Product Questions

How do I set up my Baldrick-based controller?

You can follow our step-by-step setup guide here: Baldrick Setup Guide (PDF).

Are your controllers compatible with other brands?

Yes. Our controllers are standalone Ethernet controllers, not receivers. Connect the controller to your network, complete the initial setup, and push your show configuration through xLights.

Are your controllers Wi-Fi capable?

No. Our Baldrick-based controllers are designed for wired Ethernet operation to provide reliable, consistent pixel data performance.

Shows are typically played using a dedicated show player such as a Raspberry Pi running Falcon Player (FPP), or directly from xLights Scheduler on a PC.

New to xLights?

If you are just getting started with pixel controllers or xLights-based displays, we recommend reviewing our Before You Buy guide before purchasing hardware.

Are your controllers vented?

Our standard controllers use non-vented enclosures for improved protection against water, dust, and pest intrusion.

Do you offer customizations?

Yes. We offer customizations and modifications, including vents, fans, and additional accessories. For custom orders or specific requests, please contact us directly.

What is your controller warranty?

We offer a 1-year limited warranty from the purchase date on all pixel controllers.

Returns & Exchanges

What is your return policy?

We accept returns within 30 days of purchase. Items must be in original condition with all packaging and accessories included. See our Return Policy for full details.
