Customer video review of Dragon™ Controllers Pixel Tester

Jon B.Verified

The Mattos Dragon Controllers Pixel Tester is the perfect addition to your holiday lighting tool kit. This tester is is easy to set-up and configure, basically it is plug and play once you scan the QR code and download the software to your device. You can test pixels with solid colors or use one of the 120 preset patterns. You can also adjust brightness and the speed of the preset patterns. Additionally, you can get this tester for free if you have 1,500 RGB points. You will still need the power...

Customer photo review of EVO Sampler Flat Rate

Jon B.Verified

OMG if you haven’t gotten any EVO lights yet, what the hell are you doing, drop everything, go to Mattos Designs website, if your reading this you are already there, stop wasting time reading this review an order these lights. Amazing color, so easy to push into Coro or strips, and super light weight. Makes me wish I didn’t start this hobby earlier this year, I would have used EVO for all my props. I’m already planning for next year. Order up a mess of these JR because you won’t keep them in sto...

Customer video review of EVO Pixels P124

Neal A.Verified

Used evos in both Shape Shifters and one new baby grand illusion. I started with 1K last Christmas in some flat trees. Purchased more this year to use in HD props. Highly recommend these for the reduced weight and ease of storage once pushed into props. Pre ordered fist batch at expo last year then ordered a second batch in December. Expectation was set for a late March/ Early April delivery, first part of the order arrived April 4th. The EVO pixels have been a great addition.

Comparison of the EVOs to flat back gumdrop dome pixels. The gumdrop pixels were not purchased at Mattos. The EVOs fit into the prop whereas the gumdrop pixels would not stay in the prop. The gumdrop pixels would have to have glue to stay in place.

Love the new EVO pixels! They look great in coro props. The colors are vibrant and bright without being obnoxious. So much lighter than other pixels and easy to push into coro...no gloves (or tools) required!

Justin M.Verified

Much smaller than a regular bullet pixel and still as bright! I love the true 12v approach to shrink the size. These will help reduce storage issues by allowing coro to stack tighter together. But, the real game changer is for mega tree strips! Imagine reducing storage by at least two full bins!!! Well done Mattos Designs. The only knock I can give the EVO is not calling it gumdrops!

Customer photo review of Dragon™ Bluetooth Pixel Test Controller | Portable and Convenient Pixel Testing

Eric N.Verified

I'm a newbie to the hobby so I bought this to help with trouble shooting and checking pixels for next year. Decided to put it to use this year on my wife's bronco to control the seed pixels on her roof rack. Cool little tool!

EVOs are great so far! The props are SO much lighter. The appearance is a little different than typical bullet pixels. But, from a distance it’s hardly noticeable as you can tell from the picture - 2 mini trees on the left have standard 12v resistor bullet pixels, EFL SS Fountain and Snowglobe have EVOs and the window matrix on the right is using seed pixels (w/bullet pixels as the outline). PS - all of these are running at 30% brightness. — Kevin, Parker Family Lights

Customer video review of Replacement EVO Pixel

Michael L.Verified

Used over 1000 EVO pixels in the 2023 Christmas show with great success but had a few minor problems with two strings one 100 count and one 50 count. Mattos Designs were very helpful and replaced those strings without any problem. Thanks to JR and the whole crew.

Mattos Designs' sponsorship of the Light Up Ohio raffle added an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the event. Their innovative designs brought a unique flair to the prizes, enhancing the overall experience for participants. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship showcased in Mattos Designs' products truly elevated the raffle, making it a standout success.

The color accuracy and brightness of the evos is the best I've seen. I ran my PPD Wreath in the middle of my house at 50% brightness and gamma 2.4 and is was by far my favorite prop of the year. The prop is so lightweight even with 600 pixels in it that it only took 1 of the Mattos suction cup mounts to hold it all month long.

Customer video review of Tilt-Up Sasquatch™

Michael K.Verified

I got to say there shipping was fast for this item. Let me tell you there wasn't skimping on the materials use. Its definitely heavy. I got it just before rving. Let say it only took me 30 minutes to put it together hang topper and strips. No more diy just pull it out of case. Start having fun. I recommend this item 16 strip of a hundred pixels so 1600 pixels. Already looking at bigger version.

