Perfect Pixels โ€“ Seasonal Dรฉcor

Update 12/10/21: I'm getting more of these again. The wood and the two wreaths wrapped in it had no quality control issues and they continued to withstand my bends and pulls, bumps and twists without breaking. And aside from making sure not to tangle a knot in the wire (no magic lightbulb can resist that), I don't babysit them. Tree, only 250 pixels, and despite my bipolar induced tricky bending, twisting, wrapping, unrolling, unrolling and de-bending to distribute them almost to my liking, they held and weren't hurt. If there were cheap solder joints, flimsy wires, or other quality control issues, they would be obvious, but I haven't found anything. The wires in it seem to have about the same or less resistance than the 30/m strips, turning them on every four or so sets makes them happy (5 in my case but I keep the current low), I have BTF-Lighting -Quality has proven itself once again! BTF-Lighting has been my trusted source for strips and WS2812 chains since I first used them in my projects - and I've done many projects. I have sometimes ordered from other companies and always regret it, the quality of BTF is simply unbeatable. I have never received a BTF strip/thread that was in anything but pristine condition and stayed that way even after the abuse I had subjected it to many times. When I saw these WS2812 Pixels from BTF in fabulous style, I first thought "YES, finally" and then ordered them with the same confidence I have had with all my BTF purchases. I expected them to be fragile, garlands are inherently fragile and they are no exception. As usual with BTF, they arrived in perfect condition. I assume they are made with the same care as other BTF products and stand up to my abuse better than the competition. I don't expect them to take my insults and defy the physics or nature of metal fatigue. I assume if I bend wires too often I'll need my soldering iron and I shouldn't complain about that since BTF is responsible for it. In that sense, these are WS2812 five-star lights. If I use them more often and find that they are not BTF quality, I will change my rating, but I will be fair and not complain about problems arising from any abuse I put them through. . And FYI - I'm not a professional reviewer, never trust these people! I'm not a "VINE" or "TOP" reviewer, never trust these people! And I didn't get any free product, I'm just a BTF customer, I really use this stuff.

Pros
