HI All, Been looking at having a play with WLED for a clients project and wondered if anyone could recommend any good controllers which will work seamlessly with the software. Currently going to be building two display units using nearly 2500 digital led pixels split into 1250 led pixels for each unit and want them all to run on one controller which is powered by WLED. I was eyeing up the MagWLED-1, but if there is anything better out there, then I’m all ears. Any recommendations would be welcome. ---

Thanks for that, but I already had a read of it and it doesn’t give the info with regards the amount of pixels that can be controlled. I’m really looking for an “off the shelf” or kit built project which can handle that amount of pixels. ---

Since you have 2500 target and you want two output then select a controller that at least have two output . Any esp32 based will work even with one output but you will get reduced FPS( if you care about that ) . Go with one of the Gold Members [https://kno.wled.ge/features/multi-strip/](https://kno.wled.ge/features/multi-strip/) ---

1250 LEDs per output is quite a high number. Also keep in mind power requirements for whatever LEDs you choose to use. You will likely need several power injection points. Along with that comes proper fusing. With that in mind you would likely be best off to use something like a [Dig Octa](https://quinled.info/quinled-dig-octa/) or possibly a [Bong69](https://www.tindie.com/products/bong69/8-port-led-distro/)
