    Wiring for new house

    RGB Flood lights

    Did you email him direct? They can often do better prices/shipping that from AliExpress. I just got a couple of new floods (plus 6k seeds/bunch of extensions/tails) a few months ago for a reasonable shipping amount.

    Outdoor wifi / AP solutions

    You can run Unifi AP's without having a controller. I ran a unifi AP along with my regular ASUS router for several months before going out and getting a dream machine.

    Outdoor wifi / AP solutions

    I recently upgraded from a ASUS wireless router that I had been using for the past 12years to a Unifi system with proper access points. Been a huge improvement in coverage and also a huge improvement in throughput. I had some devises that didn't quite work well on the old system, and on the...

    Last Bullet Pixel in 270 pixel String Won't Light Up With Xlights But Will With Baldrickboard Software.

    double check you have exported your layout to the controller. Given they are lighting up in test mode, its something to do with how you have set it up.

    Welding Mega-Tree Topper

    Don't bother welding, use one of these. I've been using it for a few years and works great. A few bolts and you're done. It makes a huge difference to weight as you can put the pole up and then lift the topper in place. It's very hard to lift a pole and topper in place in one go...

    House Numbers with pixels

    Not sure, i think you would get a reasonable about of time if they are not in direct sun. Even if its a few years, can always just reprint the same file. 3D printing has been a game changer, I now have to remember that 3D isn't the solution to everything hahaha.

    Coro in Perth

    There isn't any vendors here in Perth that sell coro props. You might be able to find a company to cut coro if you have the design files, sign shops, companies with a CNC router table etc. Getting/making the prop design files is quite a bit of work. Shipping is expensive, but i've somewhat...

    First Pixel Order – Would Love Some Advice

    When you are ordering that many, you can get them anyway you like. Get the seeds made up with the exact number you need with the exact length tails you need. I did something very similar last year. I ordered 50 sets of 260seeds at 3cm spacing. I also requested 1m tails at both ends, and 2core...
