The only thing that would have made the YPS Puck track better for me is having a separate warm white channel, but I still found the RGB warm white to be pretty convincing, especially when paired with other exterior lights. One thing that did surprise me in my testing was that in most cases I preferred using the YPS Puck track at half density, meaning 5 lights per meter instead of 10, but thankfully that\u2019s easily configurable in WLED and going with the higher density gives me the most options and I\u2019m excited to add both the YPS Puck Track and the Eufy lights into this year\u2019s light show.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/18-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/18-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/18-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/18-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/18-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/18-2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field acf-content wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">More information:<\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DM-VhGarNgM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/DM-VhGarNgM<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f47521;color:#f47521\"\/>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","rec_category":[54,23],"class_list":["post-10421","recommendation","type-recommendation","status-publish","hentry","rec_category-permanent-outdoor-led-kits","rec_category-smart-home"],"mb":[],"acf":[],"mfb_acf":[],"mfb_rest_fields":["title","gutenberg_elementor_mode"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recommendation\/10421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recommendation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recommendation"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"rec_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rec_category?post=10421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
