swoop10 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 This is my first year doing a 16 channel LOR display on my new house and i am looking for advise on layout of my lights. I have put up close to 10,000 led lights and purchased the sequences from WOW and LOR, my display looks too busy, its kinda all over the place, any help. I started left to right meaning channel #1 is all the way to the left of the house if your looking at it and 16 on far right side. is this right?

jgp01 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hey I'm new too....From everything I've read, the standard layout(s) for shared or purchased sequences suggests groupings of 4..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swoop10 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 meaning 4 channels in one area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgp01 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yes,Eg: 4 bushes...4 windows etc.....But Like Don said there really is no wrong way, you can always edit your sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testraub Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Personally, I like the "busy" look. Adds a bit of "WOW factor" to the display. The guests aren't complaining (the neighbors...that's another story )Tom Straub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I run everything Red, Green Blue and White...so at the minimum in groups of 4IE...each of 9 Mini Trees has 4 channels (RGBW - 36 Channles), Mega Tree has 10 quadrants with each having RGBW (40 Channels), etc...I place my Controllers where I will use the least amount of extension cord length...So each controller may be operating several different elements and not necessarily the whole element (maybe just Red and Green) and another controller the Blue and white...just depends on your layout...First year I put the controllers in my garage...but that used waaay too much extension cords...

WilliamS Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The premade sequences are usually groups of 4 and side to side left or right is up to you. As for busy its becuase you have for example channel 1 is created to be next to channel 2, which you may for example have on the exact opposite of where it should be. The best thing in my opinion other than reprogramming them is.1 setup your lights2 figure out where your channels will lay out3 edit the sequence to be more organized with that lay out (move channels around or just alter them all together)4 test5 enjoyOther than that you can always build from scratch. Its time consuming but the benefit is when you see it in action it was your own design, time, and effort.Good luck and dont forget theres huge resources for free 16 channel setup, and tons of pages to read to make sense of the software!
