This ready-to-go NeoPixel LED Outdoor Netting will make it easy to make large grids without having to piece together multiple LED strips. It looks like a 20 x 20 RGB LED grid but requires only a single pin for drawing to the entire 400-point display.
Each net comes with 20 x 20 RGB NeoPixel LEDs, spaced 50mm (2 inches) apart, already wired in a zig-zag pattern. For signal input, give it your classic SK6812/WS2812/NeoPixel data at 5V logic level (it might be OK with 3.3V but we don't recommend it). Power it with 12V: while it does seem to light at lower voltages, you'll see the voltage dip by the time it gets to the 'end' of the grid and also the lights are much dimmer. 12V DC will work best! Draw is 30mA per LED when fully on, so you could need as much as 12A if you try having all the LEDs on at full brightness. However, you can get away with 12V 5A for most displays.
We recommend our Sparkle Motion board for driving, it comes with an ESP32, level-shifted output, and USB PD and DC input for easy 12V supply. You can get started with WLED for a quick start. However, you could use anything that can drive 400 LEDs.
This netting works well for both indoor and outdoor displays, although we will caution that outdoor-friendly doesn't mean waterproof: don't dunk these underwater and if the weather is particularly bad it would be good to bring these indoors. We also don't expect it to have excellent UV-resistance so keep it from long-term direct sunlight.
There are lots of attachment points on all four sides, including plastic rings on the top and bottom and plastic-coated-wire loops on the left and right. You could easily 'tile' more of these grids together to make larger displays.
We have a variety of nettings in our store. Check out the 40 x 20,80 x 20 and the 100 x 20 versions.
