pixels

Hello I am new to the pixel light hobby and I just wanted to get some reassurance before I get too far ahead of myself. So far I have purchased the Falcon F16v5 controller and a Raspberry Pi which I installed the FPP software on. I have only 1 string of lights connected so far which I have on...

Hi, first time poster and looking to start the light show worm hole in 2024, I currently have a large stock of Bunnings style 2 wire string lights and am waiting to have some of these incorporated in the first year. I have been looking at / recommended the Hansen Electronics Dmx2-24 Ready to...

THESE ARE NOT PIXELS.... I bought some to test and they are driven as a 3ch H-Bridge. I went for a trip to Bunnings today. In the recent years they have brought out more offerings of 'smart' lights. From standard LED strings with a WiFi plug multi-function controller to these seemingly pixels...

Soldering all the pixels into place and power injecting at the same time. The strings of pixels were cut very short previously... this took a lot of soldering!

Hi I received my first bulk order of pixels yesterday and have started playing around with them, but am stuck at the first hurdle and cannot get them to light up during my initial tests. I have some other pixels which I bought a while back as a practice to get familiar with the process and...

I've got a ton of incandescent lights now but want to get in to RGB pixels for next year. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so I'm ready to start buying after the holiday. Hopefully then the prices will drop as demand drops. I'm open for any pointers or sites that sale quality products...

Hi All, Firstly, awesome community you have here lads!! Everyone is super helpful and keen for lighting madness! Shoutout to @darylc who is a uber legend sending through a special edition F16v3 quick smart. So anyway.... I've been reading, searching and attempting to answer my own questions...

Hey guys. Silly question. I’m looking to get quotes from Ray for some 12v nodes that are Rgb individually addressable. Just the standard bullet ones that everyone uses, but I can’t for the life of me find the right ones on his site. Can anyone share the link here please?

I'm newly returning to seek help. Looking through the forums, I can't tell you how impressed I am with all the opportunities here. I am disabled, therefore poor, and in desperate need of assistance. The question: outside of obviously burned to death pixels, can I test 12V 12mm led pixels with...

I want to try to keep cost to a minimum because the F48 and 3 differential boards will cost me around $380NZD and I don't want to purchase separate boards to use dumb RGB strips. 2018 I made my own controller using an Arduino with transistor switching boards. I have 25 boards each with 6 NPN...

Presented by darylc. Forms of pixels (strip, modules and strings/nodes) and led panel sizes.

My crazy light lady has spent some time putting pixels on our old led reindeers 3 more to do at this stage anyways (as it seems most years they miraculously multiply during the off season lol) so we have used 12v 2811 nodes roughly 150 per reindeer smallest front one 130 and bigger one 163 nodes...

Presented by lithgowlights. What happens to your RGB Pixels if you don't inject power and what are the common methods of power injection with one or multiple power supplies?

I'm sure this could have been covered before, and it may even be a case of Ford Vs Holden (Kia man now myself btw) but looking for feedback on broadcasting your show via unicast vs multicast. As discussed at the Melb Mini this year, it was pointed out that for larger channel count shows...
