I have now put together a FB page to gauge the viability. it is called "Christmas and Halloween swap meet (maybe)" UPDATE: I have declined some people because I am trying to get a real number as to possible attendance. If you are not into decorating for those holidays or not in reasonable proximity (300 miles except for some with a travel track record), I need to decline you. Otherwise it could throw the whole thing off.. This is not an event for those that are too far away to assume reasonable attendance.. sorry.. If you don't show some decorating interest on your site or FB page, I will assume you are not really that interested and I will decline you. I will open it up to everyone once I know if this is really happening. Right now bear with me until I get it nailed down.

I am thinking about holding a Christmas light swap meet of sorts in the summer time here in Elk Grove, CA. Anybody interested? If there is enough interest, I will do it. I am hoping this is the right place to post..

Yes.. pretty much... the ones I used actually have a threaded stem out the back. what square pixel did you use? I have not seen any that mount the way.. Unless you mean you used screws and mounted them on the plate.. That would be mechanically sound as opposed to how many others did it.. So I stand corrected.. it is similar if that is the way you did it.. Got pics?

Actually not similar.... it is a "modification" for sure but using the square pixels.. and nothing wrong with doing it that way at all, but a completely different physical mounting scheme. The entire reason I did it the way I did was to avoid having to zip tie loose pixels to the existing post (or pvc pipe) which is how many have done it. Some have even stuffed the rectangle ones in the bottom but there is no real good physical mounting that way that I have seen. I haven't seen the video you said you would post so I am not sure how you did yours but I would be interested to take a look. My way isn't the "only" way, just a "different" way... and for me personally a better way because it is clean and mechanically sound. Show us what you did.. Don't be shy!

Well then, it's not the "same thing" is it?

I forgot to post this here, sorry. Hopefully this will make it easier for more people to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-QYJc3TrEs Modifications to white Really Big Lights to add RGB single pixel WS2811 compatible. This is a really simple way to perform the modification as opposed to zip tying bullet pixels. It also creates no shadows and gives a nice homogeneous light thru out. The source for pixel is http://www.ipixelleds.com/index.php?i... The entire mod costs less than $2.00 for parts not including cable extensions. Fast and easy way to modify your white RBL for RGB. I quickly put this video together to show how easy this mod can be. Advantages of doing it this way (at least for me), 1. Low cost. Only two parts plus connecting cables. (Cost about $2.00 for mod materials) 2 Single electrical pixel but with 6 LEDs 3. Fast and easy to do. 4. No zip ties, no soldering, no glue. The installation is very physically stable and clean. 5. Already connectorized for in and out. Just add dielectric grease to the connector if you need it. Hope you find this helpful. Craig
