HolidayCoro for both RGB and LED/ Incan

I have helped many members with others who the poly lines (bulb placement lines) on the back are problematic and set for DMX.

Hopefully LOR will offer some one day.

the 16 channel you bought controller is for Mini-Lights/LED, NOT RGB (the big one).

Next to consider: Each mouth shape is a channel (a 16 channel controller might do 2 faces independently)

Boy is HC's  mini-light singing pumpkin page confusing...  I think you get all 8 faces  for $55. Then you need to add a ton of LEDS/Mini-lights each. (remember neither type can be shortened . The design Bulb count must be maintained.)

Its not confusing.

46x46 = 39.99 each

8- Mini Pumpkin Bunch = 49.99

OP- it is very hard to find single or even double singing face sequences.

4 is the norm to make it have lead and backups.

LOL

Did you see the Bulb /string count (500+) ? Typical strings come in 10, 35, 70

DO NOT mix string bulb counts on a single channel, or the light output per bulb may differ.

BTW kinda late for 2021 😛 (but do shop for strings on after Halloween sales (my stores already have gaps).

I’ve never seen a “typical” 10/35/70 count string s 50/100/150/300

Maybe in California IDK.

OP- I put my extra bulbs in a Walmart bag with a hole at the bottom and use wire to hold the bay up on the backside of the singers.

Nobody can see them. I do not cover them any other way. Well in my 5’ singers I use a bucket. A made a door in the back. Tuck as many of the extra lights I can bet in the bucket.

I drilled many holes in The bottom Of the bucket to drain any water threat may get in.

I put the lid on The bucket

I have never had water standing in bucket.

I use Lowe’s or HD 5 gallon buckets.

I bought my LED lights for my singing/non-singing HolidayCoro faces from Holiday Light Express, and they come in lengths of 35, 50, 70 and 100 bulb counts.  And like JR, put my excess in a dark bag behind the prop.
