Wow!!!  That sounds suprisingly expensive but perhaps I didn't make my idea clear.  What I was suggesting is if you could find a manufacturer in China to just make diffuser caps for the nodes. 

How about ping pong balls?  About 10 cents each from Amazon in quantities of 144.  I've used them on other LED projects.

...and that's basically what Mr. Christmas units are.

Thanks for adding to my confusion for next years mega-tree upgrade.

Can you provide the gauge of wire that are powering the pixels

How taught are the strings on your mega-tree ?? 

Many (myself included) tighten down their current strings like a guitar to keep the sag to a minimum.

Keep these great ideas of yours becoming reality for the rest of us.

WOW, this is going to be big, I guess I need a smart string tree next year. I just realized that you could actually create a design on the tree using individual nodes. There goes my kids college fund.

The Strings are powered via the same Cat5 cable that the data uses. So you just have a cat5 Cable to the SSC and the Strign of lights comes out of the SSC.

I can post some pictures of how are tree is setup. In a few days.

RJ,

what kind of wire are the RGB's attached to, I was wondering if I can add a section of wire to make the gap between then longer where I have gaps/transitions along the roof of my house.

Thanks Scott

PS: Do you have and news on when the coop is expected to start?

It is ribbon cord. you could but you have to watch the limit of distance between nodes. I Have not tested but a few meters should not be an issue. Any farther than this you will start having issues.

What is the spacing you used between the nodes on the tree?  Trying to get a rough idea of how many I will need to be saving up for.

The strings are 3.5 inches apart just laying lose.
