H, Have searched, but cannnot find answer, I am sure that it has been asked,

Attached pictures are pixels from Ray Wu.

In XLights are they individual Pixels, or classified as One pixel.

Thanks in advance Deblen

Assuming WS2811, each 12V 3 led module would act as one node. For the 6 led module, can you see how many black ICs are on the back? Assuming just the one IC then these too I believe would act as a single node.

Each circle unit is considered a single pixel.

I use the 6 LED circle module in my garden lights.
They have a single WS2811 chip and act as a single pixel to xLights.

You can see in the rectangle modules that there is a single black chip, that means all 3 LEDs act as one pixel.
