have quite long distances before voltage drop is a problem. If you want to have a matrix to display pictures, you'll want something with higher resolution and you'll have it in shorter lengths so voltage drop won't be a problem. 5V strip would be a better choice for this.

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