==== How to Reduce Power? ====
Consider looking at [https://magicallightshows.com/collections/pixels-and-cables/products/pre-order-magicolour-pixels Magiclour Pixels] from Magical Light Shows which have a smaller power draw of 54.126 total Amps / 650 total Watts.
 
==== Power Observations ====
Power readings were taken on 4,499 pixels with a configured max brightness of 20%. At peak consumption they had a 6.5A current draw and used 572W of power. Extrapolating out for a build of 9,344 pixels, configured in the same manner, we arrive at a total current draw of 13.5A for the pixel tree.

Design Overview

Target height of 24' tall with 32 strands in 50% circumference, each strand having 1" pixel spacing (mega tree calculator)

292 pixels per strand at 1" spacing, 32 strands yields 9,344 pixels.

112.13 total Amps / 1345.56 total Watts

How to Reduce Power?

Consider looking at Magiclour Pixels from Magical Light Shows which have a smaller power draw of 54.126 total Amps / 650 total Watts.

Power Observations

Power readings were taken on 4,499 pixels with a configured max brightness of 20%. At peak consumption they had a 6.5A current draw and used 572W of power. Extrapolating out for a build of 9,344 pixels, configured in the same manner, we arrive at a total current draw of 13.5A for the pixel tree.
