The 25mm mesh aperture seems to have held up well. I went with 50mm on my matrix this year as my seeds are 2inch spaced, and also went horizontally rather than vertical with my runs. If I do go with some form of mesh down the driveway I think smaller aperture and vertical might be the way to go...

Thanks @Skymaster, this is what I was looking for re: the White coro option. @Jon_101 now that you have packed away your matrix, do you have any experience/lessons to share in how you would improve for next year? Also, how did you go about keeping panels aligned/leaving enough pixel cable to...

Appreciate the input so far, but to keep this post on track - I already have a viable garage door solution. This is about people's experience and solutions lighting their driveways, based on the three options I posed, cheers :D

Hi all, I have a sloped driveway that narrows at the bottom and ive always thought it was a dead light area. My wife's one condition to my show is that the garage remains usable throughout, and putting netting or a matrix frame over the driveway has always been in the too difficult bucket...

haha, we've all been there mate. Glad I could help. Best of luck putting the finishing touches on!

Down the bottom left of the sequence window is the Suspend Render checkbox filled in?

Side matrix is 4 wire drop seeds with return wire, not zip tied. You can see the dimming when the strings turn. The garage door and roof are zip tied every 10th pixel or so. Some work to do to clean up the lines, but happier with that luminescence

Because I was putting it up against the garage door it caused a lot of light blooming as the pixels were at times more facing the door then than the street, and I wasnt happy with the effect. I could still make out the image, but it wasnt as uniform as I would have been happy with

2400 pixel garage seed Matrix, in three sections to allow the garage door to remain operational (my wife's one demand). Each section is 80 * 10, 5cm spaced 12v seeds, 1 port with power balancing at pixels 320 and 640 from the one input cable (no PI from separate cables). Max brightness is 40%...

Great work Jon! I experimented with the 10mm Polycarb option (https://www.bunnings.com.au/suntuf-sunlite-10mm-x-3m-solar-control-grey-twinwall-polycarbonate-roofing_p1010772) but returned it as I couldnt find a way to keep the seeds from twisting in the channels. I missed this option in...

@AAH

All Hansen products for mine: 2 * HE123 Mk2 with full port licencing running ~16,000 pixels 2 * HE123-TX sending to 5 * HE123-RX2 2 * Power4 power distribution boards providing PI to reduce ethernet cables around yard / over roof. Mk2 on roof also has the HE123-PX2 16 port expansion to run the...

Not agreeing with what they are doing, just adding an honest question. Can't users just stay at XLights 2023.1 or earlier and keep their shows going as is?

Interesting that the competitors in the responses aren't replying with 'that's what happens when you are a tax cheat', but rather 'why did he have to shine the spotlight on me too' or 'I'll get him for this'...
