Review on 🌈 Rextin WS2811 Pixels Digital Addressable LED String Lights: Waterproof, RGB Full Color, 12mm, DC 12V - (DC12V 50pcs) by Ashley Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not ideal for holiday lighting lovers

These are WS2811 pixels, but there are a few issues that make them less than ideal for people making holiday lighting with xLights or Vixen and trying to use them with Coro props .1) Pixel pitch advertised as 4 inches but this clearly includes the length of the wire inside the epoxy. Most hobbyists measure the length from the outside of the pixel/epoxy. So you have to "stretch" them quite a bit to make the jumps expected of the Coro props. In an even worse scenario, you'll have to cut/solder to make the jumps. 2) The wire is advertised as 18 AWG, but this must include the insulation. The actual wire material inside is much smaller than the other pixels I have. 3) They come with JST connectors, which is not the most recommended connection method in the hobby. Buy and solder/connect pigtails.
