How It Started

When Ron Haines reached out about a custom lighting project, the requirement was clear: he needed flexible RGB LED strips that could deliver dynamic, programmable effects for a large-scale display.

This was not a simple accent lighting job. The installation required:

  • SK6812 addressable pixels for smooth, detailed effects

  • Flexible strips that could follow curved or complex layouts

  • A complete control system — strips, controller, power supplies, and wiring

Ron chose our 20pixels/m SK6812 5050 RGB flexible LED strip as the core component.

Roll Length

2.5 meters per roll

Input Lead

8cm

Output Lead

230cm

Quantity

32 rolls

The 230cm output lead is a notable feature — it allows each strip section to be connected to the next without additional extension cables, simplifying the installation and reducing potential failure points.


The Complete System

Ron's project was not just about the strips. It required a complete, matched system:

Why This Combination Worked

Component

Role in the System

SK6812 strips

Addressable RGB pixels for dynamic effects

K1000C controller

Programmable control for animations and scenes

LRS-350-5V MEANWELL power supplies

Stable 5V power for the full installation

3-pin bare wires

Flexible wiring for custom connections

This is a complete, project-ready package — strips, control, power, and wiring supplied together.


The Outcome: A Project Worth Sharing

After the installation was completed, Ron shared the result with us — and it was impressive.

The lighting display featured:

  • Dense, addressable pixel effects

  • Vibrant RGB color mixing

  • Smooth, flowing animations across the installation

The visual impact was significant enough that it became a showcase project — and we were proud to be part of it.

Amazing project made by Ron Haines — thanks for your sharing and support.
