[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 125689, member: 32169"] I look more at the distance between the pixels and the power source. The greater the distance the more voltage drop one sees generally which then makes the regulated pixels more advantageous. As already mentioned, regulated pixels are more immune to voltage drop. Also as mentioned, 5 Volt pixels are the most economical and power efficient. Next are the 12 Volt resistor followed by 12 Volt regulated pixels. The different IP ratings are mostly seen with strip, not string. I'm sure there's some bullet pixels out there that are not IP68 but I've yet to see them. Wire color and connector are personal preference. xConnect seems to be the most popular or seems to be becoming the most popular. Pixel spacing is pretty much standard at 4 inch although it seems different manufacturers measure that from slightly different points. Most coro props work fairly well with 4 inch pixel spacing. Some with a smaller spacing and some where a jump is necessary and one needs to implement a lengthening splice. I might mention pixel types, WS2811 or GS8208. The GS8208 pixels are more efficient than the WS2811s but do not see much use from individuals. Also more expensive than 12 Volt regulated pixels and somewhat a bit more difficult to obtain. [/QUOTE]

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