    A short ambient show that repeats gracefully?

    It seems like a simple fade in and fade out of all effects would be an easy way to create background show that would loop easily. Also, if the goal is to have a show that "flickers" it should be easy to find a point in time where no lights are on that you can end the sequence and have it...

    ChromaTrim and Conduit behind eaves

    I would love to give these clips a shot but, for the life of me, I can't seem to find a US-based supplier for them. Anyone know of a US source?

    Ray wu response / delivery times

    Ray's response and turnaround times can vary depending on the time of year, due to holidays and workload, and also depending on the complexity of your order, such as if you have custom items or a large order. My suggestion is to be a squeaky wheel. Reach out to him frequently instead of waiting...

    LED string lights - Higher quality and brighter

    Similar to what you typed before should be good: "- RGB 12v smart pixel nodes - WS2811 IC - 20 - 30cm spacing - AWG18 in green wire - 5m per strand - terminated ends ready to plug into a controller - X number of strands" Ray should reply back confirming if he can accommodate the request as...

    LED string lights - Higher quality and brighter

    Pardon, you are correct. Basically, my point was that dumb strands / strips are cheaper to make because they are less complex than smart strands / strips.

    LED string lights - Higher quality and brighter

    Ray can do custom strands like you are wanting. Just send him as must detail as possible on what you want and he'll come back to you with details on what it will cost to make. Smart strands are more expensive to build because they require IC chips for each pixel as opposed to dumb strands that...

    Lawrence Drive Lights - Spiral Tree Build

    Awesome. Thanks! They look great! My wife was bummed when our small spiral trees (incandescent) burned out and broke apart a few years ago so I've been looking to replace them with something similar but RGB. This will do the trick cheap and easy!

    Lawrence Drive Lights - Spiral Tree Build

    Great! I love simple and effective! I would love to see a video of these in action! Are the frames 3 plant stakes tied together or do they come as a pre-built frame? If so, I would love a link to where you got them!

    Cheap Projectors

    I keep an eye out on Craigslist and eBay throughout the year for used projectors with low to mid lamp hours. You can typically good deals them for around $75 - $150. I find that the Epson Powerlite 80 and 90 models are pretty often available in this price range. 2000+ lumens, LAN port, HDMI (on...

    Newbie with plan in place and ready to pull the trigger. Would like suggestions!

    Sorry, I just saw this reply. The spreadsheet is something I built myself but you're welcome to use it for your purposes if you like. I've attached a copy. The "Distance" columns are a bit misleading in title. They should actually be titled "Length" because they indicate the length of each...
