Ok I will have to do that too. I like that. Thanks for the help.

I love lights. I have a few powerful flashlights that I was excited to get but every time I think about doing this light show I get excited. Thank you for pointing me to the sequence for blinging lights.

Thanks for the advice. I will check out the tomato cages. Do you have a pic of how you have them setup?

I saw your videos and “WOW”. That is awesome! Well since I’m thinking about going with half the pixels on a 180 degree mega tree. What would you suggest I do with an other 4000 pixels? How many pixels do your small trees have. I did want to do about 6 to 8 of them eventually. Also from where...

I’ve been thinking about your suggestion and I think you might be right. I do want to be able to see the tree from the front looking out but that might be something I will just have to deal with. What do you think about going every inch instead of every 2 inches? How would 1” spacing look...

Who do you recommend to get the lights from?

Where can you buy the pixel lights in bulk? The ones I found were about $2200 for 8000 lights. I would prefer to buy bulk, I’m just not sure who to get them from.

Ok I’m pretty sure I understand what you’re saying. Thank you.

What I’m trying to say is I’m a little ocd. Having a tree that is not 360 degrees would bother me. I’ve seen them done like that and it looks good, but I know it would bother me. Plus for the neighbors to see the whole tree it would need to be 280 degrees and I would rather just finish the full 360.

I’m sorry. I meant to say 360 degrees. That’s my fault. From the neighbors houses it would look flat and I don’t want to see the back of the tree from my house.

I see what you’re saying now. That’s only 5 more pixels per strand. That works for me. So I could use a falcon f16v4 with an expansion board and run 64 strands with 3 strings each on 32 ports? Did I get the terminology correct? Sorry I’m still learning all this.

No I really want a 180 degree tree because it’s right in front of my house and between 2 neighbors. I just think it will look better that way.

Indigogyre, I just noticed you said nice car. That is actually a friends car that I did some work on for him. This is my car. Or I should say was my my car as I sold it recently. 9.00 seconds at 151 mph on pump gas. It was a daily driver for a while but it cost too much to drive and keep up...

I was looking at the falcon F16V4 tonight with the expansion ports. I was wondering about having the strand go up and then back down so instead of having to use 64 channels I would only need 32. But I don’t know if that would work. Or do I have to wire it differently? I read that the falcon...

Yes I found a 1000 watt power supply that will work. I found that on another site that said I needed 8 350 watt. I checked the power requirements of the lights and 1000 will run them with a lot of room to spare. I’ve been told I should start smaller but that’s not me. I have always been...
