I spent 20 minutes trying to find this tree at Bunnings last night. Saw it on display and had to have it straight away.

Bunnings have a big solar light around 30cm which would be easily made into a pixel. They are our version of the really big light that the US people can get. Similar to these but only $15. https://www.bunnings.com.au/lytworx-solar-colour-changing-led-ball_p4352350

Here is my show for 2016, sorry about the video quality but you will get a fair idea. Enjoy https://youtu.be/MxIEgn2LuJg

The pre sale on the PixLite16 MKII boards ended a while ago, but looks like you only just missed the long range pre sale.

I have just used screw hooks into the timber surrounds of the window. Then zip tie the frame to them & the security screens.

strips not strings, reduced the usage by lots & lots Roy. But don't get me wrong it's still 100amps & 1200watts.

That sounds great to me

I have never had any real luck using a sponge. Swapped over to using one of these instead. They are available from Jaycar. http://www.jaycar.com.au/Tools-%26-Soldering/Soldering/Accessories/Soldering-Iron-Tip-Cleaner/p/TS1510

I'll grab 5 please Alec, not sure what for but they sound like a price I can handle :) Pick up from Melbourne mini.

That is a good looking star, is the main frame box or flat bar? I was thinking I need to change the one I made last year from steel to alloy. Here is a 1300mm tall Bethlehem star, from memory I think it has 180 INK1003 pixels on each side. Still waiting to get a tree to put that on top of....

Re: Hi Welcome to ACL Shimmer, it's great to see that you have dove in deep & getting stuck right into making a display. If you keep going at this pace you will be blowing the big guns out of the water straight up.
