The Simplest Permanent Lighting System
BEST PERMANENT HOLIDAY LED SOLUTION
+ Who can install PixelLights?
CLEARLY ANYONE
CAN DO IT!
PixelLights are the easiest permanent LED lighting system on the market for anyone to put together. Connecting the LED light cables together has never been faster, safer, or easier. They can only be connected in one way: by screwing each end together, creating a high-quality waterproof seal. This helps reduce mistakes and connectivity headaches that come with other systems, saving you a significant amount of time and money.
It's Really That Simple!
TIME & MONEY SAVING ADVANTAGES:
- NO ELECTERIAL EXPERIENCE NEEDED
- NO SPLICING OR CRIMPING
- NO HEAT SHRINK
- NO EXTRA ELECTRIAL OUTLETS NEEDED
- NO POWER BOOSTERS
- NO PROBLEM
Measure Plan & Design
Great You would like to see what it takes to install permanent holiday lighting. Measure and Planning is just like me coming over to give you an estimate, which takes me about an hour after explaining how this all works.
Your measurements and putting that information on the worksheet will help you create a shopping list to figure your costs.
Try to be as exact and thorough as possible when taking measurements of the whole roofline where you want to install permanent lights. I always round my numbers up.
+ MEASURE
Project Measurements
It will always be best to physically walk around the property and take accurate measurements of the entire perimeter, including the gaps between the lights we call "jumps" of unlit extensions, before the next run of lights. Make notes as you go checking every where you what the light to run along roofline.
This guide will make it easy to understand
Advance Way to Measure
People who are good with technology and want a rough estimate should use Google Earth's Streetview images and 2D measuring tools. We are amazed at how accurate this is. An estimate is good as long as you order a little extra so your not short.
+ PLAN & DESIGN
Design the System
Not only does this worksheet help you with layout, it also helps create a shopping list. You should be able to draw your project on paper to calculate the quantities of items needed for the job. Making shopping easy!
Learn Your Layout
We've Got a Guide for That!
This Layout guide is your map where to start and finish. Knowing how to get the best use of the controller by where to place it. If planned right you can do sections at different times. Meaning if budget is tight do the front now and add on later if you wish. That is what I did. When doing layout you can note different area with different color markers or draw different kind of lines. straight, squiggle, dot dot dot, dash-dash-dash. this lets you know which area has channel or if it is lit cable or unlit cable.
You will understand when Download the Guide.

Tools Needed
The tools needed for installation of your Started Kit!
- Cordless Drill – To screw channels to your areas to be installed.

LADDER SAFETY FIRST: This PixelLights system requires the use of ladders and that you be up on the roof elevated off the ground to install. It is extremely important that you read all instructions, warnings, and safety precaution labels that come standard on all ladders. Failure to do so, can result in critical injuries and possible death. Therefore if you are afraid of heights, unbalanced, or unsure of your personal abilities while using ladders, we highly recommend you hire someone instead of trying to install these yourself.

PixelLights Controller
Our PixelLights controller is where the magic happens! It’s the brain of the system, telling each pixel what it should be doing.
Check out this Video! The app allows users to design and create their own patterns, or select from a wide selection of preset ones. Brightness, color, and speed of the patterns are also controlled from the app and gives users full control over the look and feel of their lights.
The PixelLights Controller 24V includes (2 outputs, 200 ft each, max 400 ft). It's like having two zones without the extra cost or another power outlet to add power boosters like other systems.
A standard electrical outlet is all that's required to power the PixelLights Controller.
Depending on your layout the controller may be mounted outside as it is waterproof. We do our installs and try to install in garage.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect cables while the power is on. Doing so has the potential to surge power to the LEDs, which could cause harm to them.
Also needed a 2.4 network is needed to sync to your network.
Since the Controller uses an app on your phone or tablet, you will need to get the PixelLights app from Google Play or the App Store.
There are also many more options to control your Pixel Lights system on a computer.
All Explained in this manual here.
**Your warranty will not cover “Hot-plugged Lights.” This refers to lights that have been plugged into the controller while it is powered on. To ensure this does not happen, unplug the controller from the outlet and then plug in your strings.**

YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT!
Once you hold the LED cables in your hands, the quality of PixelLights becomes crystal clear.
Connecting Light Cables
SO EASY ANYONE CAN DO IT
PixelLights Cables Comes in 3 Lengths and each Pixel are spaced 9 inches.
TRUE Plug & Play
PixelLights UV-protected cables come with waterproof 4-pin aviation male-to-female connectors. They only connect in one direction with a simple insert and push, and they thread together in the same way that cable does. Note: Install Lights/channels first without controller plugged in.
ANY COMBINATIONS OF THESE 3 CABLES WILL EQUAL YOUR ROOF LINE DIMENSIONS
Example: How many Lit Cables are needed for 20 ft. Lit Run = 3-6ft =18ft 2-1ft=2ft 18+2=20 ft
Example: Lit Cables needed for 17 ft. Lit Run = 2-6ft =12ft. 2-2.5ft =5 12+5=17'
Any excess wire on end can be tucked under channel
DIY Channels/Track Allows Pixel Lights to be Installed Your Way.

PixelLights Splitter
BUILT-IN DOUBLE SPLITS
A splitter is used to branch off and go to a dormer or high peak. The splitter allows the main light wires to continue in a straight line. With the two outlets on top of the box, to allow runs to go in two different directions.
Simply screw an unlit cable to one outlet and run wire to the desired area. Then connect Light/channels as normal.
IMPORTANT! When using a splitter, you must set the appropriate LED count for each output. This is accomplished by correctly positioning the small switches on the circuit board.
The Splitter Guide will assist you in determining the correct settings.
The termination of each string of LED lights for weatherproofing is crucial but simple; simply screw caps onto the ends of the LED light cables. One cap is included with each starter kit to complete a single run.
