For Chevychase (and anybody else interested). Hope this helps with your issue on your thread
The two Stars at the front (beginning of video) are made of RGB Strips and controlled by a 3 channel controller on 'standalone mode. Powered by 12v DC 6 Amp supply.
The snowman, two large bushes, arch and five rose bushes are LED strings controlled by 2 x 8 Channel controllers which are then controlled from an SD Card Controller (in master mode). about 1800 LEDs in total. Powered from (regulated) 24v DC supply (with adjustable voltage). Roses are 60LED strings and Large bushes are 200 LED strings, so voltage adjusted to strike a balance between 200 and 60 LED strings brightness. Using unregulated supply for this would no doubt burn out, or shorten the life of the 60 LED strings. SD card controller fed from 12v supply used for stars.
Lights in windows, above garage doors etc. and some in back garden (towards end of video) are fed from 24v transformer (unregulated). Very fast changing of circuits controlled from my own controllers, but current is mainly constant and using about 4 amps. More or less constant load, so the unregulated 24v is good enough.
