[QUOTE="HomeY, post: 1063610, member: 68365"] I haven't seen anything specific about the power connections on the specs of the LEDs i ordered, but i've read on [URL='http://shop.led-studien.de/de/led-komponenten1/flexband-digital/led-flexband-digital-ws2812-4m']led-studien.de[/URL] they suggest to attach power every 2 meters (for almost similar LEDs). I've just returned from a trip to our local electronics shop ;) and got me a nice 5V 20A industrial powersupply: [url]http://www.eijlander.nl/S100F05-Geschakelde-Voeding-Single-Output-100w-5v-20a-a-354761-1988.html[/url] If needed i can always split the power into 2 parts (which i probably do, because the cable that connects the LEDs all together should also be able to handle at least 8A (or 14,4 when the entire strip is powered at once...) Arduino Leonardo + casing ordered and just received an email that my LEDs are already packed and ready for shipping :D I'm so so curious about the results once it's done :D [/QUOTE]
