The Chinese also make all the WS281x pixels for holiday lighting enthusiasts. I had 15,000 WS2811 bullet pixels in my display last year all synched to music. This year I will bump up to 25k-30k (my 3rd year fully decorating with pixels). There are many in our xLights group that do this around the world. Twinkly just allows a more simple app control, although we can us ESP sticks with WLED to have more app control with WS281x lights if needed. Otherwise it's more controller and software based.

Dang my guy!!! That's a nice setup you got right there.
I already have a Twinkly 600-set that I love, and was wondering if it'd be possible to save some $$ and just open up the end of my Twinkly set and solder/splice in some additional, much cheaper individually addressable string lights.
Basically, I'm not sure if there's some proprietary Twinkly thing that would prevent the app/controller from recognizing the added strings or not. And yes, I know, that even if this were possible, the addition would have to be reasonably limited for power concerns. (that, or I splice in additional power as needed along the length)

EDIT: Nevermind I thought these were for indoor all-season lighting. I Don't think I'd spend$170 on Christmas lights, but that's just me. LOL!

From my VERY limited experience I'm gonna guess no but don't take my word for it. Only reason I say no is my one experience with splicing lights were some strip lights from two different brands that I just did about a month ago. The solid colors change fine and they all work together but it can't handle any of the fancy blinking/twinkling effects which I'm guessing is the main point of these in the first place. It basically just blinks and then turns off. You might be lucky to get any sort of funtionality out of them if you do that.
Which makes the power supply in the middle like he asked.
How has your experience been getting them replaced? We've had more than a 50% defect rate with our LifX brand strips. Best Buy swapped two sets for us, but even the replacements don't always last and the manufacturer was shut down almost all of last year so we couldn't go through them. It's been such a disappointment.

They started on Kickstarter. My original units still work fine. I actually wish they'd do another campaign so I could get something at the similar price savings.
Overall, they're great. Some frustrations, especially if your phone is on a custom rom or even rooted in some cases. After I replaced my phone it was a much better experience.
