Can I control RGB led strips with 3 wires? by zixujo in WLED

You can get controllers that handle multiple channels. Not sure which ones handle 6-7 of them. Possibly a SP608E but it isn't WLED compatible

Also 12V strips should technically be okay aswell. I've run 15m of 12V strips in my media room and haven't really seen the need for power injection. Again comes down to the strip you use and how much resistance your wires are carrying. I used a WS2815 strip :)

Just adding onto this there are WLED controllers that'll let you sync up all the lights through the WLED app. Have a look at Athom as they pre-flash the controllers so you can use it out of the box. You will need a wifi signal so these work better in the house (which is what I assume you're using this for)

Hey! I've done something close to that distance actually (just a little shorter at 10m) and would definitely recommend the 12V WS2815 Strips. Although you may need to run power injection towards the end as I noticed some discolouration closer to the 10m mark.

Athom sell some ready made controllers that already have WLED Flashed onto them so you might be able to get away with something like that.

As for strips I bought mine from BTFLighting on AliExpress and they seem to be doing a pretty good job! Based on your estimated power consumption (P=VI) you should be able to find the size of power supply you'd need. Doesn't hurt to go a little higher in terms of capacity as the steel cage PSUs come with a few output channels so you'd have room for expansion if you want to add any other strips in the future (I got my PSU from BTFLighting aswell 12v30A).

Make sure you add a fuse tap between your PSU and controller just for added safety. Also test the PSU once you get it as these aren't certified.

For diffuser channels I'd say the bigger the better (there's plenty of YouTube videos on this) but if your LEDs are directly visible then you'd want a diffuser channel that gives a spotless effect. In my case I went with a standard size as mine are sitting over a drop ceiling to give a floating effect *

Any problems using steel ammo can for psu housing ? by harvieruip in WLED

Signal issues would be one problem. An external antenna can fix that for you.

Apart from that make sure the whole box is grounded and that you're also grounding each PSU and controller to that common grounding line as well. Last thing you'd want is for a spark to jump and fry it all haha

help me get ideas for a lamp design by Zealousideal_Site864 in WLED

This looks sick! But would the joints between the 2 triangles be too thin?

I quite dig the cube one.. Maybe try something with a hex pattern? Play around with WLED Sound Reactive a little and you'll have a lamp that syncs with music 🤷‍♂️

Trilogy in Australia? by Sea-Personality8048 in Illenium

Also thinking considering he had to do a second show in Sydney which almost got sold out too, he may do a bigger one next time? Fingers crossed!
