rmturner54 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Still fairly new to S5 Pro, but starting to get the hang of things. I am building a new preview for my landscape lighting and looking for recommendations. My layout will be 4 each RGB WS2811 floodlights and 8 each RGB WS2811 pathway lights. I know its not a big layout. Here is my question, Is it better to put each prop separate then create 2 groups? All 4 floods separate, then a floodlight group. And the same with the pathway lights? Advantages and disadvantages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYHI Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 your other topic got to confusing for you?? You can create individual Lights and then Group them Or you can create a String of Flood & Pathway Lights.. Just keep in mind the Amp/Watt draw on the pixie port - should be fine with (4) 10w Floods on 1 (4A) port and the (8) Pathway lights on another port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYHI Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 170 Pixels supported - which is 510 Channels per Port you can run 200 pixel in a non-standard 600 channel format The truth is in the amount of Amp Draw per Port due to the Device & Power Supply Limitations I just built (4) Pixie16 Controllers with two 480watt (40A) Power Supplies with all the trimmings for $274 ea...
