I wish to thank you so much for these videos and the videos of the finished projects. I use to go by your house during this time just to watch your house to see what else you came up with. You never disappointed me. It always made me feel that i was a little kid again! It is sad that i can't be there to see your house all light up in lights. So i watch these to bring a smile to my face. Again thank you for all your hard work! It means a lot! ❤
I have Hampton Bay low voltage lights that use very cheap lights and won't display all the colors anymore. I've been looking to upgrade the fixtures to lights I can program with WLED for my own affects. This is exactly what I want to do but I don't have a 3D printer and I'm looking for lights I can drop in and add a data wire to. Any suggestions?
I have been looking all over trying to find someone that has done this with landscape lights and not simply outdoor permanent holiday lights. Id love to talk with you about your project--I want to replace the lamps in my Hampton Bay fixtures with something i can program with WLED. This is wonderful stuff and I'm excited about working through the logistics!
@@HarbeckLights Another question... is there a trick to getting these things apart? I tried a heat gun and spraying IPA to loosen up the silicon but I am barely getting a nudge out of them...
@@JoeSchmoe24 some are definitely tougher than others. We screwed on the stake onto the bottom also to help pry open the edge a bit to get the alcohol in and then really just used the heat gun to get it good and hot. A screw driver as well judiciously to help pry it open a bit.
I'm running these all from a single DigQuad board so no need for esp32 chips on each light. See my DIY Solar Power Box video link in description for more info.

Thank you! Yes it's so nice to have the full control of the look through WLED. Feel free to dm me on our Instagram page @harbecklights
Very nice! Can you share the stl for the bullet pixel piece?

How far apart did you set the lights? And did you have any data issues or voltage drops?
They are about 4 ft apart and no issues with data (I ran 16awg wire). There is some voltage drop but it's not noticeable even at all white.

@@HarbeckLights thank you. I’m going to give it another try when I can get a second set of hands to help.
I love it ❤
No esp32 chip needed?
I'm running these all from a single DigQuad board so no need for esp32 chips on each light. See my DIY Solar Power Box video link in description for more info.
what type of cables are you using?
I'm using a 16awg direct burial cable (CL3) like the cables used for low voltage wiring.
