Greg Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks, that is what I figured but wanted to get another opinion. Noticed this in Davids videos but thought it wouldn't be as noticeable in chases. I will most likely go with the 2801 strips. Now if I can get the wife to increase my budget for next year by a few hundred I will be good;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't have any CCRs, but am curious. Is there something unique about the 6803 strips that come with the CCR? If not, seems it would be cheaper just to buy the CCR controller for $79 from LOR and get the 6803 strips somewhere else. Has anyone tried using a non-CCR 6803 strip with a LOR controller? Just wondering how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 If I remember correctly, I read somewhere the LOR controller sends out different intensities to the strip so it makes the fades alot smother. basically making the steps from intensity level to level a smaller increment. Or at least tricking your eyes to make it seem that wayI didn't know you can purchase the CCR controller seperate from the ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bretk Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Jeff,I talked to ray last night and he has those 2801 flat backed pixels for 12volts in the works! I was looking at getting them 128 to a strand with a 1 meter lead in cable, and done rgb not grb. Fyi:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says cost is not much different, but you can do gamma correction in your fades.Btw nice heart too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how the newer 3001, 6803, or the 2801's would look on say a mega tree!Now if I can just win the lottery!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
