Mr. P Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Has anyone run dumb rgb in parallel instead of series (strings). Is it possible? I want to do a 50' run and every 5' I want to branch off four rectangle dumb rgb pixels (diagram). This will be coming off of a CMB24D Possible? Comments? Suggestion?

Septon Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) The only thing I can recommend, is adding these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RGB-Amplifier-Controller-12A-For-3528-5050-RGB-LED-Strip-Light-DC12-24V/32259913274.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.ZHYh5v I ordered them with another order of lights they didn't charge me shipping.

Mr. P Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I won't be able to add another power supply at the amplifier. I currently have some runs 80' to a 5m string with no issues on 12v. This will just be a 40'-50' run with four pixels tapped in every 5'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
