I’ll gladly take the blame for you @TOG99. I’m happy to continue giving any useful info I can. I think you’ll be surprised at how quickly 500 pixels will go. I just now realized that I posted my outdoor lights last year as well:

> Should’ve shared earlier… Made 3 of these candy cane lights using extra PVC pipe I had laying around and some ws2812b LED strips. Covered them in some large shrink wrap tubing. A vidoe of the lights in action… [[WLED Lights] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEj3Sh8cYJk)

Those icicles were old AC (non-led) lights handed down from my in-laws. I believe I had around 400 pixels used last year. This year I’m close to 2,500.

I know what you mean about trying to reuse props for various occasions. I was tempted to repurpose my Halloween spider web as some sort of megatree for Christmas:

> [@Late start on Halloween](https://wled.discourse.group/t/late-start-on-halloween/3758):

> A few days ago a neighbor made a comment saying he was surprised I didn’t have anything out for Halloween. So, I got to work and this is what I have so far… Still a work in progress (especially since I haven’t yet built the giant spider for it yet), but it’s coming along.

In the end though, I wanted more strands and also wanted to make sure that the pixels were more directly pointed at the main viewing area (instead of the rope style I used for the spider web). So I didn’t end up reusing it this time.
