Christmas display for my house

[rsandoz]

I am new to this and trying to put together a Christmas display for my house.

I ordered the F16V3 controller "Ready to run" with Ray Wu pigtail and 12 V.

I am trying to get an idea of what else I need.

I am looking at the Ray Wu store on ali express:

So far:

4x icycles for #2

ANy ideas for lighting?  Additional hardware I need?

Turn around the empty boat trailer and use the tail lights😁

take a look on Boscoyo Studio's website and get a couple coro or ABS items. Candy canes, snowflakes, and more.. Ray Wu sells icicles pixels that fit boscoyo's icicles.. and a mega tree.. can start small with 10-12' trees Boscoyo has a kit.  Falcon Controllers by far the easiest and most versatile.

**Note** ensure any pixels you buy have at least 4" spacing, 3" is a little cheaper, but dont fit all props available, (i learned the hard way)

Good Luck

Thank you all for the help!

Also for controlling existing AC stuff.  Renard or LOR?  Can I buy an already-made Renard?  Is LOR any good or do they have any proprietariness that I should be concerned about in their hardware?  I was looking at:

On the topic of software.  I have an Intel NUC box with a Celeron 2.16 Ghz CPU, 120G SSD, 8GB RAM and am thiking about sticking that inside my Falcon enclosure.  Will this be enough horsepower?  Would xLights on Ubuntu work better for this?  Can I develop virtually on my laptop then copy the XML and media (MP3) files over?

To play ... it should be. And yes you can move your fseq Files and networks file across.
