Post by: bwhite505 on August 29, 2011,
Saw these posted at ACL.

Are these compatible with SSC's?

Hard to tell - he dont list alot of specs on them.

Send him a msg asking for more specs etc - what chipset does it use etc.  Then even if compat chipset - no guarantree they are the correct speed for what we use.  Might see if he will send 1 to 3 node string as a cheap sample before you commit to a larger qty

It almost looks like he is placing a C9 cover on the current pixel strings.

I agree. I got a C9 cover sample from him that made the pixels look just like that.

I just read on another site - these are using the 1804 chip, and are in our standard 5 lengths, so they look like they are the pixel strings with the different covers

looks like he has added some more pictures - they do look more and more like our standard pixel node strings with the c9 over them - so ppls should be able to get the covers and add to their current strings....

The covers must add a lot of weight shipping is over $41 for a single string, Over $500 for a set.....And I know Ray works with us on shipping but they are still pricey...

Has anyone received nodes with these covers?  Would you recommend them for use on a mini tree?  I am doing basic RGB on mini trees and want to use nodes, but am not sure if I just want to use regular nodes or the covers.  I am thinking the covers will refract the light more, but do not want to dull it down too much.  I also do not want 100-300 piercing lasers per tree either?

Yes. I got the $$ covers and they work.  They are nothing more than pixels with covers
