Hello everyone!
I bought a 5 meter long RGB LED strip and cut into 2 equal pieces for lighting up the top and bottom of my desk. Then, using a Y-splitter, I connected them to the M8F's RGB Header and they are working perfectly in all modes with very good brightness (my room is bright in the day but the light from the 5m strip is still not affected by it). At night, the strip is bright enough for me to move around my room as usual without turning on the main ceiling lights.
My concern is would this damage the motherboard in anyway? The manual only says use strips below 2m for maximum brightness. So if I can accept a lower brightness, I assume that I should be able to use this 5m strip without anything going wrong.
I am posting this to get your thoughts/experiences on this. I will post pictures in like a week when I am done with all the wiring on my desk.
Let's talk about RGB!
