SUCCESS!! I have managed to connect my new 27 channel DC board & 12v PSU (all shipped within a week of purchase) to some of my reels of dumb RGB strip lights and they work!
PLUS - I didn't even electrocute myself or blackout the house in the process!
Below are some shots of the lights in action. No sequencing just running off a test pattern built into the board. These 7 sections run off 2 channels and is enough length to cover the gutters across the front of the house.

All I need to do now is mount them to the cut up conduit I already have and cover with some corflute to diffuse the direct light, then attach to the gutters. I did have plans to have this all done by tonight so I could have them working for tomorrow (Halloween) but I'm about a day too short. At least I know I'm well prepared for Dec 1st (only 4 weeks to go :O)
