EVO+ Pixels by Mattos Designs
12V 12mm Smart Pixels • Patent-Pending Design • 18 AWG Wire • Built for Large Displays
Take your lighting display to the next level with EVO+ Pixels from Mattos Designs — the latest evolution in our EVO pixel platform. These 12mm smart pixels feature a patent-pending design engineered for higher reliability, lower power draw, and long-term durability in real-world holiday and architectural lighting displays.
This isn’t a spec-sheet pixel. This is what we actually run in the field.
🔑 Key Features
⚡ Native 12V Advanced LED Technology
EVO+ pixels use a native 12V HS-3248RGB-B chip/LED combo with no resistors or regulators on the pixel. Fewer components means:
-
Fewer failure points
-
Higher efficiency
-
Cleaner, more stable operation
Each pixel draws just 9mA, allowing longer runs and higher pixel counts before power injection is needed.
🔁 Dual Data Line Protection
The 4-wire design using the HS-3248RGB-B protocol ensures that if a single pixel fails, the rest of the string continues operating normally. No dead-string nightmares.
🔋 Constant Current Design
Unlike traditional bullet pixels, EVO+ pixels maintain consistent current draw at all brightness levels. This design benefits larger builds (250+ pixels) by:
-
Improving voltage stability
-
Reducing brightness drop-off
-
Supporting cleaner power balancing
🛡️ Industrial-Grade Durability
Built to survive real weather and real installs:
-
Fully epoxy-coated PCB and wire assembly
-
Over-molded into a PVC outer shell
-
Double-sealed construction for superior water resistance
-
UL-listed LED package with separate UL certification for the pixel string
Rated IP67 and designed for long-term outdoor use.
🔧 Installer-Friendly Design
-
Pixel face sits flush in 10mm coroplast props
-
Integrated locking nubs for secure installs
-
Slightly tapered 12mm shell with a flat back for easy insertion
-
Clear “+ Data –” markings on every pixel
Designed to install fast and stay put.
🪶 Lightweight, High-Density Friendly
At 238g per 100 pixels (4″ spacing), EVO+ pixels dramatically reduce prop weight.
A 1,000-pixel high-density prop weighs 11.25 lbs less compared to traditional 12V bullet pixels.
Lighter props = easier installs, less stress, better longevity.
✨ Brilliant, Even Illumination
-
Full 12mm illuminated face
-
Side and rear light spill for smoother diffusion
-
Bright, consistent color across the entire run
These pixels look good up close and at distance.
