    Default Repurposed Incandescent Christmas trees with pebble pixels!

    I made these Christmas trees with tomato cages and some green mesh but over the years the lights quit working. Now that I found these pebble lights I decided to see what 100 of them looked like. Here they are. What do yall think?

    I am doing a similar project this year. 11 repurposed tomato cage trees upgrading to pixels. Not done enough to take pictures yet though!
    Making it bright since 1989...

    I did something this year similar only it was 24 candy canes. Used bullet pixels. I had trees like that made from those wire stands. They were just rope lights. Repurposed them this year to actually grow tomatoes. lol
    Love LEDs!

    I'm also considering upgrading my candy canes with these pebbles.

    I'm setting up my Christmas tree with pebble light strings as well. I just sent off an order with jlcpcb for a 0.6"x1.60" controller using ESP-01 modules with a barrel-connector (and fuse) for power input. The controller is pretty minimal, having just a signal level converter and a 3.3V regulator and connectors.

    Looks awesome,

    But FYI, those are seed pixels.
    Pebble pixels are these: https://www.creativedisplays.com/pro...ded-6-spacing/
    Seed pixels: https://wallyslights.com/products/12...-pixels-strand


    It just adds the confusion when people call these the wrong thing!
