Mega Tree Starter Pack 16 String

Want to build a megatree but not sure where to begin? This pack is the perfect starting point giving you almost everything you need (see our list of extras necessary at the bottom of this listing). The strands for this will be 2.5m long so (with the addition of your base and star topper) will give you a good size tree to add a fantastic focal point for your display!

The 16 strand pack is ideally used for 180 degree trees (please see our 32 strand version if you want a 360 degree tree - or a much more dense 180 degree tree).

This pack includes:

1 x 50m HDPE Mega Tree Mounting Strip

16 x String of 12v 100 Count Pixels

1 x 32 hole steel topper

1 x F16v4

16 x Cuphooks and fixings

2 x RSP 12v

16 x Weatherproof Pigtails

4 x 5m Extension Cables

Things you will need to add:-

An enclosure for your controller and power supplies

Bottom ring (not supplied as your requirements may vary)

FAQ
Q. Why can't you provide us a 100% complete kit with *all* the bits I need to make a mega tree.

There are so many factors that make this not possible. Things you need to consider when making a megatree include (but are not limited to);
Is it being mounted on a Lawn/Grass, Driveway, shingle, the roof of a house/garage etc?
Is it being put on a flat surface?
Would you want the tree to start at ground level, or raised up above a hedge or fence?
Would you like a pointy tree or wider, fatter tree?

All of these questions carry different answers, and all relate to the "missing parts" of the kit - The base, the pole and bottom ring. There are SO many ways of getting to an end product, but every persons needs and property will vary - we cannot make a "one size fits all" product that will be 100% safe in every instance - so you need to get those 3 things to meet your needs.
We recognise that these things may be "blockers" for some people - the DIY aspect can be a real issue for some, and we can only offer help with that - we offer professional services to help you get those decisions made and point you in the right direction, and we also support a really great Facebook community who are all more than willing to share their experiences, designs, trials and tribulations with you (you can find out more in our resources section here). There are also a mass of training videos on the group which will help you get there. Last but not least, the lighting community is a really supportive one - you will more than likely find a local lighter willing to help you get started and get these last 3 bits out the way!

Q. Is there a star topper available for this kit?

There are so many Topper options, we would prefer you to choose one that suits how you have your tree mounted, and in a scale/proportion that you like. The controller you have in the kit is more than capable of running a star too - either directly or with a small, inexpensive expansion board (the SRX1).
