The Water Cooler / Re: Setup for next year.

« on: December 23, 2016, 10:54:03 AM »

Thanks everyone. Awesome ideas. Getting excited to start trying everything out! So I think channel wise it was suggested to tie the garage window and all parts of the roof together. The garage door by itself. I assume the same with the two poles. The first floor windows and door tied together. The upper windows together. The railings and down stairs windows together. I love the flag/snowflake idea that sounds awesome. Last the TREE! With the distance traveling from the garage to the far points of the roof do you think I would need to worry about needing an amplifier? What size PSU would yall recommend?

The Water Cooler / Setup for next year.

Hello all. Trying to figure out the best way to separate my channels out and ask what else I might need to get attaching a photo of my house with measurements. Any recommendations would be great. This year I am just framing my house with 12V bulbs only other things I think I would ever do are a matrix and a mega tree. My idea is to mount the Falcon 4V2 Pixel Controller, PSU and raspberry pi model 3 mounted in the garage I think 250ft of lights should cover it. I am assuming I will have to get some waterproof extension to run the lights everywhere? How would some of you seasoned vets lay this out? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Thanks. I am going to go with some PixaBulbs or Brilliant Bulbs to outline the house. I think with 12" spacing. Also the falcon 4 channel when it comes back in stock. I am going to post a picture of my house with the measurements in the help fourm and get some help with what else I might need. Thanks!

Lights / Getting started in 2017

Hello everyone. I am looking getting some lights. What are people's thoughts on the GE color changing lights sold at the big box stores? I know they usually go on sale after Christmas so I was going to pick some up early and use my credit cards price protection to get the sale price after Christmas. Just moved into a house and never really done lights before. Wife wants an outline of the house and a mega tree if that helps. Thanks!
