George Cotton Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Bret, where did you find the DMX decoder?I have already considered those LEDs for a star project myself, but yours gave me even more ideas. Good thing Christmas is 10 months away still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan C Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Great job. Never thought of using individual led strips like that. I was considering buying one of the 16' strips and then cutting it.I might have to start this project sooner than I though.Oh, and great use of my Dan-Burst!!!

beeiilll Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice job Bret. That should make an outstanding addition to your display.I have been mulling over a new star myself and I like the 30CM strips that you used for this. I guess I will have to buy a set and make up a new star like this for me as well. The 30CM pieces make for a very nice size star don't they? With the brightness of the LEDs it will be a very shiny topper for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
