Looking For Bulk Nodes?

[DisneyMatt10]

Hey all!!! First off, I sure hope this is the right forum to post this in... If not, my apologizes. 

So, as we are planning and prepping for our 2018 show it got me wondering where is the best place to buy LARGE quantities of bullet nodes?? You know... Like 10,000-15,000 bullet nodes.  Previously we have been buying these: http://www.holidaycoro.com/12mm-Pixel-Node-With-Waterproof-Connections-p/711-wp.htm but that's about to get REALLY expensive. I mean, if that's our only option... We will do what we have to do, but are there any other sites/places to buy these that might be a little bit better on price??

I have some.

Those with plugs are really sweet if you also user their cables/pigtail system. Just Plug together. No soldering or crimping.

Small issue if you want a 'short string' , the only way to use the remnant IS a splice or pigtail as they dont offer a 'repair-connector' (plug with screw term)

Use Rexinled on ebay, cheapest around and are here in US, TX. They do not have the arrows but they are really easy to figure out. Female end gets cut off for splicing your cable. $109.50 for 500 free shipping

I used Ray first but quickly found these guys to be reliable and fast and more friendly on wallet. 3 day to my door and I purchased a total of 10K but in increments.

ENsure when ordering you use the drop down for voltage choice

I just noticed the price I paid back a year ago is the price for 5v now but its still like 129 for 12v

The more you order the cheaper the freight.

If you order from Ray Wu, request a quote - don’t go by the automated shipping cost.

Ray is great for some stuff but still cant beat the turn over time, price and did I say "free shipping". Have you ever tried to call Ray? Have you ever received an order from him in 3-4 days? I never have. I order small stuff from him now and items not needed right away. Not knocking him but there are other fish in the sea these days.

I got the same ones dibblejr has, so far no issues with them. I will have to go to Ray wu for my pigtails, the guys in Texas do not sell the longer 5,10, and 20 extensions that I need for smart and dumb nodes.
