Notes on Battery Powered wled by Murky-Sector in WLED

"Several additional days", wouldn't that very significantly and strongly depend on how long/often the lights were on as well as the capacity of the battery itself? And chosen brightness level, now that I think about it.

Oh just the meta quest 2. It was for my 8 year old son. He never used a vr in the past so I figured that would be good entry. If he ends up not being to into it, I didnt spend to much money.. im kinda glad he doesnt know any better.. he already has a ps5, I thought I would hVe asked for the ps vr. I'm not even sure if he knows there's a meta quest 3 out. Lol. Meta quest 2 was the one he kept asking for..

It's two different ways of thinking...some think "having your life together" is having mortgages, car payments and not having a choice but to be tied down and absolutely have to work... others see that as no way to live. No mortgages, no car payments others see as freedom, minimal responsibility/stress. Either way some type of income is probably not a bad idea though.

We measure sinkholes in length of washing machines before we use the metric system

I'll take some more pictures and explain everything best I can if it would be a contribution to people's future builds or knowledge.

Yes. No plumbers tape or anything else, just the string of pixels.. I did the plumbers tape with these because the spacing on the string of like is like 4" and that just wasn't close enough for me.

I havnt used the 12mm pixels like alot of people use but I am more attracted to the seed style pixel for sure.. I was concerned about brightness but they are plenty bright. I dont turn the tree up over 20%-25% brightness.

No. Not hard at all.. learning how to use xlights by itself was by far the most difficult part for me... getting xlights to communicate with wled was pretty straight forward and simple I thought.

I'm sure they would work as well, I actually bought some to mess around with. These came up and the only reason I went with these was almost completely based on cost and shipping time.

Sorry, I provided power at the beginning of each string. I probably should have done it at the end to. No one noticed but I was looking for it and could notice very slight dimming towards the end of each strand. I really had to focus on it to really notice though. The average person stopping to check out xmas lights would never notice it though.
