One of the biggest challenges for people just beginning with smart pixel Christmas lights is power. Unlike traditional lights, which just plug into the wall and turn on, pixels need both data from the controller, and power via power supplies.
Windows! All our houses have windows and sometimes we leave them out of our Christmas displays, but they can add great diversity and dimension to your display. Building your own window frames using Gilbert Engineering HD pixel trim kits is a fantastic way to create a stunning, customized look.
Let’s bust out the tools and DIY some arches! Arches look great in your yard, especially filled with pixels, and they’re an awesome way to block areas off and keep people off your yard.
So you want to build your first Christmas light display – where in the world do you start? How does the magic happen?
