I got 200 Evo pixels from your store earlier this year. I just got in a 36 inch 3 ring Chromastar from Marcos Designs. Haven’t started pushing pixels yet, but looking forward to it now. Will be using it on the side of the house this year until I build my mega tree next year.

Great video, would love to see bullet pixels vs seed pixels in a strip (seed pixels in 3D printed adapter)

So far I have pushed over 1,000 EVOs into coro. My thumbs were a little sore after each session. Half were GE flakes and half(ish) were in a Showstopper Spinner. The GE without the little notches I would line the little tab in the void between the inner ribs of the coro and push with the handle of needle nose pliers the twist (gently) with the wire. If a coro rib was in the way it was difficult to turn. On the spinner, it had the notches. Most would go in easily but some near a coro rib required a little effort. I ended up using my pixel pliers to install and turn for the majority of the pixels. I guess I have tender thumbs. I am trying to use all black props. I have some that have 5V bullets (don't judge, I have my reasons) and when I have the flakes and arches lit up at the same time I can't really see much difference. My wife the artist doesn't see any either. Anyway I really like the weight saving and lower power requirements of the EVOs. Now if only they would make a 5V version.

Y'all gotta stop wanting 5v :)

Hey David, I'm gonna email u a video from my show, on the right side behind the tune to sign is an EVO tree, as u will see, not much different from the other bullet trees.

Storage, weight, and current draw are the postives in that order for me. The bleeding can be a negative for some. Pushing them in coro is painfull though. Only long term concern is if they will corrode since the latest shipments leave some wire exposed where corrosion could work its way inside.

Thx David for posting this! I pre-ordered before knowing that there are even concerns about the look. I’m sure it will still look great for those of us that have neighbors that just enjoy the blinking as you said! Any idea when the preorders start to ship?

Unfortunately, the ETA we had of June has passed, and we have no updated ETA. We do have MANY that are paid for and on the way, so if you want to reserve them, order them from us now and you'll get an early place in line for any more EVO's that you need!

Looks ok to me. Thanks.

Thanks David for your honest opinion and the recognition that regular viewers don't/won't care. Keep up the great work.

What about the new EVO+ pixels? are you going to offer them, and do you recommend them compared to the standard?
@LearnChristmasLightingАй бұрын
We may end up offering them, but honestly the regular EVO's have been highly reliable that I don't personally see the need to spend the extra $$ on the +

Dooes EVO emit light behind it? Would this negatively effect a 360 degree mega tree? Can this be resolved by spray painting the back of a strip of lites with black spray paint?
@LearnChristmasLighting2 ай бұрын
There is some, but I would say it's equal to or less light compared to a standard bullet pixel

Would you run the evo’s at 100% which will be better for colors
@LearnChristmasLighting2 ай бұрын
I personally don't care too much (it's not massive, and I like to run my show low as my street is dark, and I want the moving head's to appear as bright as possible!)

I must say, David is the man! He raises the bar for customer service too. I agree with you on this one that the evos actually look better inside the white coro. I personally don’t care to look at a bunch of close “dots” on coro. I like the slight light bleed to fill in the gaps between nodes. Thanks for the comparison!
