Using 9 of these. Very convenient to add some ports in far corners.
A few tips, however, as there are design constraints.
xlights really can't use the smart LRR technology to its full potential. Using the 16-port LRRs, don't daisy chain them. xlights channel assignment is buggy unless you check "universe per string". A 16-port LRR has 4 of its ports chained on the same stream from the master controller, so if you use all 4 of them, that's 4 universes, and that's the most the master supports. While the Smart LRR can easily drive 200 pixels per port, there is a max of 680 pixels across each set of 4 ports because they're on the same stream from the master. Finally, for the larger props you will use the "cascade on port" feature of xlights, so you have to balance the "cascade on port" with the max pixels per stream.
Took me a couple of tries to get the first one set up, but now that I'm used to it, no big deal.
