First RJ has to approve all coops

Normally a group buy of lights don't work out well. We do coop for parts that give you discount for large orders like electronic parts.

It would be cheaper and easier to get in on one of the pre-sales that are offered by the light vendors.

The cheapest I have seen those retros was $1.00 a piece and that was in a pre-sale.  Still at that price it may be cheaper to use RGB pixel nodes with a C9 cover. Pixels are now .40 + .12 cover = .52

Sabie I thought you had some PixelNet gear. If so you could control 128 pixels with single controller and only use one port on the hub.

dpitts is correct.  If I had it to do all over again I would have gone the pixel route.

i've been getting retro C9's...  but their to convert my brothers incans. (he doesn't do animated)

if you're placing an order with Ray, he does carry retros..  just talk to him and ask what you need... 
on the site he sells them in 100 and 3000 quantities, but the price is under $1.
if you add it to an existing order, it lowers the shipping.
