    Help with Xlights buttons / Web API

    Thanks! Let me try that. So if you call the API directly you don't need to setup buttons?

    Pixel tree around a real tree trunk?

    I have a pixel trees (of sorts). Not megatree format with strands but I simply wrap the trunks. It may be another option for you. The trees are wrapped in strings of 1000 pixels (power injection every 2 strings). Consumes a lot of power but always a talking point. Good luck. Video: View...

    Cheap Projectors

    I've tried and failed with those cheap projectors off Ebay. Recently purchased a 2nd hand NEC short throw projector which had been installed at a Uni. Cost $100 and has 1500 hours left on the lamp which is tons. Brightness and image quality is far better than the cheap LED ones I'd say...

    Attaching led string to roof tiles and roof caps

    Two things I've tried with success 1. Silicon some cable tie clips (make sure you remove the backing paper / double sided tape first) to the tiles. Then cable tie lights down. They need replacing every 2-3 years in my experience. 2. Use fine tile wire hooked in under the tiles (twist around...
