Finally got tired of putting lights on my roofline and risking life and limb every year doing it poorly. I've long wanted to do something with the LED dots/strips/pixels and I decided that's just what I'm going to do (and do it right and well). It certainly won't happen for this year but I've fallen down the rabbit-hole and I feel hooked already and I don't have a single pixel yet! I'm reasonably knowledge about electronics so I'm certainly not afraid to get in the weeds. This forum looks quite spectacular and I thank you for welcoming this Yank into your club.

Hello and welcome!

There are a bunch of us yanks around here so that is not an issue. If you have not already, give the 101 manual a good read.

AusChristmasLighting 101

This article is just a summary of the information available in the downloadable PDF version of the AusChristmasLighting 101 manual, a guide for getting started (or stepping up a level) in Christmas lighting.

The chat room is also a great source of info as someone is usually around to answer a question or two. It might not be immediate but it can get lively.
