Title: Mini Tree Question
Post by: mmais on January 24, 2018, 12:49:16 PM

I am converting my tomato cage mini trees over to Pixels from dumb RGB. The trees are 30" tall & about 10"-12" across the bottom. I am going to wrap them with 100 Pixel nodes. But looking at what 100 led nodes look like to me it is going to be very thin.
What I am looking for are suggestions or what you have used for mini trees & number of nodes.
 Thanks Mike

I like my pixel mini trees.  They were 3' trees bought in an after Christmas sale.  I have a bunch of 85 pixel strings that were intended for a matrix I never built so I used one per tree.  I just wrap it around and then model as a spiral in xLights.

I sold my LED mini trees and bought Boscoyo Mini trees.  Much simpler solution.  I use the medium 360 but only populate a 180 and only use 10 in the star instead of 20.  Total of 60 nodes per tree.  They look great.  I also have 4 of the large mini trees in a 180 and they use 85 nodes in the tree.  Then I use 15 nodes in each star, so 100 nodes per tree.
