inject power

However when using several thousand pixels on a single controller multiple power supplies are often required (and common practice) to get sufficient power. Its generally best to use identical power supplies and connect the negatives together to provide a common ground, then use the positives to inject power. We recommend inline fuses are used on power injection lines etc as high ampage output from power supplies can burn through thin pixel wire quickly in the event of a short.

Thanks Craig.
I understand it a lot more now and i am just using one power supply. (the 20 A one not  the 60A one)
Injecting power into my strings has worked (with a slight red flicker on the furthest one), but my strip still turns red ate the furthest point when lit. I cannot inject to the far end of that!
I am still experimenting with them but i know a lot more now.

Thanks again.
