ukewarrior, it's been a while since you posted this, but I could not agree more. But, my problem is that I'm new to RGBs with controllers powered by 12V power supplies, and I am not an electrician. I am overly cautious. What size fuse, and what type of inline fuse carrier, do you suggest between the 12V power supply and a E682 controller? I could not find this info anywhere on the forums, although I found your post and I can see in a couple of John Storms' videos a black plastic inline fuse holder on his line from the PSU to the controller. He doesn't mention the fuse size, wire gauge (or I missed it if he did).