Customer photo review of Custom Order Shipping

Charles B.Verified

Really glad I got the Sasquatch megatree frame. In 2021 I didn't really know what I was doing and the tree was impossible to work with, no tension, and wouldn't come apart so got stored as one lump. With the sasquatch standalone base and topper, it's a lot easier to put up. Gained a couple feet of stature, looks nice and straight because it's under tension, and is much better in storage. I'd never be able to make a tree frame like that, so I'm glad Mattos sells 'em.

Using EVO's for a high-density prop. Pushing is about the same as a bullet pixel. The result is much lighter and will be easier to mount. Light wise there is not a noticeable difference. Looking forward to adding thee to this year's show.

Customer video review of Spiral Tree Kit

Ray P.Verified

We were hit with sever high winds, tornados all around, and these are so solid they didn't even move an inch. Not for everyone but I love the simplicity of them and they fit the space perfectly.

Customer video review of III-Lok™ Gel Lok Connectors

Dale C.Verified

These connectors were super easy to use. I was able to repair over $100 worth of LED light strings by using these connectors! There already paid for themselves!! EVO lights have a bit thinner wire so using the smaller connectors was a necessary step for completing the repairs! Thanks JR for a great product!

This is my first megatree build and Mattos Design was a big part of it! The 1,600 pebble lights and 1" round bottom hoop all came from Mattos and my experience ordering from them was second to none! Their support was very helpful in keeping me informed about my order and helping with questions I had.

Customer video review of Sasquatch™ Modular MegaTree™ Pole

Phil L.Verified

The Sasquatch system exceeded expectations in both appearance and performance. It stood and performed during a storm that toppled many displays in the area. The Star topper did get turned like a windmill in the strong winds. The light strings were also very festively dancing around. All that was fine as the tree structure stayed in place without any movement. If you've ever thought it might be nice to have a great looking structure the Sasquatch Mega-Tree is a solid investment.

I have the permanent pixels on the facia. Love them so far. We'll see how they hold up long term in this horrible heat and humidity of south Louisiana next summer. Fingers crossed!

Customer photo review of RGB Trim™ H.D Blow-Out

Michael C.Verified

I really love this. I haven’t not had the chance to put them up yet. The quality of the strips are really good… the plate that mounts to the house, is not pre drilled. Which is a good thing in my opinion. It leaves options for you to drill whatever size hole you need in the places you want… they snap in good and are easy enough to get back out.. definitely 5 stars on the quality and ease of use! What I do not like is pictured… the track is not thick enough to put the connectors within the trac...

Customer video review of EZ RGB xConnect Pixels-12v 100ct

Matthew R.Verified

Mattos made good on some pixels we bought in 2022 that were defective and we used them to replace all our pixels this year. I appreciate not forgetting about is even though it took the manufacturer some time to send out news ones. The display worked great this year! Thanks Mattos!

Customer video review of ChromaFlakes MiniLight (set)

Joseph P.Verified

These snowflakes are better than expected. The material is nice and strong and the holes are bigger on the back so the mini lights can fill go through. Will purchase more in 2025. I ordered 4. Will be getting 6 more.

Customer photo review of EVO 12mm Pixels – Durable 12V WS2811 LED Pixels with High Efficiency, IP67 Waterproof

Becky G.Verified

The Grand illusion on the left and the Starburst in the photo is the new EVOs. The Grand Illusion on the right are the old pixels. I cannot rave enough about how much lighter they make your props - at 1000 pixels up high on your garage, this was a night and day difference. I also love the face that the lights don't stick out like nipples in the props..Notice you don't see the lights on the 2 props with EVOs, but do with the old Pixels. Much cleaner lines.

Matthew P.Verified

Great lights. The shape made the task of pushing 1100 pixels into props much easier. I highly recommend buying early so you can get the lengths you need. The wires are thinner than others and therefore splicing isn't the best.

JR and the staff came thru.... We had a failure to a piece bought previously that has been discontinued. Without this piece the tree wasn't going back up this year. They thought outside the box and got me back in order. Thanks Mattos...

Customer video review of Dragon™ 8 Output Long Range Intelligent Ready2Run Pixel Receiver

Paul M.Verified

Super easy use. Plug and play for my first lighting project. Couldn’t be happier. Great quality, cool packaging, fast shipping, and the free set up consultation is a great feature.

