Ha ha ha! Cue the gif of her scowling face!

Oh funny @merryoncherry! I did understand in my reading it was a discrete chip, but didn't know what the ramifications , I wonder why they are $100 less for 3,000 of the supposed 2818's and $100 more for 3,000 of the 2815's? Well, I'll just ask when I email him the order if one is known to be...

Okay, that makes sense. Super interesting. It's funny because in the end, I suspect I'm going to end up with alot of domes and seeds, and fewer of the bullet style (8208 which I WOULD have gotten). So I now understand a product well that I may not end up owning a bunch of lol.

Okay interesting. Adds to the complication when we ask for custom specifics or questions about a specific type of light I suppose. Everything in the video you posted above of them manufacturing pixels was all the bullet style. Like you guys were saying earlier in this thread, "they just work"...

K nice. Yep that's the store I've been searching through. Goodnight so so so many options. Hard to tell even what the differences between the various seemingly similar products are too.

I realize this is an old thread, But adding commentary to an old topic; I lost interest in the RGBW configuration once I realized that it consumes more channels/less pixels. They say you understand something when you can explain it back to another person, which I can't yet. What makes the...

Just curious, have you also tried the dome/gumdrops from Ray @macmanluke? They have that diffused look. Does Ray actually manufacture all of that peripheral stuff do you think? Obviously he manufactures the bullets, but he has a massive amount of cool products on his Alibaba page (the main...

Just think with seeds... If you maxed out a Kulp 32, each channel running 780 seeds, 280 15mm spaced seeds per mega-tree strand, up down and back up again equaling 780 per channel, you'd have a 24,960 seed-pixel mega tree 😈

How long have you had them? They been reliable so far? @merryoncherry sent a sample pack so I have been having a ton of fun playing with them :) My current plan is to buy/make some simple props to put these into place for this season (already have the dumb lights up), and after staring at the...

On another topic, what would you folks say are the pros and cons of the Baldrick controllers and the Kulp controllers? If I went Baldrick, I'd grab that 17 channel, but if I got the Kulp, I'd grab the 32 as it's hardly any more money then the Baldrick 17. As for my first order, waiting for a...

Aside from the major failures as you mentioned, that's a more than doable statistic. 40k junked is a brutal set of batches though ouch... that's some serious money you lost in that 🤯 Before you guys explained to me the chip based vs the module/SMD types with the built in chips, I had emailed...

Ha ha ha ha what a bummer even the Big Three aren't accurate on their gauges. I assumed if anyone would accurately state their wire size it would be them, or at minimum Ray who seems to be so well loved. All the resellers are presumably reselling their stuff, or cheaper no-name manufacturers...

Thank you guys for the incredible info. I went line by line on the commentary and added a few follow up questions at the end. Okay how about that. On paper, I like the dual data line concept [edit: future me will laugh at this statement]. The two videos were great, I had never seen those two...

Don't want to thread hijack... I built my reply into a new post.

What a refreshing group. You Christmas loving peeps are amazing. I'm new, and thought I better start my own thread rather than inadvertently hijacking others with my learning. That GS2808 thread sold me on starting with them, either China-direct from Ray Wu, Paul from Etop, Shiji-leds, or...
