NBG Pixels - 12v xConnect

They fit in my matrix and coro were other brands fell out. Colors seam really good so far.

Work great! Need more!

I picked up 37 strings of 100 count. I've been doing pixels almost from their inception in the hobby. I always do a complete test when I get a new batch. I almost always, no, make that ALWAYS have defects. With this shipment of NBG I did not have a single defect/failure.

I love the look. They seem to have a translucent glow when comparing them with bullets or EVOs. The colors seem more vivid somehow and they really look great when you do a color chase as they transition from color to color with no hint of discoloration or 'wonkiness'...

My only thought that keeps me at a 4 star rating rather than 5 star is that they only come with xConnect pigtails. I like xConnects but my display was built using Ray's pigtails and I would prefer to keep everything, connections, with 1 type of plug. My remedy is to purchase additional xChangers to convert over my Ray power injection/balancing "T's" with.

I used 3,200 to populate 32 pixel strips. It was a breeze compared to the regular 12 mm bullet pixels. The NBG's snap into the pixel strips and I don't think they will come loose as they are difficult to back out. No gloves, sore thumbs and I did not have to use my pixel pliers to install.

I think new Christmas light hobbyist should try these for their first Mega Tree, It's much easier. (I've built/re-built 3 trees before this one.)

Also, I may be able to get 400 pixels per string/port as the 400 only run up to about 2.5 amps at 100% white while I run my show at 30% bright.

I think the strips are somewhat lighter in weight with these.

I haven't run my show, as yet. I hope they're more reliable than the 12 mm bullets. :)

Note: I also built two Showstopper spinners with these and they worked well. Just had to give them a twist into the coroplast to help keep them in place.

Excellent product. Thank you