Dragon™ 8 Output Long Range Intelligent Ready2Run Pixel Receiver

Anna S.Verified

We wanted to make the props lighter and easier to handle. So, this year we used EVO pixels in several props and tried seed pixel in another prop. The Evo pixels were much easier to install than the seed pixels that required a holder to fit into the prop. The Evo pixels were also easier on the hands for installation than either the traditional bullets or the seed pixels with the holder/adapter. The weight difference is amazing. The older you get, the more you appreciate the lighter the props. Evo...

Absolutely outstanding company to deal with. There was a slight issue with my order (absolutely no fault of theirs I must add) but this was dealt with quickly and efficiently keeping me fully.informed throughout the process. I have my new lights installed now and they are incredible!!!

Super fast response they were able to drop ship this package out in three days. This was the last minute order and change we were able to upgrade to the 64 although Mattos Sasquatch designs are immaculate and great for anybody.

Customer video review of The Kraken Rigid System

Michael K.Verified

Gave to say it's worth every penny. I got medium size version. I got one on each side. Material built awesome. I can't believe how easy it is with the ball quick disconnect for the tubes are. Mounting it little tricky but bot hard at all when you got a plan.

Customer video review of Mattos Designs 12V 12mm Pixels – Resistor or Regulated, Bullet or Square, IP68, 2-Year Warranty + $10 Store Credit

David W.Verified

Love these EVO pixels. The pushed prop and it is so much lighter than regular pixels. It takes about 300 EVO pixels to equal the weight of 100 regular pixels. Also they are so much easier to push than regular pixels. I bought the 4 wire EVO pixels this year, no worries about having a pixel go out and the whole strand going out with it. Thanks for your great products Dave

Customer photo review of Sasquatch™ MegaTree™ Pulley Cap Cover & Star Bolt

Joseph H.Verified

First year with the Sasquatch Mega tree pole system. I used the in ground sleeve plus I moved my guy wires to the top of the pole, just below the cap, so if I have to crank it down, the guy wires stay in place. Best mega tree pole I have used.

Customer photo review of Pebble Lights LED String by Mattos Designs - Versatile and Customizable LED Lighting for Indoors & Outdoors

Kevin R.Verified

These draw a little more power than similar pebble pixels on the market. I had to power inject after 200 pixels to prevent flickering vs 400 with previous models. But the tradeoff for that is a MUCH brighter display. Word of warning, there wasn't a wiring diagram included. The strand with the black dot is POSITIVE, middle strand is data and the furthest from the black dot is negative.

The cling mount was the perfect solution for hold my PPD Geowreath in my large window. With the magmount it allowed the prop sway a few degrees, just enough to prevent the wind from folding my prop. My only wish is that I had more windows big enough for this setup.

Customer photo review of Kraatzmas Flat Mount Tree™

Peter K.

First off: the pictures in this review are for the v1.0 Kraatzmas Tree mount system. Mattos Designs has taken my prop mount and improved upon it immensely (with my full-throated support). They're using better materials and standard mounting holes that work with your existing Sasquatch parts or other mega tree pixel strips. These pictures won't even do the Mattos version justice. Heck, I have to bolt my pixel strips to the thing, you just need some carabiners with the Mattos Designs system. Why ...

These lights are under a full warranty and they have great customer service and support if any of these lights fail to perform. They are lightweight, draw less power than regular pixels and shine just as bright as regular pixels

Customer photo review of Maker Pipe T Handle Hex Wrench (Short)

Chuck B.Verified

I used the makerpipe for a frame to hold the selfie wings, to strengthen the spooky tree, and to hold up the spider web. Wait, I was supposed to be reviewing the T handle wrench. It's a fine wrench for the maker pipe, works even at a significant deviation from straight on the bolt. Shame I misplaced the first one I bought and had to get another.

Love the look of EVO pixels. Easy to push and very relibale and come in a variety of string counts. This video show 228 pixels using 100 count, 25 count, 2 count and 1 count EVO pixel strings......

Was asked to create some props for my daughter’s gymnastics meets after everyone saw my house display. The Dragon Pixel tester is going to drive 4 of these diamonds. The number of functions is outstanding allowing me to choose from a number of patterns and colors. Will be using this inside after the meet season is over with and will probably grab a couple more testers just to have around.
