power supplies

[kernal]

Coro has supplies on deal of the day.  Good deal?

That's only 3.75 amps, just enough to power one string of 100 SS nodes.  IMO, you'd be better off buying an ATX power supply as you get much more power for your buck.  That's not to say that the one on coro wouldn't have its place in a display.

Just my 2 cents.

When I ordered from Ray I got one of his brick on a leash style that was 7 amp for like $8.00, it has been running a 124 nodes just lovely all month so far.

Next order I will have him get me some meanwell 12v supplies, they are a better known brand and I've not seen a single complaint about them online.  Here in the states Jameco sells them as well.

I like the good 80 plus rated atx power supplies because they are quiet and efficient.   Sweet spot pricing wise seems to be 45-52amps each.

I use a couple of these in my show.  1 to run my mr16/spot lights and another to run a ray 27 channel that runs my 6 coro stars and a dumb strip.
