Thanks for watching and great question! If you cut off the jst connector and use the wires on the strip I would maybe then go up to 6amps. The wires on the strip are either 20 or 22 awg which are pretty thin. If I wanted to go higher than 6amps I would then solder my own thicker 18awg wires and then go up to 9amps if needed keeping it a little below what the controller says is the max which is 10. Hope that helps!

Sadly cutting the wire off won't help much since those aren't the limiting factor is the LED strip itself, not the wires. Whatever diameter wire you attach to a generic ws28xx strip you will not get more then 4A into a single edge connection or about 8A into a middle connection. The strip just has too much resistance on it's copper tracks to allow for more hence why we need to do power injection to combat "voltage drop" (which in actuality is combatting the resistance by adding more copper). There are controllers out there which have power distribution and fusing all on the controller itself, but not on Amazon.

However the intensity of the led lights is not bright enough. I think I have three options.... 1) use a 24 volt power supply; 2) Do power 12 V power inyection for each led strip... or 3) Raise the automatic brightness limiter to XXX mA. Anyone knows the solution? Alberto. Houston TX

I got brighter LEDs by changing xLight / Controllers tab / selected device / Protocol: DDP (instead of the default E131). As DDP is an auto-discovery protocol, I'm sure I just set my E131 settings wrong, giving the lights lower voltage... but DDP doubled brightness for me.

Thanks for watching and great question! It depends on the effect you choose. The mic will only engage if you select an animation/effect that is a sound react one. You still have all the non sound react animations and effects available that you can choose where the mic will do nothing on those. Hope that helps!

you can disable the mic in WLED "sound settings" section

Hey Chris, very nice video. I was wondering how important is it to get the exact number of LED's on a strip correct?

I want to connect 15m of 5v led strip, but im not sure if the controller can do it. I wanted to connect 30led/m or 60led/m strip.

Hello Chris, congratulations on your video, I really like them all. Does this controller not need to add a resistor if the tape is too far from it?

I'm wanting to put some of these around the rear of a a 16' long church stage. Was there a reason you went 12V over 24V? Awesome video!

have you put a 2nd led strip on the spiral yet?.. you have another side that is empty and having 2 led strips, they would face each other by default in most places. meaning, you could get some interesting color mixing between the 2 opposing led strips facing each other in that wooden spiral etc... cool video thanx

Athom have been making these for a long time. They have a mic, 16a relay and screw connectors, not push. This controller isn't new or revolutionary

I’m having trouble with the power supply. Do you have to to have the 5v power supply connected? I have 12v leds and I tried to connect a 12v power supply to the line inputs next to the barrel plug and the controller doesn’t turn on. Thanks!
