Custom "flower and vines" props, custom sequences.

Thanks Al! You all have been tremendously helpful. Thanks so much.

Thanks Srmorgan--that's good to know. BTW, newbie question: is the concern about voltage drop due to the distance between each pixel, or the entire length of the string? My initial understanding is that it is both, is that right?

Thanks Terry. As far as you know, are the usual control boards able to drive the GS8208s? I have an F16V3, and the specifications don't explicitly call them out (or the 2815s) as supported. I don't see much traction for them yet on the Falcon forums. Perhaps I should have looked more closely at...

Super helpful, everyone, thanks. So it sounds like 18 AWG, 12V, 50-pixel-max, might work...if I stick with WS2811. I'll do more reading about GS8208, as you suggested AAH--from my quick search, seems like they could be a good successor to 2811 anyway, is that fair to say?

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has ordered 12V strings with, say, 12" or 18" of separation between the pixels, rather than 4". I'm thinking of embedding lights into shrubbery and up onto my trees, but need it to be only sparse, for a light twinkling effect, rather than a primary display...
