Sctiger Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I ordered 2 CCC II's (50 Pixels per strand) from the spring sale to go around 4 windows on the front of my house. I currently have PVC frames (the plans from this forum. Thanks for that!) around each window with LEDs tie strapped to them. What have y'all used to mount the bullet style pixels? And yes....I'm aware of the short time frame to get it done. I like working under pressure OK? So sue me. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 For bullet type pixels, you can drill a hole through the PVC so that the pixel goes all the way through the PVC. Leave it so that the back end of the pixel is about flush with the back side of the PVC - leaving only the wires behind the frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one is just a Index dowel holder that slides along the bench top as you make more holes, so all holes end up inline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
