Pixels

[Lightnewbie]

I plan to upgrade to pixels next year and want to know which pixels are best for a roof line? Ribbon, square, bullets or bulbs ?

Everyone will have their own opinion and taste.

I use rectangular modules that have 3 RGB nodes per module.

That mostly depends on how you will mount them.  Personally I would avoid ribbons because ribbons are so much harder to repair when (not if) a pixel fails.  Also, in my opinion, a solid line of light on the roofline does not look Christmas to me - it looks like a nightclub or casino.  I MUCH prefer some form of bulbs.  For years, I used the old GE Color Effects bulbs which are a little smaller than a C9 bulb.  I have them spaced about 10 inches apart.  I have replaced those with bulbs that look about like the bottom ones in your graphic.  They are a little smaller than the GECE, but a little larger than a C7 bulb.

I use the ribbons under my eaves and they stay up year round. For the roof peaks I use the larger C9 bulbs with clips on the shingles.

I would avoid White wires.  Black does better in UV
