Arnoldc Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Never too early, right? I am designing my display for next year, I am doubling my channel count to 128 channels. So far I have utilized 124.. What do you guys think of the basic design? Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can picture this, where the wreath is, make a canvass wall of brick, and right before the fence line that would be the top opening of the fireplace.. What I would do is put some lights in a box that goes the width of that wall, and make it look like glowing embers, using the flicker effect.. At the top, have well the top of the chimney, with Santa and a spot light on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnoldc Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Alright, now that the sales are coming out.. I would really like peoples input.. What I know I WILL do, is 1 controller dedicated to each mega tree, and I wanted one more for the small trees... But with that said. I am trying to decide on the arches, I was thinking about doing 7 segments for each arch, and a total of 4 arches.. NOW I am thinking maybe 2 CCRs making 4 arches.. I could save money by splitting the mega trees up to 1 controller running both.. What would you guys suggest? Be honest.. What should I eliminate?

John2571 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I would use 16 channels per mega tree, 32 channels for all of the mini trees, and 16-32 channels for everything else. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnoldc Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 This is what I have planned so far in terms of the channel count.16 channels per mega tree4 channels per star2 channels for fence4 channels for roof4 channels for wreath18 channels for mini mega trees (6 of the 5' trees)10 channels for bushes totaling 78 channelsthe mini trees are gone I think this year2 ccrs for the arches are plannedPlus Im playing with something new, trying to figure out how to use it in my display.
