Christmas lights are more festive with WLED & LED Pixels

Programmable Christmas lights with WLED and LED pixels have made Christmas lighting more festive than ever. The colors and patters I can create are so much fun, and I just have a pretty basic setup. Our Christmas tree has 10 different effects that change every 10 minutes and the house has 14 different effects that […]

Hang LED Pixels with gutter clips.

When you’re starting out with LED pixels (programmable Christmas lights) not everyone is ready to go all in and spend big bucks on pixel mounting strips or other more permanent installs.

Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Decorations
