@EsotericArctos Год назад

Nice update video. I haven't seen many new updates to "holiday LEDs" so it's nice to see it done :) One thing I will note, from a safety perspective, I would not use multiple fuses on the same circuit. 1 circuit should be on one fuse. If something shorts, multiple fuses would need to blow before the power was cut and you could end up with smoke and flames before that happens. It's like wiring in your home, 1 circuit goes to one breaker, same with your LED's, 1 circuit per fuse :)

@arcadioferrer8850 Год назад

@rickyticky6915 Год назад

Maybe you can answer this question, I live in a gated community and I’ve looked at other company and they were so much more $ but the pixels were flat so you couldn’t see it from the street. How does the aesthetic look on these? How close (feet) before it’s becomes noticeable that there’s lights?

@TheJugg1er Год назад

@@rickyticky6915 I installed mine at the back of the overhang, which means they're a little more hidden when not on, but perhaps the best answer I can give you is that my Fedex delivery guy didn't even know they were lights or even really notice them, until I pointed them out when we were chatting about something else. You need to get pretty close to see anything since it's just a quarter inch of the bulb that sticks out of the track.

@barry.anderberg 24 дня назад

You can also brush the data booster with silicone conformal. You could literally run it under water with that stuff. I used to use it back when I built drones so they would be safe if they landed in wet grass, fell in a pond, etc.

@marccampbell7396 Год назад

First off just wanted to say love all your vids very informative. Been wanting to get into this holiday lighting for some time now! I have been buying sets of the rgb ws2811 pixels a few at a time with the 3 poll male and female weather tight connectors. I have most of the hardware and mounting as well now just need to get a list of the 12v power supplies and control boards I'll need and any other type of board I'll need to get started. Was hoping you could help me? Please and thank you for your time. Have a great day and happy holidays.

@mdkreh Год назад

Love the simplicity of this project! At the 12 minute mark, when do you need to connect power to the power injector board? Was your project small enough that it did not require additional power connected?

@patrickharding8851 Год назад

I feel like I almost have the confidence to do this. My only hang up is power injection. Just not sure how and when to do it. I need to go measure where I want my lights I suppose, and figure out how many lights it is, and then decide on the power injection locations, etc... Thanks for making this much more affordable, and easier to understand for the masses. I have 4 or 5 neighbors now that have gone with the big name permanent LED companies, and they have dropped between $4k and $6k for their lights, and they still dont know how use them, and they cant do anyything nearly as fun as your systems do with WLED.

@TristynRusselo Год назад

@vinferrante3676 Год назад

GREAT video and so glad the tracks and system are easy to estimate and install. One question: If the pixels are designed for this track why so much extra wire between pixels in the track. I can understand some wire in case there is a bad pixel one day but it seems like there is a lot of wire with 2" locations.

@jasonparker1454 6 месяцев назад

i dont think the pixels are designed for the tracks - its just the number of pixels not and individual cable length inbetween.

great video, thanks for the effort you've put into you're vid's over the years.. I'm and electrician (UK) and have been installing ws2812/11 leds for several years now..I've always favoured the 12V strings due to smaller PSU's... those ws2812/11 connectors on the ends of the strings are notorious for failing here in the UK...if we don't solder and use adhesive lined heat-shrink they will corrode and fail very quickly...and don't get started on the horrid scotch lock connectors (the ones with the push down connection)...the joys of what is normally a wet country ..except this year has been extremely dry.....wish we had a product like permatrack over here would save me hours of drilling holes in aluminium & stainless channels...I've been using some the high power 30W ws2811 driven lights recently ...great for wall wash lights that can obviously synced to the rest of the installation...again thanks for all you're vid's dude.

@DrZzs Год назад

I could see those JST's being bad in a wet environment. I've seen people use some kind of dielectric gel in them to stop corrosion. Haven't tried that myself. If you want to import a bunch of permatrack to the UK for your installs email me and we'll chat.

I am working on doing this on my house. I have the ability to install the control box in my garage. I am making an enclosure for my power supply and wled controller. One thing I would like to do is add led indicator lights on the enclosure to identify if there is power to the power supply, if the dig-quad is running, and if there is internet access. Do you know if anyone has ever done indicator lights like this and if so, how they did it? I figure the power supply indicator light would be easy to do, but the dig-quad and wifi indicator lights seem more difficult.

On one of your earlier videos, you didn't inject power when using 12v. I thought that was the reason we were using 12v. So we didn't have to run more wire.

@DrZzs 7 месяцев назад

We probably didn’t need power injection on this install either. We did it because the track was going to be inaccessible and while we have the boom lift we thought we aught to go ahead and power inject since it was minimal work up front and would be a ton of work if we had to do it later.

I was hesitant about those wires being exposed to weather and sunlight. Am I eventually going to run into the potential of those wires having issues?

It should be fine to have just regular wire without the pvc coating on the wire I used in this video. The pixels are made to have the wires exposed to the elements and they use the same wire that doesn't have the extra coating. So coating is "better" but no coating should be fine too. I've had exposed wire on my house since 2017 and it hasn't burned down (yet). :)

Thanks for the input. I will quit worrying.

Have you ever seen RGBW SK6812 or WS2814 LEDs for that.... we like to have Genral Warwweis for the most of the time and effects by ocasion. and the RGW "White" is always not so nice...

@DrZzs Год назад

I've seen them (RGBW) in Strips and Pucks but not in bullet or square pixels. We have some puck-style track in the works.

which protocol does the wireless controller uses? artnet? ACN? something different?

@DrZzs 5 месяцев назад

It runs WLED. There are a couple options. E1.31 and/or DDP I believe.
