[QUOTE="bedingfeld, post: 114501, member: 33996"] Hi All I have been looking at Pixel light shows for a few years and now want to get involved and set up for Xmas 2021 with a small display. Small display, I'm talking probably House outlines, vertical lines on columns, Small Mega tree 2.5-3m tall, couple of snow flakes and some jumping arches. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the information, I have downloaded the 101 Manual and that has some great information. I was going to use xlights to do the layout and synchronization of the display. Is this the best starting point to lay out your display how you would envision it looking then you know how many pixels your working with? This will then trigger the shopping list of what is required. [B]Mega tree[/B] I was going to do a 180deg 2.5-3m tall. How many strands would you recommend if you want to display images? Star - what is the best star to buy on the market, I would like approx 5 strings through the star? Pixel Strip - What is the best place to buy this from? Pixels - I was thinking 5v Bullet style would you recommend WB2811 or WB2812? Pixel spacing every 2inches? Power Injection - Would you power inject at the bottom of each strand? What power supply is required for running this type of tree? Controller - Up in the air on what is required here? Im leaning to go with the[SIZE=3][FONT=arial] [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=4][FONT=arial]F16V3 Pixel Controller - Ready to Run this has MeanWell 350W 12V or 5V Power Supply, CG-1500 Enclosure, Pigtails, 3-wire Power Cable, Cat5e Cable, Cat5e Coupler and Falcon Mounting Plate. Can this be mounted approx 5m away from the base of the tree? If I got the F16V3 Pixel Controller - Ready to Run controller - would I need to get more controllers to run the roof outline, snowflakes, and jumping arches, or is this big enough to run the whole lot. If your running multiple controllers do you need specific types to talk to each other? How many power modules would you typically buy for this sort of set up?[/FONT][/SIZE] [B]Mounting House Outline[/B] I was thinking of permanently mounting the lights to the facia. What are the best mounting options? Would you use pixel strips? Mounting to Bricks options? [B]Leaping arches[/B] What is the best material to construct these out of in Australia? Does anyone have a shopping list already on excel they could send to me so I can look through and see if I have missed anything? Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance as I see this forum seems to help a lot of people out. Neal [/QUOTE]

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