dgrant Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The type of controllers you buy are soley based upon their usage in your show. There's truly a lot of options out there but plan for not only 2014 but also for the years coming. There's probably only a few people in here who can afford to run out and buy everything in one shot so look at long term plans, plan, acquire, build and of course, sequence!

scubado Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The controller you mentioned is best for running high powered leds that run on 36v. It's the only one that I know of that will work for that. The better bang for the buck is the 24 channel controller for running ribbons and 10w rgb floods. DMX controllers are good for this too, requires more learning and not quite as easy to use as LOR, but cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watts UP Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I want to at this time stick with regular incandescent bulbs, not that I don't want to learn anything new, but it is at this time more of a cost thing. (and I hate to say it also my age) not a problem with LED's other then the cost at this time still IMO a new thing on the market.I have seen the cool stuff that can be done with them.

scubado Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 If you have IE 11 on your computer, your screwed in helping anyone. The quote button doesn't work and copy/paste anything. LOR is aware of it and plans to fix after the holidays. Dibs on which after holiday?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
