[QUOTE="orlandoal, post: 127007, member: 37132"] That star looks like it will be great once it is lit up. I am new to Pixels this year, but have been doing AC lights for years, totally different way of doing things I agree. I have also read and watched videos at Ni Lights and I think Steve seems to really have his head around most of this hobby. His is the quite often the first place I will look if I am having trouble grasping something. So far I have with any amount of pixels always joined the first and last pixels together, so power is basically passing in both directions, allbeit from only one power source. When joining pixels together, I have either used the connectors on either end or spliced them together, I also connect the two pig tails at the end and start of the strings. I have not set any strings to run at more than 30% I am not much more than 20 feet from the road so don't require anywhere near 100%. My biggest props so far are only 167 pixels, so far all the pixels look to be the colour they are meant to be and the whites are white. I have strung props together on the same channel totaling around 450 or so and as yet had no issues. I have attached a picture of the back of a pumpkin to show what I mean with regards to connecting the strings. Also with props where pixels jump around in order, I like to number some of the holes and make some pointer marks to show direction. You really do not want to be popping out several hundred pixels because they are all one out. Those joint points also give me the capacity to easily pop in a power injection lead somewhere in the string. Hope it helps in some small way, OR maybe someone can tell me how to to it better and differently, always willing to learn something different or have someone point out a much easier solution.

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
