New Mountable C9's From Ray
« on: May 20, 2013, »
Ray's got a new format for the C9's that feature a flat back that would work great to fasten to a strip of something flat (I'm thinking either vinyl or wood). The link below is for the WS2811, but he'll be making them in 12V TM1804 too.

Interesting.
It even looks like it was specifically designed with little notches to use to mount it with. They look perfect for zip ties.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Does anyone know if this black 13.5mm 3core pigtail that is attached will be compatible with the 3core pigtail from the current ssc v4 coop?

Looks like they are just regular pixels that you have to get separate C9 covers for. It says they are new covers that screw on. Also looks like he is making them in clear and milky, and faceted and smooth now. Also C7 is listed under similar products.

Can't see any threads on the pixels. If the new covers are like the old ones, they just press on.

here are some info on them
the design was made by one of the ausy christmas member ,,, his name is Maggi ,,, he design them because of the failure /corrosion of other pixel on the market .... they are bigger // wider than average so water will not go in ,,,,,then he authorize ray to sell and market them  .... as a test he put them in water for 24 hours all light on then he put them in the freezer ... they became block of ice ,,, and still on ....  there is also some other element to waterproof them that i don't understand but ... they are suppose to kick behind .... more to fallow after they spend 1 winter here where we have snow .. rain ..freezing rain and hail ... .... cheer
as for the c9 cover they will be screw type on ... and they also come with end tail at both end ready to go ...cheer

when you guys order these nodes, do you basically specify you want 40 and they come on the wire already, or do you connect the wires yourself to make them x" spacing?

This one is not ip68 rated so it is not quite as waterproof. Also anytime you want to order something not in the WIKI I would order a few to test with whatever controller you are using to guarentee compatability. And to answer the spacing question, if you email Ray and request special spacing he will give you a quote. Normal spacing is about 3.5 to 4 inches.

Looks well designed. One question though, Ray lists the power consumption at .3W per node which is the same as the nodes in the WIKI but in the video Maggi says .5W per node which would mean only about 76 nodes could be connected to a SSC if compatible correct? Just looking for clarification as someday I will convert my house to RGB from my current 3 color strands of leds.
