How It Started

When Olivier needed pixel point lights for his small stage truck, he came to us looking for a solution that would fit the compact dimensions of his installation without compromising on brightness.

A stage truck is a demanding environment — space is limited, the lighting needs to be visible from a distance, and the equipment must be reliable. Olivier wanted a pixel light that could deliver the visual impact he needed without taking up too much room or exceeding his budget.

He reached out to us and requested a sample.

Key Features

1. Compact 26mm Diameter – Fits Tight Spaces

At only 26mm in diameter, this pixel light is significantly smaller than standard 35mm or 45mm models — making it ideal for installations where space is at a premium, such as stage trucks, compact fixtures, and tight architectural details.

2. 6 × SMD3535 RGB LEDs – Brightness That Matches Larger Models

Despite its smaller size, the 26mm pixel light uses 6 black SMD3535 RGB LEDs to achieve brightness comparable to 35mm and 45mm diameter models. This means Olivier could get the same visual impact with a smaller footprint.

3. UCS1903 – Full-Color Addressable Control

The UCS1903 IC provides:

  • Individual pixel control

  • 256 grayscale levels per channel

  • Support for chasing, flowing, and dynamic effects

4. DC24V Operation – Efficient and Stable

Operating at DC24V with only 1.44W power consumption, this pixel light is:

  • Energy-efficient

  • Stable over long runs

  • Compatible with standard 24V power supplies

5. IP67 Waterproof – Outdoor-Ready

With an IP67 rating, the pixel light is protected against dust and temporary immersion — suitable for outdoor use on stage trucks and other exposed installations.

6. Clear Domed Cover – Bright, Focused Light

The clear domed cover maximizes light output while protecting the LED array, ensuring bright, focused illumination.

7. 3-Pin Non-Waterproof M/F Connectors

The 3-pin non-waterproof male/female connectors provide simple, reliable connections for indoor or protected installations.


The Sample Test: Approved

Olivier requested a sample before committing to a larger order. After receiving it, he tested the 26mm pixel light in his stage truck application.

The results:

  • Brightness matched what he expected from larger 35mm/45mm models

  • Compact size fit his installation perfectly

  • Cost-performance ratio was better than larger alternatives

He was satisfied with the sample and approved it for his project.
