not Xconnect for outdoor lighting

Great pixels but no Xconnect pigtail. They are smaller than the ones I bought from another Amazon seller and the ones I had.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Nothing here

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Found some issues with this set.

One string out of 100 out of 500 was bad and one of the power tees was bad. For your information. The polarity on all injector tees is reversed. Black is positive. Red is negative.

Pros
  • Highest rating from testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Bad

Pixels keep getting darker

They were great for about 2 weeks, after that 2 pixels went out in my house. About every other week. I would like to give more stars but until I have a stable lighting system I cannot recommend these lights.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Reliability

Works fine so far. for garlands

Not like others in the same price range (thin wire) and with what I would call non-standard connectors. Other than that, they've been working flawlessly so far. If you're doing a one-off project where compatibility with other strings isn't an issue, this will work.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • For old

Worked great

Worked right away. Colors are fully saturated. They appear to be well made and durable. The specs say they draw 60 watts per string. So make sure you have enough power and delivery power when stringing strings in series. Very happy with them and considering buying more.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Impressed so far! good for lights and ceiling fans

I love that the connectors are built into the strings and that they come with a pigtail and power nozzles. Very good. I don't like that I can't get extra pigtails/nozzles as they aren't a standard size/type. Please make extra nozzles, pigtails, extensions and clearly state what size/type it is.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Din or Dout on modules fails

Good: Connectors are waterproof Power injectors work well Bad: It's a kind of third layer fake; The power supply wire colors are REVERSE, where red is ground and black is positive. Dout or Din will eventually fail, at least on some WS2811s; I had two errors in two strings of lights [all lights after errors were turned off because the signal was not repeated].

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • disappears

Be careful with power injector connections!

These strands appear to be well done. Basically, they work as expected. The light is noticeably dimmer than other 12V WS2811 wires I have when looking at them side by side. I would say they are about 20% brighter. Be careful when using the power injector. Power cords have the opposite convention. Red is minus, black is plus. They show it on a chart in product images but I didn't see it until I discovered it myself.

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Bright but bulky - outdoor lighting

Nice, VERY bright LEDs, I opted for a 5v stand alone power supply and connected them to my Pi:Pico via SN74AHCT125N and 470 ohms of data. I'm used to NeoPixels from Adafruit and they have reversed JST connectors compared to other threads I've used. They also require "pixel_order=neopixel.RGB" in the NeoPixel constructor in Circuit Python; This is not a disadvantage, just something to be aware of. What I didn't like is that the pixels are bulky, there's an RGB LED, a PCB with a WS2811 surface…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
