The bullet pixel matrix! It's the key to any home light show.
While props and house outlines are valuable in a light show, having a matrix or mulitple matrices makes a huge impact in what you can do.

In our past shows, the Matrix has been the centerpiece to our show. It allows us to tell stories by adding:
) singing faces,
) animated images,
) and a bunch of other fun visual patterns.

One thing that held us back in previous shows is that our first matrix only had 884 pixels.
While we are able to do a lot of things with this matrix, we could only use low resolution images or pull tricks by moving higher resolution images over a path to give the illusion it was supporting a higher resolution image.

We’ve just finished putting together our 2365 pixel matrix using bullet pixels. Here’s how we built it!
