Singing Christmas Tree

Showing off my Singing Christmas Tree from EFL Designs with star topper. Tree has 350 pixels, 300 in the tree and 50 in the star with a PVC exoskeleton for support and so the tree is free standing.

[@TeamBladen]

Your videos on the singing trees inspired me to do this project. I received four trees a couple of weeks ago and I am painting them now. I am planning to add them to the Christmas light show aboard the Navy base in Bahrain this year to bring a little more Christmas to the Middle East. What PVC part touches the back of the tree on the exoskeleton? Thanks.

I think it was called a "Reducer Bushing"

The tree should totally sing “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley.

I just wanted to say what a great job you have done with the tree. would you ever entertain an ideal of making a few for someone. I do realize it's a lot of work!

[@MHL1528]

Anyone know what part he's referring to as "nipple"? It's touching the back of the coro where the bolt goes through.

I’m just starting to learn so have a question. Does each strand of pixels have its own channel for the mouth movements or the border strand and each of the eyes?

[@listentoourlights]

Each individual bulb on the prop has 3 data channels. I have 7 strands of 50 pixels daisy chained for a total 1,050 channels. The xLights software takes care of all of this. In xLights I have a submodels of the prop. One for the outline, one for the star, then the mouth movements are mapped to a timing track.

[@steviep3736]

at time mark 9:16 you speak of uploading MP3 and lyrics to have it map it it together, how do you import/use in xlights?

[@namits8596]

Hi John. Could you share the details from BoltDepot for the Washer that goes in the front of the coro?

[@listentoourlights]

The washers/fenders I put on the front I think I found at Home Depot. On Bolt Depot they would be: Fender washers, Stainless steel 18-8, Product# 2931: 1/4" x 1"

Can you do this with govee string lights

[@topher216933]

No

[@dennismahaffey2392]

How many points of power injection did you use?

[@listentoourlights]

Just one. 350 lights off of the port, running lights at 30% brightness.

[@brenaveda]

Where did you order these?
