power supply question:
I have a single run of 3 full and a partial WS2812B 16.5 ft 5 volt strips on my house. approx 50-55 feet.
DRzzzs general current cal rule is 'number of lights divided by 5' to get a rough current requirement. mine above would be 11 amps.
I'm using a Meanwell EPS-15-5 which is rated at 5V 15W. I have 14 gauge landscape light stranded wire feeding each strip.
This works fine at my normal brightness of 15%. Even at 50% they look and operate fine. but when I try to crank it to full 100% brightness, it goes weird. it even locked up and started flashing at one point, requiring me to remove power from the nodeMCU.
Any opinions on my situation? Not that I plan or need to run at full brightness, but is 15amps not sufficient?
