Thanks!
Now in the process of building two 'final versions'.
Should be able to run both from one 3 Channel controller and a 12v 6Amp supply. 3 Amps load for both stars combined, I'm assuming the 6Amp supply is rated at least 80% efficient, so it should handle that load each evening for a month without any problems..
I'd advise anybody that's gonna solder, to use 60/40 Tin-Lead, and avoid the Lead free stuff (better joints with the Tin/Lead solder). I also used Servisol Silicone Sealant and Adhesive (potting compound) to back up the end caps on the strips. Don't use ordinary silicone sealant as the acetone etc. will corrode the circuit board and solder joints
