I designed my led system at home in the basement which is not as big but same principle. It all depends on: 1. Distance 2. Type of LED: W, RGB, RGBW, RGBWCCT 3. Brand of LED manufacturer 4. Number of LED per meter aka amperage draw 5. 24v verse 12v

If this is a loop, like a rectangle, you can inject from beginning and end since that is the same point, otherwise, you'll need power injected at some distance. For long distances you'll need to calculate the power loss to figure that out. I used quinled.info site to get all this information and decided upon an RGBW LED setup using 24 volts and injecting at beginning and end of rectangle. This was for 20 meters, fyi, not 50 meters. RGBWCCT was too much amperage draw over distance and this was my first time doing it. Learn how to solder because using the snap-on connectors suck...I am redoing those connectors by soldering b/c two have failed so far.
