This unique Snowflake/Spinner is designed to hold 168 x 12mm Gum Drop Pixels. This is CNC cut from 4mm ACP (Aluminium composite panel).
This material is ideal for the new Gumdrop pixels compared to my other similar Snowflake/Spinner
With the assistance for Alan from Hanson Electronics this prop has 20 sub-models.

Which pixels suit this prop?
This prop takes 168 pixels in 12mm holes, on one string.
Pixels that fit this prop: EVO Dome 12mm, Dome Gumdrop 12mm, Square back 12mm.
Pixel centres on this prop: 2.5 cm. The custom strings come with 5, 7.5 or 10 cm spacing, so order the 5 cm Pixel Spacing – the extra wire between pixels tucks behind the prop. String length: about 8.40 m.
Choose the voltage your display runs on; each table lists the pixels from the lowest power draw to the highest, so you can compare and choose.
12V pixels
| Pixel type | Per pixel | This prop at full white | Cost per string | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EVO Dome 12mm | 0.12 W 10 mA | 20.2 W 1.7 A at 12V | $36.96 168 pixels, indicative | Custom string, 168 pixels |
| Dome Gumdrop 12mm | 0.144 W 12 mA | 24.2 W 2.0 A at 12V | $45.36 168 pixels, indicative | Custom string, 168 pixels |
| Square back 12mm | 0.6 W 50 mA | 100.8 W 8.4 A at 12V | $48.72 168 pixels, indicative | Custom string, 168 pixels |
Power injection (12V): 2 leads, at pixels 1, 100 (first pixel, then every 100th). Each lead is 10 cm unless you choose another length when you order the string; the manufacturer prices the leads.
5V pixels
| Pixel type | Per pixel | This prop at full white | Cost per string | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square back 12mm | 0.3 W 60 mA | 50.4 W 10.1 A at 5V | $47.04 168 pixels, indicative | Custom string, 168 pixels |
| EVO Dome 12mm | TBC | TBC | $36.96 168 pixels, indicative | Custom string, 168 pixels |
Power injection (5V): 4 leads, at pixels 1, 50, 100, 150 (first pixel, then every 50th). Each lead is 10 cm unless you choose another length when you order the string; the manufacturer prices the leads.
Not available in 5V: Dome Gumdrop 12mm.
Power figures are the worst case, with every pixel on full white; in a show pixels are usually dimmed, so the real draw is lower. 5V pixels draw more current (amps) than 12V for the same job, so they need heavier cable and power injected more often. Costs are indicative (per-pixel price x pixel count) and are confirmed by the manufacturer. Pixels are a Special Orders (members) item, sourced direct from the manufacturer.
