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.
