Nice.. I am gutted the icicles are sold out. Are the arches a single string of 50?

Yes, 1 X 50 but have to be joined with cables ties. Mine are temporarily joined in photo. I will put some stakes in the ground and tie wrap them in place then.

Re: Christmas Lights 2020 - xLights in Indigo

Hoping anyone with experience of xLights knows, how do I control dumb strings with xLights, as in what controllers do I use? I have nodemcu with WS8212 at the moment, but would like to add in my mains strings as well to increase the lights I can control.

Cheers
Simon

So the icicles came back in stock so I got some with the white holder to ensure they face forwards and give me an instant matrix for text too and they arrived on Friday.
Aaaaand.... my wife has said no on aesthetic grounds.

Yes - start early.. I did a little last year but left it a bit late this year even though I started in early November!
Here are a few links to videos I've just taken.. Not the best of quality but you'll get the idea - xLights is very powerful :D

Nice! A far cry from my masterful display, though. Three lighted wreaths!

Well done.

I came here to drink milk and kick ass....and I've just finished my milk.
