Just want to say thanks for all your videos in the "expert tips + tricks" playlist. I have basically just binge watched the whole playlist. I must admit I knew a lot of it, but it's good to remind oneself of all the points as well as pick up one or two new tips. Good-luck with the new lockdown. I've had no work since mid March due to the pandemic (sound and lighting company) , but have used the time to get to know my new lights and controller as well as putting together a few new fixtures with pixel strips and your guys hardware (Pixelator mini and quite a few PLink injectors). Hopefully to be used soon at some events. Once again, thanks for the videos. They are really appreciated.
Thanks for your kind words, Francois - they're likewise very much appreciated. We certainly have a lot of fun making these videos (as well as designing our products). And you're quite right: whilst many of these episodes are geared towards newcomers to the industry who may not have experienced many of these topics in depth yet, there's certainly no harm in all of us refreshing our memories when it comes to sensible or safe ways to do things. Life is one continual adventure really, and we never stop learning or discovering new things, do we? And as Jordan says at the end of each episode, don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or other topics you'd like us to look into. Everyone is always most welcome, and our ears are always open. Thanks again, Francois!
Hi buddy been watching your videos that have been very helpful but I had a question about led strips? I'm running a 25m strip led 18w/m... with a 5v-40amp power supply!! Can I plug a 5v - 6amp on the arse end to help with voltage drop?
Hi Justin If it's constant voltage tape you're using - where the entire strip lights up at the same time- then no, you can't multi inject on constant voltage tape. If it's pixel strip that you're referring to - where individual LEDs are addressable- then you can inject power at the end, but we generally recommend not having multiple power supplies on the same circuit. So it would be better to cut the VCC line a bit further up the tape so that your 40A is controlling one section and your 6A is controlling the other section. You can also split your DC line out of your 40A and power both ends, but you may see some voltage drop in your DC cable before it even gets to the strip since it's only 5v We actually have some videos on the power injection topics on our channel: ruclips.net/video/FOyJoEE5feU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Lz2vm3VGOMI/видео.html Thanks
Love your work Jordan
Glad you enjoy it!
