mbettez Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm thinking a 25' ccb mega tree would be cool. Use 8 ccb units giving 16 25' strings for the tree. The possible patterns and movements are endless. Would the 6" spacing be too wide? I think my tree last year used 4" spacing leds. Oh the possibilities are hurting my head already!

jimswinder Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 that's what I have been planning since the CCB's were first shown LAST year...also wonder if the 6" spacing might be too much...but they are BRIGHT!!!Only time will tell!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbettez Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Jim,thanks for the reminder. I used 12 ccr's for my superstar tree last year and they were so bright I ran them about 20% for the entire show so they didn't drown out the rest of the house and they were still bright! If the ccb's are as bright I don't think there will be a problem.A mega tree that can go round and round, up and down, and every which way imaginable is only limited by programming time at this point! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, such solicitations should probably have a disclaimer about your difficulty keeping your tree upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Jim - you are aware that the CCBs aren't on sale, aren't you? What's on sale are pixels, not the CCBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswinder Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 maybe I am still confused....(surprised?)but I thought CCB's were just the pixels with C6 lens covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think my confusion stems from it looks as though they originally called BOTH the Pixel string AND the C7 Bulb string a CB100D...And now they are calling the Pixel String a CCPixel 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
