TL; DR: Can anyone recommend a source for icicle lights that run off <50VDC and aren't compromising on brightness? Hi everyone, we started a big-ish display last year and are hoping to make some improvements this year. One item that caused some difficulty were simple icicles running around the...

Sorry for the late reply but thanks to all of you for the detailed replies! A few ideas for me to think through there. Aha! This is definitely something I was looking for, thank you!

I am trying to understand whether xLights is capable of certain behaviours, how to achieve them, and which models it can do it on. I have a few different things but it mostly boils down to two examples. Let's say I am outlining a rectangular roof section and I would like it to still...

I'd never given it thought but that makes sense, and helpful to know the power line is just passthrough - thanks! (And thanks for the fast reply!)

Thank you I will try both and see how I go. Also does anyone know if the 2811DC2-30 takes a particular voltage for the 2811 signal or will it adapt to whatever?

Thank you, you are probably right re 2811 vs DMX - some of these ones will probably be a long way from the Baldrick so I think I am better off adding a separate controller (I'm assuming a Dig-Uno will handle it ok) so that the run is ethernet rather than 2811 (or even WiFi if I get stuck). How...

Hi all and thanks for the great resources. I got started last year with pixel lights and a Baldrick Board from Hanson Electronics, and this year I was hoping to add some "normal" (2-wire?) strings to the mix. I'm also setting up a display for my church that will similarly be a mixture of pixels...
