  • This package includes:
    • White 10mm Coro Star with pre-cut holes for 270 RGB nodes
      • Counts per Ring:
        • Ring 6 (outer most ring): 70 Nodes
        • Ring 5: 60 Nodes
        • Ring 4: 50 Nodes

        • See diagram on this page for layout order and where to connect each of the three power/data cables to the star
        • Nodes are installed on back side with gold instructional writing
        • Nodes are installed going counter/anti-clock wise (clock-wise when viewed from the front)
        • Controller output #1: Ring 1 (20 nodes - inner most ring) + 2 (30 nodes) + 3 (40 nodes) = 90 nodes
          • Universe 20 (recommended for use with our sequences)
          • DMX Channels 1 to 270
        • Controller output #2: Ring 4 (50 nodes) + Ring 5 (60 nodes) = 110 nodes
          • Universe 21
          • DMX Channels 1 to 330
        • Controller output #3: Ring 6 (70 nodes) = 70 nodes
          • Universe 22
          • DMX channels 1 to 210
      • Installation instructions:
        • There will be two connection, each with three wires, that need to be soldered to complete the project below. This kit includes solder shrink tube which has solder and shrink tube all in one part and can be installed using a lighter or small torch (see the video on this page) but we have also included regular shrink tube if you wish to solder the connections using a traditional soldering iron.
        • Start installing pixels with the inside ring 1 as indicated in the star diagram below - there is a circle around the holes that are the staring locations for each new string of nodes. The start of the light string is the end with the white information tag.
        • Go around ring 1 and then switch over to ring 2.
        • After completing ring 2, screw together one more string of lights to the end of the lights from ring 2 and continue installing lights in ring 3.
        • After all lights are installed in ring 3 you will have 10 remaining nodes. Cut off the 10 nodes - we will be adding these to ring 5 later, so be sure to cut the wire in the middle between the nodes.
        • Start with a new string of lights, again with the end with the white tag at ring 4 and continue around until all the pixels are installed in ring 4.
        • As ring 4 is exactly 50 pixels, add on an additional string to the end of the pixels in ring 4 and continue adding pixels into ring 5 until you run out.
        • Ring 5 has a total of 60 pixels so take the 10 remaining nodes cut off from ring 3 and solder them to the end of of the pixels from ring 5 (note that you will need to cut off the female plug in order to solder on the 10 pixels). This completes ring 4 and 5.
        • Start installing nodes again with the male end with the white tag on row 7. Install all 50 nodes and then add on the last string by plugging it into the end of the 50 count nodes already installed in row 7. Install 20 additional nodes and cut off the remaining 30 nodes and save them as spares.
    • Three, 20ft long cables to allow the controller to be mounted at the base of the tree
  • Customer required items:
    • Soldering iron and solder
    • 3/4" EMT pipe or equivalent for mounting star
    • Misc hand tools
    • Pixel nodes not installed, minimal soldering required
  • Recommend items:

2 of 5 I'll give fair and I'm being generous December 23, 2021
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
The youtube channel isnt very help and it shows because there are so many other videos with more views. There should be a complete guide and setup of all your products start to finish. There are many cheaper alternatives. The support is somewhat helpful when they get back to up. "When"

Def wouldn't recommend.

5 of 5 Great star December 19, 2021
Reviewer: Chuck from MA, United States  
Good looking star, good mounting, comes with everything you need.

Ordered this as a kit, but ended up only using the star, because I didn't want to set up another controller with only 4 ports on it.  (The other Alphapix I have is a great controller, but I can't say much about this one.)

5 of 5 Incredible Star package May 9, 2021
Reviewer: Bob Tull from Bartlesville , OK United States  
First purchase from HC and first experience with programmable lights.  I was up in running in one night.  The package is complete and training resources were extremely helpful.  The shipping was quick and packaging was good.  I’ll be a frequent customer.
