    Seed pixel struggles

    Don't believe there's any tension. The ones that can wiggle were the dodgy roll, they flicker and carry on. The ones that die on the props just die. It's strange as. The Merry Christmas sign on the roof copes all the rain and sun, and is going well. It seems to be the ones on the fence or...

    Seed pixel struggles

    Yeah my GFLAIs are dying at the same rate at 5v. Saying that my second roll from them was faulty every 10th-15th was faulty. Mine "seems" to be a wiring issue, as in the faulty lot if you wiggle the cable it will intermediately flicker. So I reckon water might be ingressing in that way maybe...

    Seed Pixels in Aust ?

    I went with the GFLAI seeds, and it was like $90 per roll, so like 2000 pixels at 5V5CM, add shipping. First roll was really good, seem reliable and came out great: Second roll however seems like every 20-30th seed is dodgy and not making good contact on the wire 😩 Wiggling and some gluing...

    Checking in with the rest of the Pre-Christmas Rush

    I've used these previously, https://www.bunnings.com.au/arlec-100-entertainment-light-multi-purpose-clips_p4352306 Kinda painful making each one, but they lasted the season easily and did the job well.

    pixel mounting strip fixing

    Oh I feel like that's a great option - keen to see the photos. I went with 2nd hand pvc pipe/conduit from gumtree. Then cut a 2'ish cm strip from it so that it slid onto the gutter - seemed to still hold it's structure fine, then painted the same color as the gutter with some holes in case of...

    Tips on getting power injection cables to locations around the house for strings

    I actually didn't even realise you could buy icicles like that either, "how do people run these, must take forever to make - oh doh". Second mistake was showing wifey...

    Tips on getting power injection cables to locations around the house for strings

    That's a clean setup love it! Not to hijack the thread, would love to hear how you have wired up your icicle 5v as they're unreal.

    More new stuff and "ready to run" on the way

    But that takes out all the fun of ordering the wrong parts and only realising it when you put it all together!
