Good informative video!!! Ya gotta try this with 5vdc pixels like I have with variations of cable length between the individual props and (LOR) cards. Most of my cards can only have 175 max unless running a LOR PixiCon card (Just like the Falcon). No matter what, I always add PI (+ and -) every 50 Pixels regardless of if the lights are doing ok or not. I never do PI at the end due to the nature of forward bias versus reverse bias of LEDs. Normally do liquid tape seal on the last pixel so water does not get in. Had that happen on a few of my props. So far everything lights up well and can crank it up to 100% if need to. I run 30% most of the time unless there is a part in the sequence that needs an increase for emphasis. Like to keep my neighbors happy since in a older (most retirees) community. BTW, LOR wants a different setup of PI than XLights and will agree with XLights form of PI over LOR.

I myself am a 5v guy, the principle is the same for them. Post this video I did create the pixel power calculator: spikerlights.com/calcpower.aspx you can use it to estimate the draw based on "virtual" power injection points. In my behinds the scenes this year you will see where I did this on my matrix and mega trees.

At 4:16 I see on your calculator there are 5 rows of amp load on wire. do you add all these numbers together? What I like to do is use one 12 awg wire and branch off that one wire, this is where I get my question do I add up all the total for my fuse and power injection.

Hi there, I love your calculator, it is awesome to help determine the minimum power injection needed. I'm wondering if it is possible to add a line that shows the power being drawn by the data port. For example, on a 300 pixel prop, using 5V pixels at 100%, the total draw is 18 amps. If I inject every 100 pixels (100, 200 and 300) the calculator shows all 18 amps on the injection wires. If I assume at the first 50 pixels are powered by the controller, and I link the power and ground from before pixel 1 to pixel 300 (the 3rd PI is comming from the controller port), I actually have roughly 6 amps on the controller port, and only 12 amps on the injection wire. Is it possible to add to the calculator the option to link the pixel cable to itself and to show the amperage on each wire? I also like to use the same wire from the power supply to multiple points in the prop. In the example above, I would have the power and ground from the data port split at pixel 1 over to pixel 300, and I would run a PI cable with a "Y" to pixels 100 and 200 rather than running a seperate wire to pixel 100 and another to pixel 200. Is it possible to be able to identify in the calculator which cable is being used at the injection point - say "A", "B", "C" or 1, 2, 3 so that the amperage on that wire is tallied each time it is being used? Finally, a question about total maps drawn - In my example above, if the total load is 18 amps, why is it the 5 amp fuse on the controller does not blow if I do not add any power injection? I understand there is substantial voltage drop but the load is still on the wire is it not? Thanks for your help and all of your time on this project Bob
