KenL_MCSE Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 If you want 120v lights, I hear Philips is going to have something - but not sure if you will be able to control them.Low voltage you have some options. one being the color cosmic bulbs.I have elected to go with these;http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/314088420-12mm-diameter-through-hole-LED-channel-letter-DC5V-input-RGB-waterproof-0-3W-120degree-beam-angle-wholesalers.htmlI have about 1000 of them. You can control them with a LOR DC board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenL_MCSE Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 somewhere I read or heard there were 50 bulbs on the string. BUT - not 100% sure - since I cannot find the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGabriel Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Jim I don't thing they are 66 feet long or 66 inches if you mean inches. Either way it is to long or to short for light strands. Or I could be wrong too.Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I could be wrong too.ThomasI beleive the spacing was going to be 8", so for a 100 bulbs (essentially two strings), that would be 800 inches...or just over 66'...Per Dan in this post:http://forums.lightorama.com/forum25/25718.htmlHello,We do not have firm prices yet for the CCBs but we do have ball park retail prices. First a description of the CCB...The CCB will use power line communication. That means that it will not need a data cable going to it but only a power cord plug and the data will go over the power line using regular extension cords. So for a mega tree you could run a single power cord and use in-line vampire plugs around the bottom of a tree and just plug the CCBs into it. Regular data cable control will also be included.The CCB bulb will be molded to look like a C9 Christmas Light (molds are currently being produced and we will provide pictures as soon as possible)...The CCB comes in strings of 50 bulbs with 8" spacing. The CCB controller will accept 1 or 2 strings of CCB bulbs. The CCB will be sold in 50 and 100 bulb sets. The set includes the controller with internal power supply and one or two sets of bulbs.Ball park prices... 100 bulb set will be about $199 (or about $99 per sting of 50)... 50 bulb set will be about $149... We plan to have them on pre sale in the February/March sale. I do not know what the sale prices will be.------The Cosmic Color Flood will come with a controller/power supply in weather resistant enclosure. The flood heads will be in sealed aluminum enclosures with mounting brackets, sealed cables with sealed connectors run back to the controller. The controller is a 6 channel, constant current driver that can handle one or two heads.If you purchase the two head package, it will run about $149 per head, this includes cables, enclosures, flood heads, constant current driver, outdoor power supply. A single head package will be about $199Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGabriel Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Like I said I could be wrong and I was.Thank for correcting me, now when is the pre-buy.Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 i did the math as long as the 100 ct sets are 66 feet I should be fine on have one set on each mini mega tree I did price comparrison with rgb rope light which is expensive and the ccbs come out to be cheaper at 200 dollars a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's a month in advance of Gatlinburg so we'll probably be discussing a picture rather than holding a string of lights.JeffDan could always bring one of his demo strings....The other option Jeff is that we could tie him up, using some old incandescent minis/zip ties and not untie him until Mary agrees to bring an example of one! :shock:On the other hand.. she might decide not to!
