robigd Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I see the Pixie controllers can control 100 lights, but the pixels LOR sells are in 50 pixel strings. Can these be connected to form 100 pixels for use with a Pixie controller? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccross2891 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 from what I've read, the 5v pixels are only good up to 50 pixels per channel, the 12v are good up to 100 pixels so say. not sure if you can add to the 5v 50 pixel string and it would work or not, trying to find some information on the strings them selves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious if LOR will sell 12v 100 pixel strings next year, as they seem readily available through other vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power injection solves the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
