How Do You Prevent Voltage Drop on a 5V WS2812B LED Strip?
I'm setting up a 5V WS2812B strip with 300 LEDs (5 metres, 60 LEDs per metre) and want to avoid uneven brightness or colour changes near the end of the strip.
At full white, the theoretical maximum current can reach around 18A, so I'm considering a 5 V 20 A power supply with power injection at both ends.
For those using Among Us Online Athom WLED controllers, what wiring setup has worked best for this kind of installation? Do you recommend injecting power at both ends, adding a connection in the middle, or limiting brightness in WLED?
I'd appreciate advice on cable gauge, fuse placement, and how to check voltage safely under load.
