    Newbie help with RGB bullets

    TerryK, thanks for the help. I did not realize that power would be required so often. The largest letters are 105 lights, the smallest about 50. Thanks for the advice on vendors. I think your idea of ordering a string of 50 first is the right move.

    I got it to load with cut and paste. The one on the right is my new pixels that I used for this project. The one on the left is an older leftover. Both of these are showing full on white.

    I can't get the new picture upload. ("Something went wrong please try again or notify the administrator.") I have a picture now of two pixels side by side, one of them is a leftover from the train project a few years ago, and one is the new pixel. They are very different with the three...

    I'm having trouble uploading photos, but the one above shows what I'm talking about. No, they are mounted so that you are looking at them from the top. The picture exagerates the effect as some of it washes out due to the brightnes you are staring at normally, but it is still quite noticable...

    Newbie help with RGB bullets

    I just installed 1000 bullets in a beer sign I am doing. After I fired it up, I am a little disappointed that the colors don't blend really well and when showing full-on white, each pixel has a green, blue, or red tint visible depending on its rotation in the mount. It get's a lot more...

    Hello to all from Eagan, Minnesota, USA

    I am doing a rather unusual project to animate a Grain Belt Beer sign that I am building. It is a 1/5 scale copy of a sign that has been in Minneapolis for about 75 years. The original is 40' square and my sign is about 8 feet square. There are 10 switchable neon segments and 997 neo...
