CCBs are cool and you can do amazing stuff with them that you could not do with regular Christmas Lights.... However I do not see people abandoning traditional lights and going all CCBs... Time will tell.

Certainly users who go with the CCRs and CCBs will need fewer regular controllers.

As I don't have any CCR's yet. But, I have been pondering the though of them. I have yet to figure anything out yet on them. I want to buy 12, but $2500, is more than I can spare right now.

But based on your comment. If I had a CCR, they connect into the setup without a controller?

I'm a PC only controller person. But I was always under the impression that, for every CCR you had, you needed an open plug on a "controller" for it to plug into! That's wrong!

So wait, the Cat5 wire plugs directly into the CCR and the CCR plugs directly into a power source, making it its own unit, and not taking anything away from any other controller? No matter how many CCR's you have?

Whoa! I NEVER realized this!

It really depends on what you want to do. Personally, I like to see lots of mini lights on a tree and that requires controllers. If you want some RGB stuff in the display as well CCRs and CCBs will fit the bill.

A person can take one or two sixteen channel controllers and animate a whole yard and you just can't do that with a couple of CCRs or CCBs.

Is there any future plans to have non-digital CCBs where the whole strand is RGB but without individual pixel control?

AARGH!!!! LOL

That changes everything for me!!!

Any idea when those might come out?

And what exactly does that mean (non-digital CCBs where the whole strand is RGB)?
That you could just control them to be either ALL Red, Green, or Blue?

All the bulbs on the string could be any color but the would all be the same color at any one time. The string would take up 3 channels in the network... One for Red, Green and Blue...

As I said it was somthing we were considering. Will not be this year (as far as I know) and no idea what the price would be except it would be less than CCBs.

That is something I would be interested in! (as long as the price was low enough).

Could out line my house/windows with one "string" and have lights for Halloween (Orange purple and white) and Christmas (white, red, blue, green, yellow and on and on)

Info from the web
Sale Starts: March 23 at 10:00 PM EDT .

Good Luck.
Where's that information posted at?

Its the top tab on the store site. Here is a direct link.

http://store.lightorama.com/secretsale.html

Dan gave the link several posts ago. But the title changed from "not started yet" to the date and time.



Dan,
I like this new part. Its a small way to even out the field a little,

IMPORTANT: There is a $1500.00 Limit on orders. If your order total goes above $1500.00 you will not be able to checkout. You can place multiple orders. We have imposed this limit to prevent one person from buying up all the stock on fast selling items. (we will combine shipping if you place more than one order).
