I am just a cautious guy Sam. Wish you were going to the Academy so we could meet face to face. I have 6 porch columns and I have 6 SSCs for them, but could probably do what you are thinking about for them since they are only about 4 ft apart. After the v4 coop gets here I will probably have 50 SSCs, but this will be my 3rd yr with RGB. I am hoping to get rid of my last incans this year, 16 mini trees and 4 archs. I am repurposing LEDs that were replaced with RGB nodes for mini trees and am planning to pick up a couple more flexstrips to use for the arches.
