Show Me Your Bullet Pixel Mounting for Eaves.

[kev]

I want to improve my permanently mounted bullet pixels that adorn my eaves. For nights when we use the lights they look and perform flawlessly. But the daylight reveals a not-so-soothing look.

So please post pictures of your eave-mounted pixels. And if you have a link to the product you used, please include it.

I know about PVC pipe and J-Channel but wondering how it all looks especially since there seems to be different J-Channel designs.

If you look at the photos you will see how the Boscoyo strips have become uneven after a few years (cold/heat cycles?). I really want a solution that will provide long term stability and hide the backside wiring better.

Any example out there?

When I started using pixels, I bought a bunch of J-channel from Home Depot, drilled holes in it with a drill press ($70 from Harbor Freight), and mounted them on my door and window frames. I used the little mounting slots on the J-Channel as a guide for hole spacing and it seemed to work well.

Looks like you mounted the pixels past the detent. how are they held in place?

I think I measured the lights and found the closest sized drill bit I could.

Need to be a 12mm drill bit only no other size works good I tried
