I assume this is from China? Getting reasonable shipping and not being hit with extra surprise fees would be a bonus.

Ok, finally have pricing.  8% below ray wu, with 1 year warranty.  I am updating the price list then will post it.

Just an FYI, Ray's prices went down on the bullet nodes from the wiki. $0.30 per node now on 100 ct and $0.31 per node on the 128 ct.

I also noticed for the DLA nodes on your spreadsheet you have listed as silicone injected which were the type we had problems with the year they came out. They should be epoxy resin filled in a jacket nodes. Also the pcbs should have conformal coating.

Do any of the vendors have uv protection in the wires or covers?

Commercial units might.  If they did, I would look into keeping the framing lights up all year and just set the colors for the current holiday.   ;D fn

Yes, the Minleon lights I have on the "mega tree" are UV protected, the aren't inexpensive however, but out of 850 pixels there are no failures, vs the standard pixa bulbs, ray wu nodes.

i don't recall seeing the product list...  will they sell everything available in Ray's store?
I get a lot of pigtails...  so cheaper options would be nice.
