Or get some of the fairy light style and have them point out and down!

If the communications with the bulb is over the two-wire bussed power cable, each bulb would likely need to know it's position on the cable to be...

I'm flashing back and imagining a new version of the GE strings. Many unanswered questions.

I wonder if they are using the newer Ethernet-over-AC specification. It would mean that bulbs would need to be "Introduced" to the network.

In other versions of the "data over power" that we have looked at, the sockets were just plain screw ins. In fact, using SPT-2 and vampire sockets...

My permanent pixels face the street.

I wonder if all of the 'magic' is in the bulbs, or if there is some logic in the sockets to handle (at the very least) addressing.

I edited the thread name...although the titles in the responses are unchanged.

(Apologies I realise I misspelled festoon in the thread title!) So we think these are genuinely 12V screw in LED units, that somehow receive their...

Thanks guys!

I always point out, but that's an interesting thought, to wash something else with pixels.

My inverted arches have the pixels facing down. My Eves have the pixels facing forward. To get them to balance, the arches run at 100% and the eves...

Pixels are very directional. Pointing down they will wash whatever you have below them. A bit is seen from the "side" of the pixel (viewers forward...

Happy birthday Chris!

Happy Birthday!

I know I'm not that far away (Atlanta to Savannah) but I ordered Monday night before going to bed and my goodies arrived on Wed. Wasn't a big...

I, for one, am hoping that the industry is going to this type of situation. Screw in bulbs that receive their control down the same wire as the...

This looks like a similar product: https://youtu.be/p23YUvWitdk The main takeaway is the S14 'bulbs' have 2 poles so I guess the control cable is 2...

Hey , hold the phone I think you may be correct . I was fooled by the S14 at the link and figured I was seeing a pcb similar to some fixtures I...

Ah right- yes I agree it does look like a 2 pole connector, maybe I spotted the 3 pole one on other products I was looking at. So I would think...

I doubt the s14 bulbs are WS28xx protocol . They appear more like a phillips color bulb with a r,g,b,w circuit board inside . you can see the...

What I see is two multi-wire cables one going into the socket and the other out of the socket. It would be good to see a picture of the bottom of the...

From just the pictures available, I only see 2 wires. Do you have a better image of the connector?

This is what I was looking for. Thanks for looking through the files to help me figure it out.
