Dave H1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Maybe I'm being a little overly cautious with the jump to pixels, especially hearing others failures with water ingress and was wonder if anyone has used the 5050 modules in a "direct exposed" setup. Many of these modules are driving the colors in coro related elements. Was thinking of using these around the windows and garage door. Cost wise they are comparable to the Technicolor pixels and appear to have a stronger track record and sealed very well. Have anyone used them as part of a matrix or mega tree?? http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/LED-digital-module-WS2811IC-5050-3LEDS-DC12V-input-waterproof-20pcs-a-string-256-gray-scale/701799_578798417.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Technicolor pixels seem to have been improved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq13RMdlpu4Submerged in water for a week and frozen in ice.

I haven't been following the TC debacle very closely, but I just noticed that video was from March of last year - long before most of the reported pixel failures from this past season.

Youtube shows it was published in May of this year, so I thought it was pretty current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not like this is showing a newly redesigned product that prevents those failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
