Patterns work just only at 1m. I am using a 5v power supply and I did update the LED count to 250. Is this a config or power issue? Kinda new to stuff like this and would really like to figure this out.

    @kevinhilton8683 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I wan't to say cool lights but --- #1 These are 5V which really limit there utility due to voltage drop and the distance the lights can be from the controller -- #2 I'm guessing power injection wouldn't be possible other than at the beginning and end. #3 - How do you cut these without fraying the rope and such. #4 - The LED density doesn't seem all that great. These probably more useful for effects and decoration rather than true lighting. Just my two cents.
