Review on Aclorol LED Pixel WS2811 String Lights - Waterproof IP68 Full Color RGB, 12mm Diffused, Individually Addressable, Black Wire - Perfect for Christmas Holiday Party Decorations - 500pcs/10sets by Jeremy Tyson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well with the Raspberry Pi Falcon Player

These strings work great with the Raspberry Pi Zero Falcon Player. I control the strings (3x100) from a raspberry pi zero w via a level switch to boost the pi output from 3.3v to 5v. The color order should be set to GRB as another reviewer noted. I'm running the whole thing (3x100 strings and a Raspberry Pi Zero) from a single power supply plugged into one end of the string, it looks like I won't need to add power through the Ts provided, hopefully it still holds up if I add the extra length of wire so install it outside. I'm giving one star for the proprietary connectors required to connect to the strings and for the fact that the Power-T's use a red wire for the return and a black wire for the positive, which is counterintuitive.
