I put some lights out for Halloween and ran a few sequences. Still have a lot to get done for Christmas. I got a new crimper!

🎄Mini Tree Problem & Matrix Repair (2020)🎄
I had a little problem with the mini trees. I put them together backwards. I’ll show you the difference. I also had a pixel go out on my matrix so I show the repair. Thankfully, the weather cooperated.
🎄VCS & EFL Snowflakes (2020)🎄
Virtual Christmas Summit is this weekend so sign up now if you aren’t already. Also, I go over a little more on xLights custom models.

I didn’t like the way the star was modelled so I decided to convert it to a custom model and wired it the way I wanted.

🎄5V/12V SHOOTOUT and Power Injection Follow-up (2019)🎄
Following up from the last episode, I show more power injection and talk about the numbers a little. I also compare 5V pixels to 12V pixels at the wall. The difference is surprising!
🎄5V RGB Pixel Power Injection & Prop Build (2019) 🎄
I built a large 4’x16′ pixel matrix using Chroma Mesh from Boscoyo and 1,024 5V pixels. I show how to model this in xLights to get the wiring plan and I built is as a single string of lights using one controller connection. This requires a lot of power injection. but it’s pretty easy to do on a matrix.
