Plan LED and neon-flex load: watts, amps, power supply and cost
Casino Bregenz
Brazunelpo Charge is a load planner for anyone building a light artwork out of LED or neon-flex. Instead of guessing how much current a sign will pull once every letter and curve is lit, you assemble the piece segment by segment on screen and watch the electrical demand add up as you go.
Each segment starts with a light-type chip. From there you enter either a length in metres or a bulb count, whichever matches the way you measure your materials, and set a brightness slider to the level you actually intend to run. The live gauge responds immediately: total watts, amp draw, the recommended power-supply size with headroom already allowed for, and the daily cost of keeping the sign on. Add another stroke of neon-flex and the figures move again, so you can feel the weight of every design decision while you are still making it.
That live feedback is what turns the planning stage into something practical. If the amp draw climbs higher than the supply you have on the shelf, you can dim a segment, shorten a run or change the light type and see the result straight away. If the running cost looks steeper than the brief allows, you can find out which part of the artwork is responsible before anything is cut or soldered.

Builds can be saved, which means a sign does not have to be finished in one sitting and variants need not be rebuilt from memory. Saved builds can be compared side by side, so a brighter version and a leaner version of the same piece can be weighed against each other on real numbers rather than impressions.
The full load report pulls everything together. It breaks the build down into per-segment watt shares, showing which letters, outlines or fills dominate the draw, and sets out running cost by day, by month and by year. That is the document to hand a client who wants to understand the quote, or to keep beside you when you specify the transformer and sketch out the wiring.

Whether you are organising a shopfront sign, a stage backdrop, a studio piece or a workshop project at home, Brazunelpo Charge keeps the electrical side of the work in plain view: what the artwork will consume, how big a supply it needs, and what it costs to leave glowing.
