Newbie & late
« on: November 05, 2020, 11:30:12 AM »
Hello, i have been doing LOR AC lights for several years, but now that we moved my son noticed our subdivision has a Christmas Display competition, so i just jumped the gun and bought 500 pixels and a 12 volt power supply. I have 2 LOR standard controllers so that is all i have. I know i need a controller and lookin get get the Falcon F16, but i don't know how to connect the string of pixels to each other and to the power/controller or boost power etc. I have seen videos of the pixels being close to the controller, but i am not sure how that will work. This year i only plan on doing my roofline with pixel and wanting to keep my other standard light displays in the yard if possible. Can someone advise me of what connectors i need or extension connectors and power injectors to connect it all together. Thank you!

In your profile list your location and when reading the forums look for someone near you that you could visit and see things firsthand.  That would clear up a lot of your questions.  You might even post a question such as "Does anyone live near xxxxxxx?  I would like to visit and see how you hook things up. 

I would even post the above question in the Facebook group "official xlight support group" https://www.facebook.com/groups/xLights

Thank you, i think you also just answered commented in another thread from another forum regarding the Falcon F16V3 i was looking for. I will take you advice and see if anyone lives near me would be willing to discuss their setup while keeping that social distance.

Thank you!
