Lightnewbie Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Everyone will have their own opinion and taste. I use rectangular modules that have 3 RGB nodes per module. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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.

Mr. P Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I would avoid White wires. Black does better in UV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
