WS2811 LED technicolor pixel

[Travis]

Those of you that are testing your Technicolor pixels, are you using a C7 or C9 covers with them???

Dave,
I did a side by side comparison, half the strand with C9 cover lenses, and the other half without the lenses.
I will admit that the C9 covers do dull the light just a little and looks more traditional, but without the covers on, the light was sharp and glaring almost blinding in my opinion.
We decided to use the C9 covers for traditional look appeal, and plus they were more pleasant to look at, not blinding the viewer.

I too am using the C9 facets. I'm in the process of putting all 1600 facets on the strings. It's taking forever.

Note to self: if ordering a big batch with facets, pay Ray extra to put them on the nodes.. (will probably cost more in shipping too though!)

Shipping would cost the same. The weight doesn't change.

Was thinking the volume could change and I know sometimes this can affect shipping cost (it certainly does for domestic shipping here in Australia, but perhaps not for DHL from China )
