Vince4xmas Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Nothing for me this year. Pretty full display. Plus, moving display to another location. If all goes as expected, then will order more next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynee Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Question. Have taken a break from LOR stuff since the 2019 season. If I'm able to successfully buy 2 singing trees in the sale, do I just need to get the Pixie4 to run them both? This will be my first pixel product purchase and I want to make sure I'm getting the right things. And I trust that the Pixie4 comes enclosed in a protective case of some kind versus just being just the motherboard that is pictured on the website? Pixie4 Smart Pixel controller (lightorama.com) Although looking at the sale prices, would it make sense to just get a Pixel 16 so I've already got room for more pixels when the time comes???....

Jimehc Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) The LOR Singing Trees come with their own Controller... Quote This is NOT A KIT...

TexasLights Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 while it is nice, i miss the point of having the singing trees being pixels. You can change eye and lip colors, but trees are usually green. What other advantage is there over using AC versions that justify about 10 times the cost?

The big advantage of using AC light strings in my opinion is a better look because the lights are far closer together. For example, the LOR pixel based trees are 200 pixels. My LED string trees are around 850. I had seen both before I bought mine and decided that I liked the look of AC string ones better. Kind of along the line of "just because you can do something does not necessarily make it better". Yes, with pixel based trees, you can change the other colors. For example you could have a tree have blue eyes on one song and green eyes on another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince4xmas Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I have asked this question several times. I see NO need to "waste" pixels on a singing face. Use them elsewhere on other pixel props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimehc Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Well as you may already know - LOR has stated their "CC payment processing thru Paypal" was shut down by Paypal for 30 minutes... Those folks who used their Paypal Accounts had no issues.. Edited April 24, 2021 by Jimehc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children, children love to identify characters by color and design. If yoi have seen any of my videos you would see how the different colors of trees, bulbs for both Halloween and Christmas make things pop. I can always here children say “look at the pink tree, look at the blue tree” etc. I have always had 10-16 singers per holiday. I have the same now just mostly RGB. Not stuck with one color. For those skeptical the RGB and the LED singers look great during a show. The difference is recording. You have to turn down intensity to get them good for reciting. Mine are all at 30% see the last video. Edited April 24, 2021 by dibblejr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
