I am now venturing into the unknown.....
I am slowly trying to put together all the pieces to contruct the tree for next Christmas.
My intention was to first purchase the 20" mega tree kit which I did yesterday, kit from christmaslightshow.com.
Then decide which lights to purchase and then decided on the controllers before trying to do the setup.
Are these steps in the correct order?
I also registed to Sean's Nutcracker site. I look simple enough for me to learn from.
Now I am trying to decide which strip lights to purchase. My understanding is that strip bulbs will not turn around and stay straight allowing for better projection. I want I high resolution tree that in future will allow me to show graphics as well. Ray suggested 5m TM1809 dream color strips (30leds/m) in silicon tube.
Here is the silly question I have. The tree is 20' high, but the 5m strips are 16' 4" lengths. I assume I need some slack. What would my options be. Make a smaller tree?
Then how many strips should I look at buying?
I know alot depends on spacing but I am more concerned on the quality of the look then the cost since this will be the only feature on the property.
Thank you in advance but I want to make sure I start on the right foot.
