9 Pixel Roofline - Bulbs

Looking for something different than traditional icicles or boring rooflines? Our 9 Pixel Roofline Bulbs might be just what you need. Printed in multiple colors to add a festive touch to any display!

Color Choice:

Choose from solid colors or translucent colors. If you plan to backlight the bulbs, translucent colors allow you to use a white light behind the bulbs (1" spaced seed pixels do this very well) and the color of the bulb shines through. Not as bright as traditional Christmas lights, mind you, but enough that you don't have to individually program each color. Translucent colors tend to be a little less vivid from the front so, if you are not using backlighting or want the bulb to have a vivid color during the daytime, solid colors are the way to go.

Choose one or more colors from the checkboxes. If you have a preference on the quantity of each color, specify it in the notes, otherwise your order will be split as evenly as possible.

Pixel Type:

Are you a bullet pixel kind of decorator? Bulbs are designed with 9 pixel holes so, with a 100 bullet pixel strand at 4" spacing, 10 bulbs can be spaced about 8" apart, leaving only a single pixel after each bulb. You can even use those single pixels as a makeshift horizontal by adding our Single Pixel Clips (coming soon).

Seed pixels more your thing? Not a problem, just add our Seed Pixel Adapters to your order and you can transform the bulb for seeds. Use 2" spaced seeds to populate the bulb, leaving a few (4 looks good) between each bulb. Take it a step further by using 1" spaced seeds along with our translucent colored and you can take advantage of backlighting on the prop, which allows the pixel to shine through the prop giving a softer colored glow without needing to program in the colors (just light them with white). Perfect for those pre-show or after hours displays. Note that backlighting works best when the bulbs have nothing behind them, otherwise the backlights also light up the back surface (which actually doesn't look bad).

Mounting:

Designed to be hung from the roofline or soffit using the built in 1/4" hole. Bolt or zip tie them to existing supports or add our Clip On Mounts (not included) to easily hang them from EMT or PVC pipe.

Ordering:

Check the boxes to select which toppers you'd like and enter the total quantity for all toppers. If you have a specific break down of quantities for each topper, just add it to the special requests box, otherwise your order will be divided as evenly as possible between the toppers selected.

Measurements:

Each Bulb is 6" tall and 2.75" wide



Xmodels:

Xmodels for all items are included in the download. Each Xmodel includes submodels for Front Lighting, Back Lighting, and a preset Separator (pixels between bulbs). You may need to modify the Xmodel and submodels to fit the number of separator pixels you choose to use. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance doing so.

Mounting:

Bulbs include a 1/4" hole to make mounting easy. You can zip tie or bolt the bulb to whatever is convenient. You can also use our Clip On Hangers to make installation onto EMT or PVC pipe quick and easy. Clip On Hangers include a removable plastic pin that's used to hold the hanger to the bulb. If you are in a particular windy area, you may need to replace the plastic pin with a zip tie or 1"x1/4" bolt and nut for a more secure mounting solution. The Clip On Hangers have a recessed area for the bolt head to rest so you can easily tighten a nut to the front of the bulb. Clip On Hangers also include a slot to install a zip tie to hold the hanger to the EMT or PVC, if necessary.

A Note About Our Printed Products:

Products are (mostly) printed upon ordering. We're not running a full blown 3D Printing shop so products may take 1 to 2 weeks (or longer) before shipping. If you need something in your hands sooner than 2-4 weeks, please contact us first to check on availability and timeframes. When we get closer to season, these products will very likely be unavailable so please order with plenty of lead time. Thanks!

3D printing can be a fickle beast. Sometimes parts come out beautiful with no effort and sometimes a minor blob of plastic is dropped where it shouldn't be or an edge doesn't completely adhere to the print bed, causing some minor fuzz on the corner. While we make every effort to print perfectly every time, it's just the nature of 3D printing, especially in multiple colors, for there to be a hiccup here or there. Nothing will ever be shipped that we wouldn't put in our own display, but 3D printed items may sometimes have minor imperfections that do not affect the overall look or function of the item.
