Looks awesome. Wondering if you ever made a video of how to make the controller. If not, do they have them already built that someone can purchase. I would love to integrate this into my lights next year because I have been thinking about it for years.
It all depends on how bright you run your lights, I run mine at 20% (set in the controller) so I only use 1 power supply per tree. At 100% you would need two !
Hey bud great video I hope you see my comment but where did you buy the round plastic top for the pixel strips to mount to? I can't find them on the internet for sale. And the can you tell me what I need to run the trees like what kind of power supply and computer equipment. I really like those trees and want to make 3 of them for next Christmas.
I want to get into making light shows but i Dont know where to start and it also doesnt help much that the main part of or roof is 17 ft off the ground the bottom of the roof.
I wish there was an equipment list, with how many of this and that, screws bag of zip ties lol really, I'm still new to this amazing trees, a list to me would be way easier, from cutting from screwing, handing lol
Hello. I have a sandisk e682 which only has 16 ports. Both of your trees take 16 ports correct? So you're using two controllers? This is an expensive hobby.
Not sure how the E682 works since I run Falcons, but on the Falcons you can run up to 1024 pixels per port (though that's very rare to use that many). Personally I run 200 pixels per port on my 16 port controller so a setup like this would only use 8 of your 16 ports.
Great video! Thanks. Looking forward to part two...
Exactly I want to do same project 16 lines × 800 pixels, 180'.
I was happy till I saw your YT channel and is nothing more. But is OK o can wait.
Best explanation yet on how to do this. I can’t wait!
Thanks, I hope to get out another video as promised ! showing the rest of the process
There should be a class to learn all this, christmas lights 101 I would join

I'm a christmas noob watching a christmas God
I get the how to, but where am I shopping, where am I purchasing every bit of equipment
this is so awesome so beautifully done. Btw if I am using a falcon controller should I have two power supplies for this type of a tree?

Wait is the list on the description, is everything ordered online, had no idea that was a thing
NEW SUBSCRIBER love the content. Best explanations ever. Keep it coming 👍👍
If all the pixels have to go one way how do they hook up at the top?
Pixes are arranged in a zig zag pattern ! Up, Down, Up, Down etc
I thought this was John Cena's doppelganger lol Thank you for the informative video.
😆 Ive heard Matt Daemon but Never got that one before 😆

Its been a few years since you built your trees, how did they hold up using a fence post? Would you build them the same again??
Absolutely I would build them again, I have used them for 3 years now and have had 0 issues
One lane, installed 50pcs, or more ?
I want to get into making light shows but i Dont know where to start and it also doesnt help much that the main part of or roof is 17 ft off the ground the bottom of the roof.
Rgbhelp.com and auschristmaslighting.com are great resources to get started.
:) I learned something new today thanks!

Dobrý den, mohu požádat o rozměry stromu? jaká je výška průměru. Jaký je rozměr pásky na základně. Děkuji.
Jinak pěkná práce
How big is the base
I know everyone says, home depot, and Lowes, what is list while I'm inside the store
Great video, what is the base diameter you used? Is that 1/2” emt for the base? Thanks!
I did end up using a1/2 EMT for the base, Ide need to measure again to see what exactly the diameter is
Part II coming soon?
LordHog ha yea sorry life gets in the way, no worries I’ll refund all the money you paid for the second part 🤪
Great job Man! I am currently working on mine for 2019. BTW What's the distance Between pixels?
2 inches pixel spacing on the strips, just updated with a parts list, check it out
👍👍
Where do you buy these...I have not seen at home Depot, Lowe's or Walmart???
Check out the parts list in the description. Besides the fence posts, wires, and general hardware used You wont find the lights etc in local stores.
Umm part 2?
what is the hardware that you use arduino or rasberripi
Your jacket looks very familiar... where is it from?
Nicholls State University
is this the kit they sell at holiday coro?
This is not the kit from holiday coro, although many of the parts are similar.
The website is down lol just saying, links are handy only when they work, just saying
Can I buy a tree for 3 to 5 hundred dollars, ready to go, or let me know how much I need to save lol, I would literally buy one
No but if you go to xlights you can get a ready to run for 7 to 8 hundred and you have to download xlights
