zing Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Looking for a little help on some sequences with RGB floods (I searched forums and everything that came up was closed topics). This is my first year with RGB floods, well RGB in general, and not really sure how to incorporate them with my show yet. Any ideas / sequences would be fantastic!

Mega Arch Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 8-pack 10-watt 50-watt single flood homemade what kind and how many helps. Most do some form of wall washing unless your name is Santas Helper (Tom) he made a rgb flood mega arch that doubles as viewer blinders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zing Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Oops, sorry. 8 floods @ 10W from LOR. House is a tan stucco, so I'm more curious how well it's going to work on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Arch Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well, I use (3) 50-watt floods to wash the background. Combination stone and red brick. Work great. I have seen many homes using the 8-pack 10-watts like you have and they look great as well. Here's one of mine from a few years ago to give you some ideas.

Photobucket was great - until they got gready. That’s why I posted a YouTube video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Arch Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 On the sequences I sent, if you’re going to wash your background all 8 the same color, you could copy my RGB flood channels and paste into all 8 of yours. Just ignore channels 4&5 as they have to do with strobing the 50-watt floods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Shimmer or quick on and off to create the same effect, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Shimmer or quick on and off to create the same effect, no? Yes. & I did some of that in my programming too. It’s just with the 50-watts, you have options of both ways. Example. Sometimes I’ve already added the floods as my color wash - matching my front bush light strands. Then for extra dramatics, I can copy my c-9 strobe channel and paste into the flood channel 5. Now I’m easily strobing the floods without changing my color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsWithSoul Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 My flood lights are set up as a wall wash, but the choreography can make them in to a very dynamic and dimensional effect even when installed in a seemingly basic application. Here is a video of my favorite song in my display which utilizes the floods. Note that I don't have them constantly on - there are periods with no floods - I just used them in areas where I want to create a little visual impact. One technique I use when lighting up the entire house is to have each flood a slightly different shade of the same color (for example one would be a light blue color and another would be more turquoise) so that way there's a little variation in the wall wash and it doesn't look as "flat." Gradients of color add a lot of depth and visual interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
