PowerBoost

Stop letting port limits dictate your design.

Why PowerBoost?

Standard controllers often cap out at 5A per channel, forcing you to buy more controllers than you actually need. Our PowerBoost technology breaks that ceiling.

• 12A Per Channel: More than double your power capacity per port.

• Longer Strings: Run more pixels per output without the dreaded "pink-out" or flickering.

• Save Money: Fewer control channels mean fewer expensive controllers to buy and mount.

• Smart Sync: If your controller shuts off power when pixels are not being used, the PowerBoost follows suit automatically.

Price: $25

PowerBreakout

Whether you are powering your expensive controllers, power injecting, or directly wired to pixels, standard power supplies do not offer built-in fuse protection. The PowerBreakout bridges that gap, attaching directly to your 5V or 12V supply to give you fused control exactly where you need it.

Why it belongs in your build:

• 12A Per Channel Capacity: Built to handle high-density props and long runs without breaking a sweat.

• Fast-Track Wiring: Features spring-loaded wire connections. No more fumbling with tiny screwdrivers in the cold—just push, insert, and secure for a rock-solid connection.

• On-Board Fusing: Protect your pixels and your controller by fusing each output right at the power source with a fuse appropriate for what's connected.

• Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both 5V and 12V power supplies.

Builder's Insight: Most builders spend hours crimping and screwing down terminals. The PowerBreakout cut my wiring time in half and made my enclosures look professional instead of like a "spaghetti mess."

RemotePower

Automate your power. Protect your gear. Save on your bill.

Stop manually flipping breakers or leaving your power supplies running all day. RemotePower gives you wireless, scheduled control over your entire display's power grid.

Why Every Show Needs RemotePower:

• FPP Native Integration: Add a Command in your FPP Scheduler to power on the show before the music starts and kill the power the second the last song ends.

• Home Assistant Ready: View the status of your show's power from your phone or include it in your "Goodnight" automation.

• Save Money: High-wattage power supplies pull "vampire power" even when pixels are off. RemotePower cuts that draw to zero.

• Increased Safety: By de-energizing your enclosures when the show isn't running, you reduce wear on your components, extend the life of your pixels, and minimize fire risks.

Santa's Setup: Set an FPP Event for 5:55 PM to Power ON and another for 10:05 PM to Power OFF. It’s truly "set it and forget it" lighting.

SignalBoost

⚡ Keep the Lights Flashing—Not Flickering

The Santa's Lab Dual-Action Signal & Power Stabilizer.

Ever had the end of your pixel string start flickering or turning a dull orange when it should be bright white? That’s your pixels crying for help. Our "F-Amp on Steroids" is specifically engineered for 4-core light strings to ensure your data stays crisp and your power stays balanced.

Two Show-Stabilizing Tools, One Small Package:

1. The Signal Booster: Acts as a data repeater to "clean" and amplify the signal over long distances. No more glitching or "ghost" pixels at the end of the line.

2. The "H" Power Balancer: Incorporates a power path that balances voltage across the string. It eliminates dimming and ensures color consistency from the first pixel to the last.

Custom Built for Your Rig:

Don't mess with adapters or soldering in the cold. We ship these ready to plug-and-play. Just let us know which flavor you run:

• Ray Wu Pigtails

• xConnect Pigtails

Santa’s Tip: If you're running 5V pixels over a long distance, this isn't just an accessory—it's a requirement to keep your show looking professional.
