[QUOTE="Slacker, post: 414737, member: 27488"] Hi Guys, I want to renovate my home office. I want to put Digital RGB LED Light strips in coving and skirting boards but am having issues understanding a few things about powering and controlling the light strips. Firstly I will explain the room setup. It is L shaped and the total length of the walls are 14.7 meters. I wish to have 2 loops of 15 meters controlled by a single dmx controller (wall mounted/remote/wifi/sound reactive). My main issue is understanding how to power the strips. I have ordered six 5 meter rolls of digital tape giving me 30 meters of tape. Data for the led tape follows: input voltage:.............DC5v; Power:.......................60leds/m----16watt/meter LED resource:.............WS2812B led(5050 SMD RGB LED with built-in improved version of ws2811 ic) LED: ...............each LED is separately controlled(Individually Addressable) IC Type: .....................improved version ws2812 IC(built inside the 5050 smd rgb led) of IC: ..................(1 IC drives 1 led chip); Pixels:......... 60/meter; Pitch: .........................16.6mm(1000/64); Grey scale: ................256; Bits/color: ...................8-bits/color; FPC size: ....................Width: 10mm, High: 2.5mm; FPC color: ......... BLACK/White Protection rate...... IP20 Colors: ........................Full color RGB, dream color changing; Cuttable:......................every LED is cuttable; Package: ....................in anti-static bag Looking at the data we can see its 16 watts per meter, which means my total power requirements are 480 watts for the 30 meters of tape. 16 x 30 = 480 Now my main question is do I need to power each strip with its own PSU, each loop with its own PSU or a single PSU for the whole system? Could someone help me design the circuit correctly so I buy the correct PSU and Amplifiers for the loops. Please help a novice make a proper first installation. Regards, Iain [/QUOTE]
