DumlaoLights Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hey guys! Kind of new to all the pixel stuff but we had just recently bought a Pixie 8 12v controller and we had bullet pixels that are ws2811 to connect to it for our pixel tree this year. When I went to try and connect it they don't fit with the pigtails. Is there any solutions you guys recommend or like what kind of bullet pixels would I need to get that have pigtails that would connect to the Pixie 8 controller?

When you go that route, you pretty much get in bed with that vendor. There are a couple of sites the offer multiple 'styles' . KISS. too many similar (looking) will lead to frustration. Some may even mate BUT smoke may escape. The nice thing about Pixies, is the pigtails are plugged into the board. AND LOR sells an 8pack of those plugs. You could keep the existing pigtail ready tog, and build alternates, and do a quick change. My experience is changing the wire side tends to mess up the wire clamp, so I suggest not doing a wire swap if you plan on using the old later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumlaoLights Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 So the Pixel Lights we have are from wally lights the 12v bullet pixels with xConnect pigtails. Is there any way I can get those to work without having to change the pigtails already connected to the controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would probably want the LOR out to Xconnect IN. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
