Starting a project with some LED light strips. I want to have a total of 2X2 strips, so 600LEDs (two 300LED strings daisy chained) plus another 600LEDs (again two 300 LED strips daisy chained). I want two separate “systems” so one is solid color, and the other 600LED string doing an animation.
I bought a GLEDOPTO GL-309WL since it has two data ports (IO16 and IO2) for lights which is rated at 15 amps. I also bought a power supply with 5V 20A 100W. However now I find WLED states that for max brightness of 600 LEDs a total of 34 amps is required (but 12A is enought for most effects). What controllers and power supplies can handle that?
Since the GL-C-309WL is rated at 15 amps, do I need a different controller for max brightness?
Next, can I create two “systems” one animated and another solid using one power supply and controller or do I need to buy two PS and two controllers?
