Mattos RGB Trim permanent roofline RGB pixel install

[Late post] I finally got around to installing permanent under eave roofline RGB lights, and I’ll share my experience and opinion of the Mattos RGB Trim I used. See my previous post and post on RGB holiday lights for background.

I pre-ordered Mattos Engineering RGB Trim in December 2021 and received the shipment end of January 2022. The boxes have been sitting in my garage for a year, and I just got around to installing them mid December 2022.

Halloween pumpkins and lights

Last year was the first time I used RGB holiday lights for decorative outside lights, and this year for Halloween I started with some Halloween pumpkins.

I used a Boscoyo Pumpkin King and a Goofy Gourd because they are printed in color so they look good day and night. The Pumpkin King stands 95" / 2.4m tall, so it took a little extra effort to assemble and mount.

Last year I used wood planks as backing on my coro props, but that made hanging them a bit awkward. This year I used aluminum channel (cheap 1m sections of DIN mount rails) connected with short sections of thick wood dowels. I notched the channel so that I could hang it flush on the pillars using flat head screws, much easier. And as I did last year I spray painted the back of the coro black to make it blend in as the back is visible from the house entrance.
