David Spangler Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Has anybody used the LOR pixels for small trees? I've read somewhere that the pixels are delicate and there was a problem tying them to branches with tie wraps which makes them subject to cracking and breaking. Has anybody had any experience with this problem? What is the best way to tie them to a tree branch? I was thinking that if you tie both wires behind the pixel there would be less chance of breaking the plastic causing water leakage or failure? Any thoughts?

Ron Boyd Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Cosmic Color Ribbons, yeah they're fragile. The CC Bulbs and CC Pixels are fragile but nowhere near what the CCR s are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydave Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yes I use a 54" tomato cage and 100 CCP for a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydave Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Here is my Tree: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3846139397269&l=722234943104450698 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3846147917482&l=5384574881079798015 And here it is working in "VU Meter" mode:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4691429929004&l=5588758643666432079 There are eight (8) "legs" that are each eleven (11) pixels long. It takes a bit of time to get the configuration set up properly in the sequencer. I had to waste 12 pixels to get the spacing to work properly. In hindsight... I think I could have done it better and used 12 pixels for each leg, and only 4 pixels would have gotten wasted. But it was my first attempt. (and with all the sequencing I've done, I'm committed to the 11 pixel height standard. Also Version 1 only used one (1) tomato cage.Version 2 will use two tomato cage stacked. This will give you more support and places to zip-tie the pixels onto. Edited October 8, 2013 by Crazydave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 10 rows of 10 is working ok for me this year (in a 180 degree configuration). I will be running 9 trees. I picked up some 1/2" spaced metal grid from home depot over the weekend I am going to try to mount them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Farmer Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I put a 100 CCBulbs on a 6.5' tree and got this.It's been out in the rain (going on day 6 here) and so far, no problems. http://lightshow.franktronics.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ccbtreetest1.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
