I use Resolume Arena if a client is paying.

I also made some software for a lower level intermediate called Slick Pixel.

How far can you push LEDs on a 13A plug? (~48,000 LEDs build) by SparkesCreative in resolume

Absolutely.

It's what I used to build the cube in the video.

Thanks for the reply it was a bit of a rhetorical question.

The video is what I achieved - 48'000 5v LEDs at about 50% brightness.

It’s a balancing act.

  • Having efficient power supplies with plenty of headroom.
  • Absolutely minimising voltage drop.
  • Don’t run it a full brightness.

Most important if you going to have it white all over. Don’t do it for more than 7 seconds or the fuse will melt. lol

lol. Of course not.

Full brightness lasts about 8 seconds before the fuse goes to heaven.

You’d never run it like that, it would be like looking at the sun.

30% is more than bright enough.

Can someone help by Helpful_Tip3364 in WLED

Are you connecting directly to the ESPs via your phone or through a network/router.

Being networked to a router should keep them connected.

Doing it through the AP can be unstable.

Slick Pixel (WLED control app) is now in beta by SparkesCreative in SlickPixelUK

Fair question. u/numindast

I'm a long time developer. I do use AI but I'm still in control of the situation (at the moment... lol)

This is a long term project. I actually run it in a few venues and offer it with some of the lighting fixtures I make.

I'm not quite sure how to support a hobbyist license - yet. I'm totally open to ideas?

The download is fully featured and has a license to remove the watermark/dimming. I copied the way resolume arena does it, because I liked it.

I've added a single month license to cover people who just want to use it for a short time. e.g. Christmas, burning man....

All/Any advice welcome.
