5V Power Supply for Pixie 8 Controller

Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good 5V Power Supply to use for a Pixie 8 Controller? I think it needs to supply 25-30 Amps if I'm connecting eight 15W strings (or perhaps I could use two 15 Amp power supplies).

LOR only sells a 12V Power Supply.

Look on the Meanwell website, Amazon or Ebay I bought my 12v ps's on Amazon.

You are using 5v pixels correct?

Thanks for the quick response JR!

Yes, 5V pixels. Currently I have two 5V 8A power supplies (from amazon) to power 3 strings. I'm looking at adding more strings... in retrospect, perhaps I should have gone with 12V pixels.

Most of the 5V options on amazon (Canada) seem very open/exposed on the 120V side... makes me nervous. The ebay options seem to all be from China... is that safe?

Thanks Jim... I'll look a bit more at aliexpress.

I guess I'm looking for something that is enclosed with the power cord already attached. I don't like playing too much with the 120V side.

I only use Meanwell here.  Too many issues with the cheap Chinese stuff... I've bought quite a few from Chris at Holiday Lighting.  Very good customer service!  I had tracking info in less than an hour and psus delivered in a couple days.   https://holiday.lighting/psorderform
