I bought the WS2812b /5050 5VDC from Scott Led. I now have a 32x75 Matrix. ;D It's awesome, they come 30 leds per meter and they are fully addressable. And they are also IP68 water proof (they are in a sealed square poly sleeve.) I can do animations too. Yipeeee! They made them 75 length for me...

Great Info NZ! Guess I'll break out the drill and see what it looks like, as I have some spare polypipe. I purchased it from Home Depot (that's our home hardware super store) and it was wrapped about 2' diameter and 25' long. So it's already bent pretty well and I didn't have to bend it...

nzlongfellow -> The fencing is from Home Depot it's construction fencing, plastic with 1" squares. I made a template 1/4 circle about 26" then used tie-wraps to hold it together. Made it very easy to put the lights on. I used WS2811 strings and cut them to 40 leds, so I can use 4 strings of 50...

LOL, fortunately, the lawnmower is accessable thru the golf cart garage door. As for turning it sideways, I'm sure she'd take away my DC power supplies and make me sleep in the garage. ;) But she did give permission to make it bigger. Everyone needs a wife like her. ;D I've been working on...

OK wifey says text, so I build a 16' x 12" display of 8 strips of 2812B (30led/M). OK so each strip has 150 pixels, or 450 channels, x8 wow, that's 3600 EEEEK! :-\ . Now she says "I don't like the scrolling left to right. So now I'm making 4 rows of 8 strips cut at 75 leds so I can make text...

First year was Renard 24 with a 15'Megatree, 6 smaller trees, and house trim (windows, doors, roof) and a star on top of roof. I did about 5 songs with Vixen3. All these were LEDs. This Year it will be a mega-tree 400 pixels 8strands, 6 smaller trees, and 10 mini trees, 3 arches (using PEX)...
