HOW AWESOME TO HAVE FOUND YOUR VIDEO!!! I have decorated since I was a child. I remember my Dad putting one little 100 light strand up and we loved it. Then he built me a wire star from his work that I still use. From there it has progressed every year and it's what makes Christmas to me. I decorate because it gives me such joy and I love to share it with others to give that nostalgia that I felt as a kid decorating. I just upgraded to LED lights around my home to get rid of those costly lights that run up your power bill and had to be replaced and repaired every year. Now I want to advance my display and this tree would fit perfect in my current setup. I'm needing something to add that pizazz and help elevate my decor... THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO and this opportunity!!

@@CounterHolidayLights I will be building this pixel tree for next Christmas. My plan is to have a Light O Ramma 16 channel controller for the tree and a stand alone controller for the tree topper that would connect into the 16 channel controller. This will be my only RGB piece and I don't plan on doing any expanding. Was looking to use a Light O Ramma director to play the show. Do you know where I can get an already sequenced couple of songs for this pixel tree and tree topper? Just want to be able to use the director and loop the songs.

I have built 4 stars for the side of the house using Boscoyo stars and am now about to build 4 arches to mount on the roof of my garage with an RGB flood under each arch. I have designed a 16 strand Mega Tree in X-Lights and that's the next build so having this kit would help me massively in completing this in my build.

Good video and I've been following along for awhile. I've been starting with leds to out line my house. A tree would make a nice starter foundation to a display.

Thanks for this video. I am making a mega tree this year and the info you went over is fantastic. I would love to see a video on how you made your base and any tips or tricks you learned making it.

The ring on this tree was bought from Mattos design. then we just attached it to the wood bar.

Nice video.. I'm planning my first display this year, and plan on building a mega tree just like this as the center-piece of my display. A free one would save me a lot of time & money! :)
