So cut those maples down when I found LOR and made my first mega tree. ?? I'm set up good with my Arborvitaes. They are almost 12' now and I'm doing a 16 channel controller on each of them this year. It will give me 4 stripes of RGBW on them. I'm hoping for some small spiral effect. I just hope 4 strands will do a good enough chase up a small caliber tree(3').

Brucey Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I just found thee guys and for $45, figured why not give them a try? If it works, it's exactly what I'm looking for. www.reallybiglights.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Arch Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 They look pretty cool. The price shows $49.99 when I looked at it. Do you have a coupon code or something to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but for $9 each, I'm just gonna hook them up to individual channels and control them through the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinchief Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Just order 10 (5 Blue and 5 White). Will see how they work out this year. Nice to get the 10% off. Thanks for sharing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebuechner Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I don't know if there's a Menards near you but they're setting out their Christmas stuff already. One thing I noticed was giant blow mold ornaments. (I was busy looking for other things at the time so I didn't inspect them very close). Once I got home I got thinking about those if you could open them up drill holes to insert pixels. I may have to buy one or two to try it I'm sitting on two extra totes full of pixel nodes with both 3 inch and 6 inch wires I'm not sure how many but about 75 pounds worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thread makes me wonder if Mega ARCH was your second choice for names? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 FYI looks like Home Depot has them now even cheaper. http://m.homedepot.com/p/REALLY-BIG-LIGHTS-Really-Big-Lights-LED-C9-White-RBL-WHITE/207000682?MERCH=REC-_-irg_coditem-4-_-207000713-_-207000682-_-N Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones we ordered come in Thursday so if we like them, can get the next batch from Home Depot. With the 10% SEPTEMBER code and free shipping our 5 Blue (more expensive than white or mulitcolor) and 5 white came up to $94. Which means we can save ~$7 going to Home DePot ($8 each plus tax) which means 11 at Home Depot for the cost of 10 direct online...yes!! Great find Brucey!

Brucey Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I just found this video and now I have to go buy white ones!!! These look incredible when converted to RGB nodes..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Excellent video, just what I have been looking for. Hmmm, now where can I find roof clips large enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 FYI, I got mine in the other day and my initial thoughts are that the c9 bulbs they send are really dim and don't bring out the true colors. Glad I purchased a bunch of the white ones from Home Depot and plan to mod them with RGB's. Instead of using the pixel strips like in the previous video, I'm going with using bullets like this guy did: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
