I have finally received my revised replacement Technicolor Pixels. Since it is too late for my display I decided to at least test them out so I do not run into the same problem as the last set of strings. Apparently Ray had received a defective batch of ws2811 which was one of the main causes of all the failures. At first glance of the new strings I noticed there is an addition of some sort of PCB just before the first pixel with water proof heat shrink protecting it. I have not had a chance to chat with Ray regarding its purpose.
Ray also stated that I did not have to run them at 10.2 volts as the issues that the previous strings had have been resolved.
I have been giving the new strings a workout using Xlights for the last 4 days to see how well they will hold up. At this stage I must conclude that the new revised strings seem to have the problems resolved. I have no bad pixels and I am still testing as I am writings this.
If you have been hesitant to purchase the Technicolor Pixels because of past issues I think Ray has put a lot of resources into the Technicolor Pixels to make sure they are all resolved. Out of all the different pixels out I personally think they are the best constructed. I especially love the capability of the screw on lenses so they indeed look like Christmas lights.
I have been testing using a ECG-P12S set at 3200Kbps with two 400w power supplies with the voltage set at 11.5volts with New Technicolor Pixels with C7 lenses
