Minleon is a US-based manufacturer that has supplied controllers and pixel-string LEDs to professional Christmas-light installers for over a decade. Their hardware powers many of the most elaborate residential and commercial holiday displays in the country, often programmed to music with thousands of individually-addressable pixels.
In recent years some installers have used Minleon components to build year-round permanent outdoor lighting systems — essentially repurposing the same controller and pixel-string hardware in a permanent track. The result is a system with more raw control flexibility than off-the-shelf consumer brands, but with a steeper learning curve and an installer-dependent app experience.
For most homeowners in Fresno, a turnkey system like Jellyfish RGBIC-RD (which we install) is going to be easier to live with day to day. Minleon shines when you have a perfectionist installer programming custom shows and you actually use that capability. Different audiences, different fits.
